Publisher's Synopsis
Practical mathematics for everyday life
While there is no shortage of math textbooks available to parents and educators, much of the common material today is neither practical nor related to real everyday life. Math is a practical and useful subject, and should be learned in such a manner.
This little volume, originally written by educational reformer and pioneer Dr. Edward Sutherland, will be an enjoyable study to the student of nearly any age. It is not a textbook in the traditional sense, but will be most helpful to the parent or teacher seeking to teach math from a practical and useful standpoint and with wholesome principles and subjects.
