Rational Arithmetic Complete (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Rational Arithmetic Complete

While deficiencies of early training may be remedied by its use, it is not intended as a textbook for those who are approaching the subject for the first time. Neither is it intended to take the place of any of the many excellent works now in use in the grades for the purpose of develop in g a general understanding of mathematical principles. Such books, while they have satisfactorily discharged this function, have failed to develop the accuracy and facility so vitally essential in commercial calculations.

Other commercial arithmetics have tried to overcome this weakness by following similar plans of instruction in abridged form. Rational Arithmetic follows a very different plan. It is purely a vocational work and therefore places greater emphasis on the how than the why. It is a reference book of commercial Operations, rather than a method of presentation, and should be so used.

Part One is a collection of practice exercises arranged along the lines of the generally accepted order of presentation.
