Publisher's Synopsis
Inductive Lessons in Intellectual Arithmetic is a book written by Dana Pond Colburn and published in 1860. The book is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the nature of numbers and numerical operations. It aims to teach readers how to reason logically and accurately about numbers, rather than simply memorizing formulas and procedures.The book is divided into several sections, each of which covers a different aspect of arithmetic. The first section focuses on the fundamental principles of arithmetic, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The subsequent sections build upon these principles, introducing more complex concepts such as fractions, decimals, and percentages.Throughout the book, Colburn uses a method of teaching known as inductive reasoning. This involves presenting students with a series of examples and allowing them to draw their own conclusions based on these examples. By doing so, students are encouraged to think critically and develop a deeper understanding of the subject matter.Overall, Inductive Lessons in Intellectual Arithmetic is a comprehensive guide to arithmetic that emphasizes the importance of logical reasoning and critical thinking. It is a valuable resource for students, teachers, and anyone who wants to improve their mathematical skills.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
