Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Language Lessons in Arithmetic: Written and Oral Exercises
But in order to think out a problem for himself, he needs more than a purely arithmetical language. The first and hardest part of the solution of any mathematical question is that which, in algebra, is called putting it into equations; that is, in finding out what arithmetical operations are required. In teaching the pupil to think, his power of using language must be trained; this alone will give him the habit of accurate conception and precise state ment capable of arithmetical expression. This end is kept steadily in view through this whole series of lessons. It is for this they are called Language Lessons in Arithmetic.
