Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Physical Arithmetic
The progress of physical science has caused the idea of the unit to become more prominent in text-books on arithmetic and the old form of rule of three has been replaced to a large extent by what is called the unitary method, or the method of reduction to the unit. That method, in my opinion, very imperfectly represents the reasoning process involved.
