Publisher's Synopsis
For the slightly more advanced student of mathematics Ray's New Higher Arithmetic: A Revised Edition of the Higher Arithmetic is one in a series of mathematics textbooks authored by Joseph Ray presenting a more advanced math curriculum than Ray's New Practical Arithmetic.
Ray's New Higher Arithmetic is an all-encompassing treatise on the subject of arithmetic, geared slightly towards the more advanced learner. The book still begins with the basics however, and early chapters focus on numeration and notation, as well as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. From there, the author introduces more advanced topics, including decimal fractions, compound denominate numbers, proportion, evolution, and mensuration. Throughout the work Ray introduces and explains the laws of mathematics and presents example problems illustrating the theory. The book concludes with a section of miscellaneous review questions, presented alongside the correct answer.
Ray's New Higher Arithmetic is certainly successful in presenting its subject matter in an effective manner. The book would be appropriate for both the independent learner as well as math teachers. While the content is aimed at the more advanced student, the material is presented in such a way that this volume could be used as an introductory text by a willing and hard worker.
