Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Short Methods in Arithmetic, Designed for the Use of Schools and to Facilitate the Arithmetical Calculations of Business and Science A very great amount of useful progress has been made, during the last thirty years, in the development of the power of common arithmetic to deal with many problems for which Algebra was wont, less intellectually, to be employed. Algebra has a boundless field for reasoning and operation, in which Arithmetic is only a very humble though a requisite auxiliary; but the employment of the more elementary processes of Algebra to solve arithmetical questions used to be too often resorted to, as a mechanical relief from the more useful work of purely arithmetical investigation. Arithmetic as now taught in the best Treatises exhibits, perhaps, its highest degree of power to deal with the principles involved in the various Rules and in miscellaneous problems; but its operations still admit of considerable improvement in elegance and ease; and to promote such improvement is the aim of this Manual of Short Methods. And here let it be observed that, in many instances, the Author's shortness of method consists in the easiness of the workings rather than in the space they occupy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Arithmetic The author has long contemplated the issuing of a manual of methods and suggestions, to accompany the Graded-School Arithmetics, but circumstances beyond his control have prevented its preparation until the present year. The Manual now presented is specially designed for those teachers who desire to improve their methods of teaching arithmetic, and it is hoped that it may prove as useful as its plan is unique. Part I is chiefly devoted to the teaching of the more elementary processes. The highest arithmetic in the series is, as a rule, taught better than the lower, and there is less demand for methods and suggestions. There is an earnest inquiry among teachers for approved methods of elementary instruction. Part II contains illustrative solutions of all the more difficult problems in the two higher books.

Book excerpt: IN the preparation of this work the author has aimed to secure two results; namely, skill in numerical computations, and a proper understanding of the reasons for the steps in the explanation of processes and the solution of problems. Skill in computing may be acquired without any intelligent apprehension of arithmetical science, and a profound insight into the truths and principles of arithmetic may be attained without much facility in using numbers. Very many people will prefer to have the student trained to be rapid and accurate in computations, and they will esteem a rapid accountant more competent in mathematics than the learned astronomers of our time; while others will prefer that training which cultivates the reasoning powers, even at the expense of practical expertness in the use of numbers. The author has endeavored to secure both these ends by embodying in the book a large number of examples upon which the pupil may be trained to accuracy and rapidity, while at the same time he has not failed to incorporate in it a large number of problems that are designed to train the analytical powers and to develop the reasoning faculties. In practical business life, the processes learned in schools are often of very little value, because they are not the natural processes of the business man. Students who learn to work examples in a mechanical way find themselves unable to solve with certainty very simple problems, after they have left school a few weeks, because they have been taught a school method rather than a natural method. The author has, therefore, adopted business methods of computation wherever they could be wisely substituted for the processes of the schools: he has preceded them with exercises which lead the student directly and easily to a clear apprehension of the steps in the solution and the necessity for them; and he has accompanied the solutions with explanations which enable the pupil to comprehend all that he needs to know about the operations. By these means the student is led to employ business methods of solution because they are generally natural methods, and to understand and explain every step in the process. A student who has been trained in this manner will never forget a process or a rule, because he can devise the process and frame the rule at will.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: . Renewal of Life by Transmission. The most notable distinction between living and inanimate things is that the former maintain themselves by renewal. A stone when struck resists. If its resistance is greater than the force of the blow struck, it remains outwardly unchanged. Otherwise, it is shattered into smaller bits. Never does the stone attempt to react in such a way that it may maintain itself against the blow, much less so as to render the blow a contributing factor to its own continued action. While the living thing may easily be crushed by superior force, it none the less tries to turn the energies which act upon it into means of its own further existence. If it cannot do so, it does not just split into smaller pieces (at least in the higher forms of life), but loses its identity as a living thing. As long as it endures, it struggles to use surrounding energies in its own behalf. It uses light, air, moisture, and the material of soil. To say that it uses them is to say that it turns them into means of its own conservation. As long as it is growing, the energy it expends in thus turning the environment to account is more than compensated for by the return it gets: it grows. Understanding the word "control" in this sense, it may be said that a living being is one that subjugates and controls for its own continued activity the energies that would otherwise use it up. Life is a self-renewing process through action upon the environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An introduction to computational complexity theory, its connections and interactions with mathematics, and its central role in the natural and social sciences, technology, and philosophy Mathematics and Computation provides a broad, conceptual overview of computational complexity theory—the mathematical study of efficient computation. With important practical applications to computer science and industry, computational complexity theory has evolved into a highly interdisciplinary field, with strong links to most mathematical areas and to a growing number of scientific endeavors. Avi Wigderson takes a sweeping survey of complexity theory, emphasizing the field’s insights and challenges. He explains the ideas and motivations leading to key models, notions, and results. In particular, he looks at algorithms and complexity, computations and proofs, randomness and interaction, quantum and arithmetic computation, and cryptography and learning, all as parts of a cohesive whole with numerous cross-influences. Wigderson illustrates the immense breadth of the field, its beauty and richness, and its diverse and growing interactions with other areas of mathematics. He ends with a comprehensive look at the theory of computation, its methodology and aspirations, and the unique and fundamental ways in which it has shaped and will further shape science, technology, and society. For further reading, an extensive bibliography is provided for all topics covered. Mathematics and Computation is useful for undergraduate and graduate students in mathematics, computer science, and related fields, as well as researchers and teachers in these fields. Many parts require little background, and serve as an invitation to newcomers seeking an introduction to the theory of computation. Comprehensive coverage of computational complexity theory, and beyond High-level, intuitive exposition, which brings conceptual clarity to this central and dynamic scientific discipline Historical accounts of the evolution and motivations of central concepts and models A broad view of the theory of computation's influence on science, technology, and society Extensive bibliography
