This book was released on 2015-06-24 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Educational Significance of Sixteenth Century Arithmetic: From the Point of View of the Present Time is a history text written by Dr. Lambert Lincoln Jackson. The work is an examination of the early teaching of arithmetic in the United States. Jackson's book is about the impact of sixteenth century teaching methods and how they influenced later understandings and approaches to the pedagogy of arithmetic. This is an academic text, presented as a dissertation by the author. The work is divided into two parts, part one presenting the results of Jackson's research into historical teaching methods of arithmetic, and part two using these findings to examine the impact of sixteenth century teaching methods on the teaching of arithmetic in the late 1800s and early 1900s. As with any academic text, a detailed bibliography is presented to accompany the work. The Educationa Significance of Sixteenth Century Arithmetic is a thoroughly researched examination of its topic. Jackson acknowledges in the preface that little work had been done on the history of sixteenth century arithmetic teaching methods, and so this dissertation thus serves a dual purpose: not only to create a detailed history, but also to analyze its implications. Jackson is a skilled academic with a mind for critical thinking. Students and scholars of educational history will surely find The Educational Significance of Six Sixteenth Century Arithmetic: From the Point of View of the Present Time to be a fascinating read. Jackson created the first detailed history of the subject matter, and it is one that remains relevant to this day. While this work may not be ideal for light reading, it is certainly an important piece of research. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The result of a research into the subject matter and teaching of arithmetic in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries; and an exposition of the bearing of the arithmetic of that period upon the present teaching of the subject. -Teachers College Bulletin [1910] * * * * * From the PREFACE. Although there is much material on the history of sixteenth century arithmetic, comparatively little has been written on the teaching of the subject at that time, and less upon the educational significance of that teaching from the point of view of the present. This dissertation is the result of a research into the arithmetic of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries for the purpose of showing its bearing upon the present teaching of the subject. The exact period chosen is that from 1478, the date of the first printed arithmetic, to 1600, because between these dates arithmetic took on the form which it retained for three centuries, besides setting forth for the first time its educational functions. So little was written at that time on the educational values of studies that it is necessary to examine with unusual care the treatises and text-books on arithmetic in order to determine the principles and aims which guided their authors in creating them. No general history of mathematics can be of use in a research of this kind, unless it contains extensive extracts from the original sources, and there is only one such work, namely, that of Cantor.1 But, if one were to depend upon Cantor for a treatment of sixteenth century arithmetic, he would obtain an exhaustive knowledge of the leading writers only, whereas the great mass of minor works is necessary to supply a large portion of the data needed to determine the educational significance of the subject. No one has expressed more clearly than De Morgan the relative value of major and minor works for the purpose of interpreting history. "Unfortunately, history must of necessity be written mostly upon those works Which, by being in advance of their age, have therefore become well known. It ought to be otherwise, but it cannot be, without better preservation and classification of the minor works which people actually use, and from which the great mass of those who study take their habits and opinions; -or- until the historian has at his command a readier access to second and third rate works in large numbers; so that he may write upon the effects as well as the causes." Other general histories of mathematics like those of Kastner, Suter, Hankel," Günther,4 and Gerhardt8 contain very brief expositions of the arithmetic of the Renaissance, and all having been written before Cantor's work furnish little, if anything, of importance not covered by him.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Described even today as "unsurpassed," this history of mathematical notation stretching back to the Babylonians and Egyptians is one of the most comprehensive written. In two impressive volumes-first published in 1928-9-distinguished mathematician Florian Cajori shows the origin, evolution, and dissemination of each symbol and the competition it faced in its rise to popularity or fall into obscurity. Illustrated with more than a hundred diagrams and figures, this "mirror of past and present conditions in mathematics" will give students and historians a whole new appreciation for "1 + 1 = 2." Swiss-American author, educator, and mathematician FLORIAN CAJORI (1859-1930) was one of the world's most distinguished mathematical historians. Appointed to a specially created chair in the history of mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley, he also wrote An Introduction to the Theory of Equations, A History of Elementary Mathematics, and The Chequered Career of Ferdinand Rudolph Hassler.

This book was released on 2014-11-19 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This well-illustrated book, by two established historians of school mathematics, documents Thomas Jefferson’s quest, after 1775, to introduce a form of decimal currency to the fledgling United States of America. The book describes a remarkable study showing how the United States’ decision to adopt a fully decimalized, carefully conceived national currency ultimately had a profound effect on U.S. school mathematics curricula. The book shows, by analyzing a large set of arithmetic textbooks and an even larger set of handwritten cyphering books, that although most eighteenth- and nineteenth-century authors of arithmetic textbooks included sections on vulgar and decimal fractions, most school students who prepared cyphering books did not study either vulgar or decimal fractions. In other words, author-intended school arithmetic curricula were not matched by teacher-implemented school arithmetic curricula. Amazingly, that state of affairs continued even after the U.S. Mint began minting dollars, cents and dimes in the 1790s. In U.S. schools between 1775 and 1810 it was often the case that Federal money was studied but decimal fractions were not. That gradually changed during the first century of the formal existence of the United States of America. By contrast, Chapter 6 reports a comparative analysis of data showing that in Great Britain only a minority of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century school students studied decimal fractions. Clements and Ellerton argue that Jefferson’s success in establishing a system of decimalized Federal money had educationally significant effects on implemented school arithmetic curricula in the United States of America. The lens through which Clements and Ellerton have analyzed their large data sets has been the lag-time theoretical position which they have developed. That theory posits that the time between when an important mathematical “discovery” is made (or a concept is “created”) and when that discovery (or concept) becomes an important part of school mathematics is dependent on mathematical, social, political and economic factors. Thus, lag time varies from region to region, and from nation to nation. Clements and Ellerton are the first to identify the years after 1775 as the dawn of a new day in U.S. school mathematics—traditionally, historians have argued that nothing in U.S. school mathematics was worthy of serious study until the 1820s. This book emphasizes the importance of the acceptance of decimal currency so far as school mathematics is concerned. It also draws attention to the consequences for school mathematics of the conscious decision of the U.S. Congress not to proceed with Thomas Jefferson’s grand scheme for a system of decimalized weights and measures.

Book excerpt: This book was written for the purpose of improving the teaching of arithmetic. The experience of the authors in training prospective teachers confirms them in the opinion that the teaching of arithmetic is suffering partly because many teachers lack instruction in its theories, methods, and devices. The needs of the classroom teacher were kept in mind in the preparation of this book, which uses the best methods employed in teaching the subject today.
