This book was released on 2017-12-23 with total page 238 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: Excerpt from The Teaching of Arithmetic This work has been prepared with a view to the needs of Teachers' Reading Circles and of those who are giving in struction or supervising the work in arithmetic in the elemen tary schools. The effort has been made to free it from the more difficult technicalities of mathematics as far as possible, and from that phraseology of the world of pedagogy that renders educational problems unnecessarily difficult. It is the author's desire to place before the large body of teachers of arithmetic, rather than the few who are interested in the technicalities of experiment, a brief silmmary of the develop ment of the science and of the reasons for teaching it; a statement of the subject matter that may properly be selected for school purposes, and the arrangement of this matter in a course of study; a consideration of a few of the technical features of arithmetic; and a discussion of the work of the several school years. He feels it quite unnecessary, however, to repeat at length the simple explanations and devices that are found in any good textbook, believing that the teacher will usually find it advantageous in such matters to follow the book that she is using.

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.

This book was released on 2015-06-28 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Study of Mathematical Education Including the Teaching of Arithmetic This study is based upon twenty years' experience of school and college education ranging through all grades, including the very elements of counting and form in the kindergarten, the mathematics appropriate to the school, and the standard required of students for an Honours Degree in our universities. Conclusions based on class-teaching and those arrived at by experiment and by a private study of the individual have served both to correct and to supplement each other. The substance of the present volume has also formed the introductory part of a course of lectures on the teaching of mathematics, which, for many years, I have given in various institutions to classes of teachers from almost all types and grades of schools, elementary as well as secondary and tertiary. I may perhaps be permitted here to acknowledge the benefit derived from the sympathetic criticism and cooperation of these teachers, in particular Mr. Hodgson, lately of Bingley Grammar School, and Mr. Walker, of Sunderland, the blind teacher of blind children. I should be ungrateful did I not also mention the stimulus received in my college days from the lectures and teaching of Professor Chrystal and the late Professor Tait, of Edinburgh University.
