Description
From the Preface
In the preparation of this book the following specific objects have been kept in view:
A training that leads to facility and accuracy in handling the fundamental operations.
The placing of emphasis on the fundamental principles of arithmetic rather than upon set rules for the solution of problems.
Clearness and fullness of explanation.
The providing of problems that have an informational value.
Attention is directed to the following features:
The chapter on aliquot parts, as applied to billing, trade discount, and simple interest, is placed early in the text.
Common and decimal fractions are treated together, as is the case in business.
A great many problems are provided for mental work.
Many of the problems are taken from the business affairs of corporations, cities, states, and nations of the world.
Many calculation tables are illustrated and applied to the solution of problems.
There are six sets of examinations (each set consisting of a speed test and a written test) to determine the student’s mastery of the subject at various stages of the work.

Shipping
Generally sent the same day payment arrives. Unless you request otherwise, I will wrap the book in plastic wrap to help protect it from the elements, create a custom-made cardboard box to ship it in, and send via Media Mail with Delivery Confirmation tracking. See the shipping page for the cost to send a one-pound Media Mail package. Insurance is an additional cost as described. I am delighted to combine postage and insurance costs if you purchase more than one item. The second item may travel for free or just a few cents more — so it’s worth taking a look at my other items before you complete your order.
