Techniques for applying mathematical concepts in the real world: six rarely taught but crucial tools for analysis, research, and problem-solving. Many young graduates leave school with a solid knowledge of mathematical concepts but struggle to apply these concepts in practice. Real scientific and engineering problems are different from those found…

This arithmetic textbook aims to teach the reading of figures so as to train the mind to instantly catch the idea that any combination of figures is intended to express. This is to be done by "the simple process of reading;" and the method consists: (1) in teaching the alphabet; and (2) in teaching the combinations of the alphabet, which…
