Hardback. Green cloth with silver lettering. Issued by The British Institute of Engineering Technology. Preface: To perform his work intelligently, an artizan must have a knowledge of Elementary Mathematics. When he comes to appreciate this fact for himself the workman generally finds that even the arithmetic he learnt at school has left him, and that he remembers little more than four simple rules and the multiplication table. Teachers soon discover that though anxious to learn, a student of this kind does not wish to lose contact with the practical requirements of the workshop, - he is impatient of 'pure' mathematics - so the question arises how to teach him mathematics enough, by dealing with the caluclations themselves which he is actually called upon to make at his work. The plan which is found most successful is a compromise. it is useless to say that all students ought to learn the broad principles of mathematics firs, and apply them afterwards. Experience has proved that most arizans will not attent classes where the authorities decide that this is the only course. 221 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
