While there is no shortage of math textbooks available to parents and educators, much of the common material today is neither practical nor related to real everyday life. Math is a practical and useful subject, and should be learned in such a manner.
This little volume, originally written by educational reformer and pioneer Dr. Edward Sutherland, will be an enjoyable study to the student of nearly any age. It is not a textbook in the traditional sense, but will be most helpful to the parent or teacher seeking to teach math from a practical and useful standpoint and with wholesome principles and subjects.
