A Concise System of Commercial Arithmetic, Adapted to Modern Practice by James Morrison Pdf
Excerpt from A Concise System of Commercial Arithmetic, Adapted to Modern Practice: With an Appendix, Containing a Series of Queries on Bills and Merchants' Accounts, and a Course of Letters on Business; Also, Duodecimals, Timber-Measuring, Artificers' Computations, and the Square and Cube Root; With Their Application In decimals, the Writer has endeavoured to avoid being too concise, by omitting the arithmetic of repeaters, as several modern Authors have done thereby rendering their subsequent calculations inaccurate or to treat the subject more fully than mercantile practice required. He has given rules for reducing circulating decimals to vulgar fractions, by which any question where such decimals occur may be more easily wrought than by the rules usually given in that branch of decimals.
