Excerpt from Shop Mathematics, Vol. 1: Shop Arithmetic, Prepared in the Extension Division of the University of WisconsinThe aim of this book is to teach the fundamental principles of mathematics to shop men, using familiar terms and processes, and giving such applications to shop problems as will maintain the interest of the student and develop in him an ability to apply the mathematical and scientific principles to his every day problems of the shop. The problems and applications relate largely to the metal working trades. It has, however, been the aim in preparing this volume not to apply the work to these particular trades so closely but that it shall be of interest and value to men in other lines of industry.This volume presents the first half of the instruction papers in Shop Mathematics as developed and used by the Extension Division of the University of Wisconsin. As here offered, it embodies the point of view obtained through apprenticeship and shop experience as well as the experience gained through its use during the past four years as a text for both correspondence and class room instruction. It is believed that the book will be found suitable for home study and for use as a text in trade, industrial, and continuation schools.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
