Abstract
HAD Dr. Evers been entirely unknown to us, we should have had no hesitation whatever in saying that this is the work of a practical teacher; of one who has fully realised the difficulties of “teaching arithmetic,” and by long experience and patient observation learnt to cope with those difficulties successfully. The arrangement is unquestionably good and in some respects original; the definitions and explanations are short and to the point, indeed we could wish in some cases the author had made them fuller; the problems are numerous and interesting and more of the ordinary daily business type than fanciful improbabilities; and the solutions as far as we have examined them remarkable for accuracy.
