Excerpt from Business Mathematics a Textbook for Schools
This work outlines for students of the third and fourth high-school years a more advanced and more thorough course in applied business mathematics than the ordinary first-year course in elementary commercial arithmetic. The attempt has been made to construct a practical course which will contain all the essential mathematical knowledge required in a business career, either as employee, manager, or employer.
The fact that the field has been covered in this text both more intensively and more comprehensively than it has yet been covered in other texts, and the added fact that the material gathered together has stood the test of six years experience in the teaching of large and varied classes of the fourth year in a city high school, seem sufficient warrant for its publication.
The work is adapted not only for use in the classroom but also as a reference manual for those actively engaged in business life. Thus it will be found a practical guide for, young employees who wish through private study to master the fundamental mathematics involved in "running a business." The tabulations, forms, illustrative examples, charts, logarithmic applications, and simple rules, are all applicable to the financial and other mathematical problems which business presents. Lack of knowledge of this side of a business, or inability to work out its mathematics, often results in haphazard guessing where accurate and careful calculations are required.
