Exercises in Concrete Geometry with Supplementary Discussions (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Exercises in Concrete Geometry With Supplementary Discussions

Knowledge is useful only as it is used. It is not enough that the pupil learn the abstract principles of mathematics: he should make them real and practical by concrete application. He-may be able to state a pro position correctly, to give all the whys and wherefores of its demonstration in the best logical form, and yet be utterly helpless if required to apply the principle thus obtained to the solution of a simple problem in arithmetic.
