Excerpt from A Course of Mathematics, Vol. 1: Designed for the Use of the Officers and Cadets, of the Royal Military College

A thorough knowledge of Fractions, with the proper management of the Rules of Proportion, will enable the student very readily to comprehend nearly all that is necessary to be acquired in Arithmetic: for most of the other branches, as Single Position, Fellowship, Barter, Rules of Exchange, Discount, and interest, are only applications of the Rule of Three. We therefore abridge the usual number of heads. And give a greater variety of examples under that of Proportion. Simple and Compound Interest however, are made separate articles. But Permutations, Combinations, and Alligation, with the exception of an example or two, are omitted: because nothing more than a partial and imperfect know. Ledge of those rulescanbe attained without the helpofal.
