Inhaltsangabe

This book's central subject is the history of arithmetic. The author presents a division of arithmetic into two main branches: fundamental operations, and methods of computation. The fundamental operations are the foundation of arithmetic, while methods of computation speed up the computation of arithmetic expressions. However, the author argues that the invention of methods of computation is entirely dependent on the fundamental operations, in which lies the true depth of arithmetic. The author then goes on to explain each of the four fundamental operations, showing their history and significance in the development of arithmetic. The author also provides detailed examples of how each operation is used in practical applications, from simple counting to complex calculations. This book is a valuable resource for anyone who wants to learn more about the history of arithmetic. It provides a comprehensive overview of the subject, from its origins to the present day. The author's clear and concise writing style makes this book accessible to readers of all levels.
