Book Description
Excerpt from The Franklin Intellectual Arithmetic: For the Use of SchoolsHence it is im rtant that the objects presented to the mind of a chil should have an elevating influence, and excite him to aspire to something more excellent than he has already attained. To make children more fond of study, we must throw around them a literary atmosphere. If in their studies the are constant] reminded of mi sins and area es, can y and pears, fi berts and cookies, it becomes a ifiicult task to inspire them with a love for Academus' shades, Helium's fountain, or Siloa's brook. For this reason, among others, the to books of children, ' such as Tom Thumb, Cock Robin, B as Beard, &c. Have been exchanged for the plain, practical, and unvarnished tales of real life.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Few American lives have been as celebrated--or as closely scrutinized--as that of Benjamin Franklin. Yet until now Franklin's biographers have downplayed his interest in mathematics, at best portraying it as the idle musings of a brilliant and ever-restless mind. In Benjamin Franklin's Numbers, Paul Pasles reveals a side of the iconic statesman, scientist, and writer that few Americans know--his mathematical side. In fact, Franklin indulged in many areas of mathematics, including number theory, geometry, statistics, and economics. In this generously illustrated book, Pasles gives us the first mathematical biography of Benjamin Franklin. He draws upon previously unknown sources to illustrate Franklin's genius for numbers as never before. Magic squares and circles were a lifelong fascination of Franklin's. Here, for the first time, Pasles gathers every one of these marvelous creations together in one place. He explains the mathematics behind them and Franklin's hugely popular Poor Richard's Almanac, which featured such things as population estimates and a host of mathematical digressions. Pasles even includes optional math problems that challenge readers to match wits with the bespectacled Founding Father himself. Written for a general audience, this book assumes no technical skills beyond basic arithmetic. Benjamin Franklin's Numbers is a delightful blend of biography, history, and popular mathematics. If you think you already know Franklin's story, this entertaining and richly detailed book will make you think again.
