" Evidently the work of a thoroughly good teacher. The elementary truth, that arithmetic is common sense, is the principle which pervades the whole book, and no process, however simple, is deemed unworthy of clear explanation. Where it seems advantageous, a rule is given after the explanation. . . . Mr. Lock's admirable Trigonometry...
Page 105 - Conversely, the difference of the squares of any two quantities is equal to the product of the sum and the difference of the two quantities.
Page 89 - The product is a2+2a6-}-62; from which it appears, that the square of the sum of two quantities, is equal to the square of the first plus twice the product of the first by the second, plus the square of the second.
Page 87 - It is evident from the Rule of Signs that (1) no even power of any quantity can be negative; (2) any odd power of a quantity will have the same sign as the quantity itself. NOTE. It is especially worthy of notice that the square of every expression, whether positive or negative, is positive.
