Excerpt from Workshop Mathematics, Vol. 1

To intelligently perform his work, an artizan must have a knowledge of Elementary Mathematics. When he comes to appreciate this fact for himself the workman generally finds that even the arithmetic he learnt at school has left him, and that he remembers little more than four simple rules and the multiplication table. Teachers soon discover that though anxious to learn, a student of this kind does not wish to lose contact with the practical requirements of the workshop, - he is impatient of "pure" mathematics, - so the question arises how to teach him mathematics enough, by dealing with the calculations themselves which he is actually called upon to make at his work.

The plan which is found most successful is a compromise. It is useless to say that all students ought to learn the broad principles of mathematics first, and apply them afterwards. Experience has proved that most artizans will not attend classes where the authorities decide that this is the only course.

To meet the difficulty classes in Workshop Arithmetic, Workshop Calculations and Practical Mathematics, have grown up, and it is to provide for young workmen beginning to attend one of these classes that this little book has been prepared.
