Egorov's Collection of Arithmetic Problems on Whole Numbers
by F. I. Egorov
Translated by Valery Manokhin, PhD
A graded problem book for the whole course of arithmetic in whole numbers, in first faithful English translation from the original Russian edition: 1,600 problems, with answers to 1,245 of them. It begins with numeration to a thousand, a million and beyond and with the meaning of the four operations, then works through written addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of multi-digit numbers, with its own sections on how a sum, difference, product and quotient change when their components change. Compound denominate numbers run alongside at every stage, followed by problems on time and on square and cubic measures, and a final set on all operations.
