How this book fits
See the whole sequence →Work through first
- Kiselev's Arithmetic$44.95
Covers much of the same ground
- Elementary Algebra$69.95
The 1908 single volume covers every chapter here, several of them further, and adds ratio and proportion and hand cube-root extraction — but it carries no exercises at all.
These overlap heavily. Each note says what that book has which this one does not — the differences are what decide between them.
