Numerical Problems in Plane Geometry: With Metric and Logarithmic Tables
Excerpt from Numerical Problems in Plane With Metric and Logarithmic Tables
At the conference on uniform requirements for admis sion to college, in February, 1896, at Columbia College, representing Harvard, Yale, Princeton, University of Pennsylvania, Columbia, and Cornell, and nearly all the large preparatory schools of the East, the Mathematical Conference voted unanimously to recommend that arith metic be dropped from the college entrance requirements, and that a knowledge of the metric system and the abil ity to solve numerical problems in Plane Geometry be required.
These two facts account for the writing of this little book.
