The first volume looks at topics such as: arithmetic including discussion of square and cube roots, arithmetical and geometrical progressions, compound interest, double position and permutations and combinations; logarithms; algebra including the study of quadratic equations and the Cardan - Tartaglia method for cubic equations; geometry which follows the approach in Euclid 's Elements; surveying; and conic sections.
Ang unang dami ng hitsura at mga paksa tulad ng: arithmetic kasama ang mga discussion ng square at kubo Pinagmulan, arithmetical at heometriko progressions, tambalang interes, double posisyon at permutations at mga kumbinasyon; logarithms; algebra kasama na ang pag-aaral ng parisukat equation at ang kardan - Tartaglia paraan para sa kubiko equation; geometry na sumusunod ang diskarte sa Euclid 's Sangkap; pagtilingin; at alimusod seksyon.
