The young mathematician's guide. : Being a plain and easie introduction to the mathematicks. In five parts. Viz. I. Arithmetick. Vulgar, and decimal, with all the useful rules; and a general method of extracting the roots of all the single powers. II. Algebra, or arithmetick in species; wherein the method of raising and revolving aequations is rendered easie; and illustrated with variety of examples, and numerical questions. Also the whole business of interest and annuities, &c. perform'd by the pen, and a small table, with several new improvements. III. The elements of geometry, contracted, and analytically demonstrated; with a new and easie method of finding the circle's periphery and area to any assigned exactness, by one aequation only; also a new way of making sines and tangents. IV. Conick-sections, wherein the chief properties, &c. of the ellipsis, parabola, and hyperbola, are clearly demonstrated. V. The arithmetick of infinites explain'd, and render'd easie; with its application to superficial, and solid geometry. With an appendix of practical gauging. The second edition corrected. /
