The compleat arithmetician, or, The whole art of arithmetick, vulgar and decimal in a plain and easie method, suitable to the meanest capacity : in which the multiplication and division of numbers of several denominations, and the rule of alligation are more fully explained than in any treatise of this nature, yet extant / by J.N., Philomath.

The new mathematician's guide: containing the elements of universal mathematics, and demonstrating Sir Isaac Newton's method of finding divisors. With rules for extracting the root of a binomial, and for determining the form of an assumed infinite series.

Arithmetick: vulgar, decimal, instrumental, algebraical.: In four parts: conteining I Vulgar arithmetick, both in whole numbers and fractions, in a most plain and easie method. II Decimal arithmetick, with the ground and reason thereof, illustrated by divers examples. III Instrumental arithmetick, exactly performing all questions of what nature soever in a decimal way, by scales, with much more ease and facility then can be effected, either by vulgar or decimal arithmetick, the work of reduction being wholly avoided. Nothing in this kind having been hitherto published by any. IV Algebraical arithmetick, conteining an abridgement of the precepts of that art, and the use thereof, illustrated by examples and questions of divers kinds. Whereunto is added the construction and use of several tables of interest and annuities, weights and measures, both of our own and other countries. / By William Leybourn.

A plain and comprehensive treatise of decimals and mensuration. [electronic resource] : Calculated for the instruction and improvement of those who are desirous to be acquainted with figures, in accurate and useful Computations. Containing, I. An Application of Decimals to all the leading Branches of Arithmetic, in a Variety of Examples; together with the Doctrine of Circulating Decimals or Repetends. II. Interest in all its Cases, both Simple and Compound; with Constructions upon the Rules of Rebate or Discount: Likewise several new Methods adapted to the Valuing of Leases or Annuities on Lives. III. The Extraction and Uses of the Square and Cube Roots, particularly a new, short, and easy Method of Extracting the Cube Root. IV. Duodecimals, or Cross-Multiplication, by an easier Method than hitherto practised. V. Mensuration of all Kinds of Superficies and Solids, with practical Errors pointed out; together with the Art of Gaging, and some improv'd Methods in Surveying of Land: Also the various Uses of Specific Gravity. And to accommodate the above work, is added, VI. An introduction to practical music; together with the Construction of Organ Pipes, Spinets, &c. The Whole rendered familiar to the meanest Capacity.
