Cocker's decimal arithmetick
Cocker, Edward 1631-1675
Cocker's decimal arithmetick wherein is shewed the nature and use of decimal fractions, in the usual rules of arithmetick, and in the mensuration of planes and solids. Together with tables of interest, and rebate for the valuation of leases and annuities, present, or in reversion, and rules for calculating of those tables. Whereunto is added his Artificial arithmetick, shewing the genesis or fabrick of the logarithmes, and their use in the extraction of roots, the solving of questions in anatocisme, and in other arithmetical rules in a method not usually practised. Also his Algebraical arithmetick, containing the doctrine of composing and resolving an equation; with all other rules requisite for the understanding of that mysterious art, according to the method used by Mr. John Kersey in his incomparable treatise of algebra. Composed by Edward Cocker, late practitioner in the arts of writing, arithmetick, and engraving. Perused, corrected, and published by John Hawkins, ... - London printed by J. Richardson, for Tho. Passinger, at the Three Bibles on London-Bridge, and Tho. Lacy, at the Golden-Lyon in Southwark MDCLXXXV. [1685] - [16], 144, 135-181, 180-436 p. diagrams 8o
