LECTURING.

What do we understand by the word NOTATION? Notation is the recording or noting any number of objects or things in Arithmetic it signifies the writing down any number of figures, as 1 2 3 4.

What is meant by NUMERATION?

The act of numbering after figures are noted or written; for instance, read the figures, 1, 2, 3, and 4, thus, One thousand two hundred and thirty-four.

What is ADDITION?

Addition is the combining of several numbers together, as, 3 more 5, more 6, more 7, equal 21. Or, 3 added to 5, added to 6, added to 7, cqual 21 for a RESULT OF SUM TOTAL.

What do we understand by the word SUBTRACTION? Subtraction is the lessening of any quantity, as the number 15 taken from 20, leaves 5 for a REMAINDER. What is the arithmetical name of the Subtraction?

upper number in

Call it MAJOR: the middle number we will call MINOR, and the lowermost number, Remainder.

NOTE. This Rule partakes of the nature of Division, as for example, subtract 4 from 24, five times, the remainder will be 4, the same as the quotient of 24 when divided by 6: that is, 24 less 4, equals 20; 20 less 4, equals 16; 16 less 4, equals 12; 12 less 4, equals 8; 8 less 4, equals 4. Or how many times 6 in 24? 4 times.

What is MULTIPLICATION?

Multiplication is the increasing of numbers with rapidity, instead of a tedious and slow way of operating by Addition, thus, 5 times 8 are 40; instead of 8 and 8 are 16, and 8 are 24, and 8 are 32, and 8 are 40.

By what name shall we call the terms in this Rule?

The number to be multipled is called MULTIPLICAND; the number we multiply by, MULTIPLIER; and the lowermost number PRODUCT. The Multiplicand and Multiplier are also called Factors; and may be termed upper and lower Factor.

NOTE.--When the lower factor consists of several figures, that is, a composite number, there will be more products than one, and they may be called intermediate products.

How shall we define Division?

Division is a concise way of working Subtraction, or of appropriating a larger number into smaller and equal parts; as, 41 dollars divided between 5 men, will give each man 8, and 1 over for a Remainder. This mode is
