This volume is more advanced than Brooks’ other mental<br />
arithmetic publications. After a much shorter introduction<br />
to the standard arithmetical operations, there are sections<br />
on fractions, factoring, mixed radix numbers (lengths,<br />
weights, etc.), and calendar and business problems. An<br />
interesting paragraph in the section on numeration lists,<br />
after Roman numerals, the lumbermen’s notation.<br />
The union in the title refers to his union <strong>of</strong> mental and<br />
written arithmetic in one volume and has nothing to do<br />
with trade unions.<br />
