General Mathematics

By Raleigh Schorling

A lucid, practical handbook for mastering the essentials of school mathematics, General Mathematics by Raleigh Schorling offers patient exposition without fuss. A steady guide for learners. Written with classroom discipline, the book presents foundational math concepts in a way that supports clear thought and reliable practice. Through methodical explanation and worked examples it trains arithmetic and problem solving, introduces algebra and geometry basics, and ties procedures to underlying ideas rather than to rote rules. Teachers and students find the tone direct and instructional: a student study guide that doubles as a high school math reference and a reliable math curriculum resource. For self-directed learners the writing is brisk enough to follow; for teachers it reads as a compact companion to lesson planning and classroom demonstration. The focus is utility: concise definitions, steady development of technique, and an emphasis on applying principles to familiar problems. Educated in the style of early 20th century education, Schorling's manual is representative of classic math instruction at the turn of the modern school era. It is valuable both as a pedagogical artefact and as a working reference: a bridge between formal notation and the practical arithmetic and algebra students actually used. For those assembling a mathematics textbook collection it is an illuminating high school math reference; for casual readers it offers insight into how core subjects were taught and learned. Teachers seeking to revisit traditional approaches to explanation and sequence will find it a useful resource for lesson structure and problem selection. Historians and classic-literature collectors will appreciate its period voice and instructional economy - a reminder of the craft of teaching before the proliferation of modern curricula. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
