About This Item
1834 Handwritten Mathematics Manuscript WINE & BEER Apothecary Drugs Stocks
An interesting handwritten manuscript of mathematics lessons, theories, and problems. The lessons cover mathematical concepts such as subtraction, proportion, multiplication, and division, including an interesting section entitled 'The Rule of Three'. The lessons are then applied in a variety of practical questions, such as converting measurements between apothecary, troy, and avoirdupois weights and measures; understanding billing, expenses, and cost of services rendered; use of currency; brokerage of stocks; and many more. These practical questions often feature goods and services students would frequently interact with on a daily basis during this time period, such as the cost of ingredients for wine and beer; understanding how many garments could be made from a given length of cloth; travel distances over time; and cost of tobacco, to name just a few.
