Project Of A New System Of Arithmetic, Weight, Measure, And Coins: Proposed To Be Called The Tonal System, With Sixteen To The Base (1862) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781437041514)

""Project Of A New System Of Arithmetic, Weight, Measure, And Coins: Proposed To Be Called The Tonal System, With Sixteen To The Base"" is a book written by John William Nystrom and published in 1862. The book presents a proposal for a new system of arithmetic, weight, measure, and coins, which the author suggests should be called the Tonal System. The proposed system is based on the number 16 as the base, instead of the traditional base 10. The book argues that this system is more intuitive and easier to use than the current system, and would have many benefits, including simplifying calculations and reducing errors. The book also includes detailed tables and charts to help readers understand and use the proposed system. Overall, ""Project Of A New System Of Arithmetic, Weight, Measure, And Coins: Proposed To Be Called The Tonal System, With Sixteen To The Base"" is an interesting and thought-provoking exploration of a possible alternative to the traditional system of measurement and calculation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
