Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Algebra is like arithmetic in some respects. Arithmetic consists of the study of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of some kinds of numbers, and of the application of this knowledge to some of the common problems of daily life and of business. Algebra continues this study of numbers. In arithmetic, numbers are represented by the digits 1, 2, 3.
