Basic Dozenal Arithmetic
       Donald P. Goodman III
       
       Arithmetic has both fascinated and terrified students
       for countless generations.  A big part of that fright,
       though, has been due to the use of decimal numbering.
       The more or less chaotic multiplication tables; the lack of
       easy factors, particularly for thirds; and, most of all,
       the lack of adequate explanation of the place notation
       system in general have served to make arithmetic, and by
       extension mathematics, an opaque subject full of magical
       spells that, when executed properly, will give the right
       result, but which are only imperfectly understood.
       
       This text starts from the very beginning, with counting;
       explains place notation along with other notational
       systems; and goes through basic and advanced arithmetic
       step-by-step, with examples and exercises.  Featuring
       answers to the exercises; a complete glossary; a table of
       definitions; an appendix of tables; and recommendations
       for further reading, the adult student should need no
       other text.
