About

In 1729, the first American mathematics textbook, “Arithmetic Vulgar and Decimal,” was published anonymously in Boston. The story of its author, Isaac Greenwood, and his little book, with its shortcuts and blank space for calculations, is one of home-grown American industry, innovation, and tragedy.
