1922 Speed and Fun With Figures T. O’Conor Sloane J. E. Thompson H. E. Licks DJ
This is a rare antiquarian copy of “Speed and Fun With Figures” from 1922, presented in its original dust jacket. Authored by T. O’Conor Sloane, J. E. Thompson, and H. E. Licks, this fascinating book is described as “Three Books in One,” covering rapid arithmetic, methods used by “Lightning Calculators,” uses of the slide rule, and thousands of puzzles and recreations. Published by D. Van Nostrand Company, Inc. in New York, this volume offers a unique glimpse into mathematical education and entertainment from the early 20th century. A wonderful collectible for enthusiasts of mathematics, vintage books, and intellectual curiosities. The book is in good condition for its age, with wear to the dust jacket as shown in the images, but the text block remains solid and readable.
