Senfpmbpr. 195ft Thirteenth Printing, June, 1957 Preface It is now somewhat more than twenty years since the publica tion of the first edition of Mathematics of Accounting. Those familiar with the original edition, and the revised edition ten years later, will find that in the present revision the sequence of subjects has been considerably changed the treatment of some subjects has been amplified certain other subjects have been added. Some problems have been changed new problems and review problems have been included. Subjects new to Part 1 are Factors and Multiples, Business Insurance, and Payroll Records and Procedure. The chapter on Graphs has been expanded to include Index Numbers. Part 2 has been enlarged to include chapters on the following Permutations and Combinations, Probability, Probability and Mortality, Life Annuities, Net Premiums, and Valuation of LifeInsurance Policies. Algebraic formulas have been changed to conform to standard usage, while arithmetical substitutions and detailed solutions have been retained. Those desiring to work entirely from the tables in the appendix will find table references in the detailed solutions. Grateful recognition is here given to those who have taught from the previous editions and who have responded with sugges tions for this revision, ARTHUR B. CURTIS JOHN H.
