Short Cuts in Figures
Full text linkIn Short Cuts in Figures, A. Frederick Collins provides the essential "key which will unlock the door to rapid calculation", asserting that figuring is the "key-note of all business". This book is a practical guide for anyone who finds arithmetic tedious or difficult because they were "wrongly taught", offering simple methods and "scientific short cuts" to achieve both speed and certainty, saving time, effort, and money. Collins begins by rebuilding the fundamentals, explaining "WHAT ARITHMETIC IS" before diving into specific techniques for rapid addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The guide progresses to practical applications, covering shortcuts for fractions, decimals, percentages, and aliquot parts. It also demystifies complex operations like "EXTRACTING SQUARE AND CUBE ROOTS". Beyond calculations, the book serves as an indispensable reference, packed with "MANY USEFUL TABLES AND FORMULAS", including weights and measures, the metric system and rules for geometry. It concludes with a unique chapter on "MAGIC WITH FIGURES," exploring number puzzles and mechanical calculators like Napier's Rods.A. Frederick Collins'in Short Cuts in Figures adlı eseri, hızlı hesaplamada ustalaşmanın "anahtarını" sunarak, hesap yapmanın "tüm iş dünyasının kilit taşı" olduğunu savunur. Bu kitap, aritmetiği "yanlış öğretildiği" için sıkıcı veya zor bulan herkes için pratik bir rehber niteliğindedir; hem hız hem de kesinlik kazanmak, böylece zamandan, çabadan ve paradan tasarruf etmek için basit yöntemler ve "bilimsel kısa yollar" sunar. Collins, "ARİTMETİK NEDİR" bölümüyle temelleri yeniden inşa ederek başlar ve ardından hızlı toplama , çıkarma , çarpma ve bölme için özel teknikleri detaylandırır. Rehber, kesirler , ondalık sayılar , yüzde ve tam bölenler (aliquot parts) gibi pratik uygulamalara yönelik kısa yollarla devam eder. Ayrıca "KARE VE KÜP KÖK ALMA" gibi karmaşık işlemleri de basitleştirir. Kitap, hesaplamaların ötesinde, "BİRÇOK KULLANIŞLI TABLO VE FORMÜL" içeren vazgeçilmez bir referanstır; ağırlıklar ve ölçüler , metrik sistem ve geometri kuralları bunlardan bazılarıdır. Eser, sayı bulmacaları ve Napier'in Çubukları gibi yöntemleri keşfeden "SAYILARLA SİHİR" üzerine eğlenceli bir bölümle sona erer

Frederick Collins - Part 1
No full textDr. Collins tells the story of 1520 Sedgwick as a place of loss and morality, where tragic events happened “few and far between,” but the community always looked out for each other and was primarily peaceful and safe. It was this environment, of eager youth and supportive adults, that helped the culture that hip hop would blossom from. The sounds that would subsequently be created were a product of this safe space. Also prevalent in the interview is the accurate account of this development from Collins’ perspective, as one of the first three children to live in the building. He remembers that many communities, African Americans, Puerto Ricans, and other communities alike, had a presence in this peace. This diverse community, a sense of family, and a constantly reinforced hope were the ground that hip hop took off from. Creativity, like the use of flood lights to power Kool Herc’s speakers, and the ideas that created a clubhouse from old cement in the lot behind the building, flourished. It was this combination of creativity, affordable housing, hope, family, and accountability that created hip hop, and, for Fred Collins, the idea that “anything is possible.” (Summary by: Emma Garr, Intern for the Bronx African American History Project - Fordham University).
