Arithmetic is among the elementary branches of mathematics. It involves the study of numbers, relations between them, and observations on numbers. These are studied to solve various number problems. Addition, subtraction, division and multiplication are the basic arithmetic operations. Arithmetic generally refers to the elementary aspects of the theory of numbers, arts of measurement, and numerical computation. Counting is the act of determining the number of objects present in a set. The numbers thus obtained are called natural numbers. When no object is present, the count produces the number zero, which added to the natural numbers, comprises the set of whole numbers. This book is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex subjects related to whole numbers arithmetic. Some of the diverse topics covered herein address the varied branches that fall under this category. For all those who are interested in whole numbers arithmetic, this book can prove to be an essential guide.
Most people start writing at a young age, and mature into seasoned writers. I waited until retirement, and began writing the stories that had been brewing in my head for over 30 years. As a native New Englander, my novels primarily take place in the eastern U.S. where I worked as a private investigator for a number of years. I have also served on the boards of directors for Citizens in Community Service, and Coalition Against Domestic Violence in Fulton County N.Y., where I also served as a police chaplain in the cities of Johnstown and Gloversville. I now reside in Alexandria, VA. My first novel Cob: Search For A Serial Killer was published in July. I have recently published a 2nd novel Twin Killing. My third novel Red Ink was published in December of 2020. I have now begun work on a 4th novel Contortionist. A star circus performer is being stalked. Our agency is hired to protect her. When not writing, I enjoy my retirement walking neighborhood dogs.
