Manuscript of the late eighteenth,early nineteenth century of elementary mathematics.
Well written, it deals with arithmetic (operations on numbers and fractions), divisibility, greatest common divisor, proportion, complex numbers (operations on weight).
We also found it a very interesting chapter on the new measures, conversions francs / pounds and the introduction of the metric system. The definition of the franc corresponds to that of 15 August 1795.
