Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mathematics for the Accountant This book is the outgrowth of a course which has been given for several years in the School of Commerce and Finance of Northeastern College. It has always been the policy of the School to give its students a thorough training in all phases of accountancy, and annuity studies have been considered a part of the training for that profession. While the course is forming in the early part of the year, it has seemed well to treat some elementary subjects which frequently appear in C. P. A. examinations, such as averaging of accounts and foreign exchange, and at the end of the year it has seemed practical to include a few lectures on the slide rule. A new impetus was given to one work by an editorial which appeared in the Journal of Accountancy for August, 1918. By that editorial the American Institute of Accountants committed itself definitely to the policy of requiring certain annuity studies of all candidates for its examinations. The editorial read in part as follows: "The scope of the examination in Actuarial Science is to include certain problems relative to interest and annuities, certain sinking funds, loans repayable by installments, and so forth, and also the construction and use of tables relating thereto. In other words, the candidate will be expected to answer questions based upon a knowledge which will have been obtained in the study of algebra.
