1WANTED! Mathematically Trained Men for Industry's New Recovery Program
3QUALIFY NOW FOR ONE OF THESE BIGGER, BETTER, PERMANENT JOBS
5At last industrial recovery is really on the way. Jobs, contracts will soon be waiting. Employers are already looking around for men whom they will select as "key-men" to take executive responsibility as business climbs up to normal. Are you ready to seize this once in a lifetime opportunity to advance yourself, or are you just marking time, hoping at best for a small raise in salary, while the better qualified man forges ahead of you?
7Don't wait. Start now to prepare for an important job by mathematics training. Now as ever, mathematics is the essential foundation without which you haven't got a chance to get out of the rut. It is the language and the principal tool of all science and of all business or industry based on science. You need mathematics to solve every technical problem; to be able to assume executive responsibility; to improve, speed up, and check on your work and the work of others. Such basic training is quickly recognized and gladly paid for. You are automatically singled out from the crowd and given preference whether it is a matter of a job, a promotion, or a contract for work.
9Now—Mathematics Self-Taught—Easily, Quickly, Inexpensively
10Now you can take advantage of this easy method which has been worked out by an expert for those who do not wish to give the time and money required by other methods of mathematical study. A very simple and extremely interesting group of books has been prepared for you by a man who has devoted his life to teaching practical men the fundamentals of this important subject.
12MATHEMATICS for Self Study
13By J. E. Thompson, B. S. in E. E., A. M., Dept. of Mathematics, Pratt Institute, Brooklyn.
15These books start right from the beginning with a review of arithmetic that gives you many short-cuts and "trick" methods of calculation that clip hours from your working time. Then they go right into higher mathematics, and you are surprised to see how clear it is when an expert explains it for you. As you go along, you see more and more how you can apply mathematics to your own work—how you can easily solve problems that you once had to let someone higher up do for you. In a short time you will be tackling with confidence even the most difficult problems. And then you will realize how much your knowledge of mathematics has accomplished for you.
