Arithmetic of 1935 is an interesting book discussing the four prinipal operations of mathematics, though it is not quite Busby Berkeley’s Gold Diggers of 1935. It is however a very neat and orderly and in some ways exhaustive treatment of its subject, and that it does share with the brilliant choreography of Mr Berkeley.
I’ve touched on Mr. Berkeley’s work a couple of other times on this blog: Bio-Mathematics in Busby Berkeley Musicals (here) Mr. Mole, the Stationary Busby Berkeley of Mass Crowd Installation Photographs, 1918 (here).
