Side 25 - If a straight line be divided into any two, parts, the square on the whole line is equal to the sum of the rectangles contained by the whole and each of the parts*.
Side xiv - ... mathematicians on this question, is plainly expressed in the Report of MM. Demogeot and Montucci. ..." I should have to quote very largely indeed if I wished to draw attention to every hazardous statement which has been advanced; I must therefore severely restrain myself. Consider the following : " Unquestionably the best teachers depart largely from his words, and even from his methods. That is, they use the work of Euclid, but they would teach better without it. And this is especially true...
Side i - Now you are here,' said the patient, • I shall be obliged to you, Sir Richard, if you will tell me how I must live, what I may eat, and what not.' My directions as to that point,' replied Sir Richard,
Side 295 - ... 23".5. 40. Since angles at the centre of a circle are to each other as the arcs of the circumference intercepted between their sides (Geom., Prop. XVII. Bk. III.), these arcs may be regarded as the measures of the angles, and the number of units of arc intercepted on the circumference may be used to express both the arc and the corresponding angle. 41. A degree of arc...
Side 22 - If a straight line be divided into any two parts, the rectangles contained by the whole and each of the parts, are together equal to the square of the whole line. Let the straight line AB be divided...

Side xiv - ... leads me to the conclusion that the syllogistic form instead of being an impediment is really a great assistance, especially to early students. " Unsuggestiveness " has been urged as a fault in Euclid ; which is interpreted to mean that it does not produce ability to solve problems. We are told : " Everybody recollects, even if he have not the daily experience, how unavailable for problems a boy's knowledge of Euclid generally is. Yet this is the true test of geometrical knowledge ; and problems...
