Let a, b, c be the lengths of the sides of a right-angled triangle, draw a perpendicular from the apex intersecting the hypothenuse c, and divide it into two lengths d and e. We then have three similar rightangled triangles and the following two sets of proportions:- , from which ...
(Legend has it that the book is named after his daughter after her wedding failed to materialise on account of an accident with the clock, but there is no historical evidence to that effect.) The book presents, apart from various introductory aspects of arithmetic, geometry of triangles and ...
In math, it means that what is on the left of the sign has the same numerical value as what is on the right side of the sign. This could be something simple like 2=2 or something more difficult like y=3x-2. Understanding that no matter which type of statement given, simple or ...
but 2020 has also been marked by the COVID-19 pandemic and emergency distance/online/hybrid teaching. Each of these new challenges for higher education has evolved alongside a movement to stand up for Black lives. The data are clear: these issues...
He was aware, if I am right, that every infinite set of numbers or numbered things has the property of being in one-to-one correspondence with some of its proper subsets (borrowing the first letters of the names of Avicenna and Dedekind, I would like to call this property ‘AD-property...

“natural” any specific interpretation may be. This is equally true of diagrammatic systems; and so this can be confusing (especially where certain interpretations seem natural because of “resemblances,” e.g., the supposed resemblances between drawn triangles and real triangles). I’ll discuss...
