| 22599 | [ 288] The second question relating to Boethius is this: Could he possibly have known the Hindu numerals? 22599 ( 2) Could he have known these numerals? 22599 ( 2) Did Boethius know them? 22599 ( 3) Is there any positive or strong circumstantial evidence that he did know them? 22599 ( 4) What are the probabilities in the case? 22599 304- 305, and note, p. 305; Karl Krumbacher,Woher stammt das Wort Ziffer( Chiffre)? |
| 22599 | And if these Kufic characters reached there, then why not the numeral forms as well? |
| 22599 | And why should this not be the case? |
| 22599 | As to the fourth question, Did Boethius probably know the numerals? |
| 22599 | How did such an inscription find its way, perhaps in the time of Alcuin of York, to England? |
| 22599 | In answer therefore to the second question, Could Boethius have known the Hindu numerals? |
| 22599 | Let us now consider the third question, Is there any positive or strong circumstantial evidence that Boethius did know these numerals? |
| 22599 | Now what numerals did Mesopotamia use? |
| 22599 | Shall we say that it was mere accident that one people wrote"one"vertically and that another wrote it horizontally? |
| 22599 | The question is often asked, why did not these new numerals attract more immediate attention? |
| 22599 | The question then remains, how did this second form find its way into Europe? |
| 22599 | This large question[273] suggests several minor ones:( 1) Who was Boethius? |
| 22599 | Two questions are presented by Woepcke''s theory:( 1) What was the nature of these Spanish numerals, and how were they made known to Italy? |
| 22599 | Why did they have to wait until the sixteenth century to be generally used in business and in the schools? |
| 22599 | Why should such a scholarly writer have given them with no mention of their origin or use? |
| 22599 | Why, then, did the Chinese write{ 29} theirs horizontally? |
| 22599 | [ 101] Now where did China get these forms? |

| 45691 | _ Or is it a mere prostitution of mathematical talent? 45691 Are the spiritualists, too, reduced to the necessity of further mystifying their already adequately mysterious phenomena? 45691 But can we grant this wholly to be true? 45691 But even granting this view, are we not compelled to recognize the dynamism of space as a necessary inference? 45691 But is space this opportunity of motility? 45691 But where is the utility of such a dream if it be merely a dream and impossible of realization? 45691 But why this prolonged struggle, why this intellectual maneuvering and sophistry? 45691 Does the mind intuitively measure its contents or its operations by the empirical standard of space- measurement known as dimension? 45691 Else why can we not be certain that the results of our rational processes are correct at all times? 45691 Even if it be granted that such may be the case, is it not certain that there is a limit to things in the objective universe? 45691 How shall we make the passage? 45691 If, however, on account of the exigencies that might arise, we are forced to seek solace in the notion of an_ n_-space whither shall we turn for it? 45691 In other words, does the mind habitually and intuitively refer its data to a system of coördinates for final determination? 45691 Is it a question of_Love''s Labour''s Lost? |

| 45691 | May there not be spaces of four dimensions and more?" |
| 45691 | Now what is the attitude of the intellect, in the light of the_ a priori_, towards space and the question of dimensionality? |
| 45691 | Now, what is it that passes from form to form? |
| 45691 | Or is possibility of motion space? |
| 45691 | Or shall we be satisfied with less than this? |
| 45691 | Or, is the passage possible? |
| 45691 | What does it matter that metageometricians shall be able to demonstrate that space exhibits itself to the senses in a four- or_ n_-dimensional manner? |

| 5768 | For a good summary of the killer- app phenomenon, see Philip Ben- David,"Whatever Happened to the` Killer App''?" |

| 5768 | How could I do that? |

| 254 | ( he stretches) Socrates: So, boy, we can change the parts of the ratios, without changing the real meaning of the ratio itself? |
| 254 | A ratio makes a rational number? |
| 254 | And getting farther is largely a matter of guesswork, is it not? |
| 254 | And that must mean it ca n''t be a member of the last group, does n''t it? |
| 254 | And what of two? |
| 254 | And what shall I offer you as a return wager? |
| 254 | Any other kind? |
| 254 | Are all great thoughts as simple as these, once you see them clearly? |
| 254 | Boy: Are you sure we have proved this properly? |
| 254 | Boy: I thought I had demonstrated that, Socrates? |
| 254 | Boy: We want to see if this square root of two we discovered the other day is a member of the rational numbers? |
| 254 | Boy: Yes, Socrates, though I remember thinking that there should have been a number which would give eight, Socrates? |
| 254 | Boy: Yes, shall I tell you? |
| 254 | Boy: You mean anything? |
| 254 | Boy: You want me to call the numbers made from ratios of whole numbers something called rational? |
| 254 | Can you divide by other numbers than two? |
| 254 | Can you do as well, today? |
| 254 | Can you do it? |
| 254 | Could we make any other kind? |
| 254 | Do all school children know that, Meno? |
| 254 | Do thoughts get simpler as they get greater? |
| 254 | Do you know how long that line is, boy? |
| 254 | Does it violate our agreement? |
| 254 | Does that suit you? |
| 254 | Have I failed? |
| 254 | He comes to Meno) Boy: Do you see? |
| 254 | His teacher must be proud, for I have taught him nothing of this, have I? |
| 254 | How is that with you? |
| 254 | If we multiply these numbers times themselves, what do we get, boy? |
| 254 | Is it odd or even? |
| 254 | Is this much correct? |
| 254 | Is this not the way to virtue? |
| 254 | Meno: And in giving you freedom, I would be remiss if I did not give you a job and a coming out party of equal position with your wealth, would I not? |
| 254 | Meno: Therefore, I would have to give to you the freedom to own the money, before I could give you the money, would I not? |
| 254 | Meno:( turns to the boy) You are aware that a servant may not own the amount of gold I would have to give you, should you win the day? |
| 254 | Now, this number, do you remember if it had to be larger or smaller than one? |
| 254 | Shall I tell the boy what he shall receive? |
| 254 | Shall we go on? |
| 254 | So the square root of two is smaller than the side two which is the root of four, and larger than the side one which yields one? |
| 254 | Socrates: And an even number is two times one whole number? |
| 254 | Socrates: And can our square root of two be in that group? |
| 254 | Socrates: And could an even number be double an odd number? |
| 254 | Socrates: And how many of them were there? |
| 254 | Socrates: And if a number is two times any whole number, it must then be an even number, must it not? |
| 254 | Socrates: And if the top number is four times some whole number, then a number half as large would have to be two times that same whole number? |
| 254 | Socrates: And shall have we a wager on the events of today? |
| 254 | Socrates: And the one particular square on the diagonal we made, whose area was two, do you remember that one? |
| 254 | Socrates: And the second, or bottom number, is the result of an odd number times itself? |
| 254 | Socrates: And would you like to hire the Pythagoreans to run your household, Meno? |
| 254 | Socrates: And you know the way to undo multiplication? |
| 254 | Socrates: Can you give me an estimate? |
| 254 | Socrates: Do I? |
| 254 | Socrates: Do you agree with the way I told him this, Meno? |
| 254 | Socrates: Let''s try odd over even next, shall we? |
| 254 | Socrates: Meno, have you anything to contribute here? |
| 254 | Socrates: Now if a number is to be twice as great as another, it must be two times that number? |
| 254 | Socrates: Now think carefully, boy, what kind of ratios can we make from even numbers and odd numbers? |
| 254 | Socrates: Now, boy, do you remember me, and the squares with which we worked and played the other day? |
| 254 | Socrates: So can it be a member of the ratios created by an even number divided by an odd number and then used as a root to create a square? |
| 254 | Socrates: So if we use this even number twice in multiplication, as we have on top, we have two twos times two whole numbers? |
| 254 | Socrates: So the number on the bottom is two times that whole number, whatever it is? |
| 254 | Socrates: So we can eliminate one of our four groups, the one where even was divided by even, and now we have odd/ odd, odd/ even and even/ odd? |
| 254 | Socrates: So you agree that this is correct? |
| 254 | Socrates: So you have, my boy, has he not Meno? |
| 254 | Socrates: So, in our ratio we want to square to get two, the top number can not be odd, can it? |
| 254 | Socrates: So, indeed, this could be where we find a number such that when multiplied times itself yields an area of two? |
| 254 | Socrates: So, the first, or top number, is the result of an even number times itself? |
| 254 | Socrates: Then is can not be a member of the group which has an odd number on the bottom, can it? |
| 254 | Socrates: Then you know what odd and even are, boy? |
| 254 | Socrates: They are not lacking so much that they can not be improved, are they boy? |
| 254 | Socrates: To Meno, surely he is a fine boy, eh Meno? |
| 254 | Socrates: Very good, and have your teachers ever called these numbers ratios? |
| 254 | Socrates: Well, how long did it take the Pythagoreans? |
| 254 | Socrates: What do you say, Meno? |
| 254 | Socrates: What happens when you multiply an even number by an even number, what kind of number do you get, even or odd? |
| 254 | Socrates: Would you have me continue, Meno? |
| 254 | Socrates: Yes boy, can you do that? |
| 254 | Socrates: Yes, but is it not true that we stumble and fall over the obstacles which we make for ourselves to trip over? |
| 254 | Socrates:( Turning to Meno) So now he is as far as most of us get in determining the magnitude of the square root of two? |
| 254 | Socrates:( back to the boy) And what have you learned about ratios of even numbers, boy? |
| 254 | Socrates:( nudges Meno) and therefore the top number is four times some whole number times that whole number again? |
| 254 | Socrates:( standing) And if it is two times a whole number, then it must be an even number, must it not? |
| 254 | Socrates:( taking the boy aside) What would you like the most in the whole world, boy? |
| 254 | They give us 1,4,9 and 16 as square areas, did they not? |
| 254 | We have divided the rational numbers into four groups, odd/ even, even/ odd, even/ even, odd/ odd? |
| 254 | What are they? |
| 254 | What can we say about such a number? |
| 254 | Would that be fun to try? |
| 254 | Would you like that? |
| 254 | You know multiplication, boy? |

| 37681 | A pupil has a number of school years at his disposal; to what shall they be devoted? |
| 37681 | And as to the exercises, what is the basis of selection? |
| 37681 | And finally, upon this point, shall the demonstrations be omitted entirely, leaving only the list of propositions,--in other words, a pure syllabus? |
| 37681 | And if none, then how can the pupil''s time be better expended than in the study of this science? |
| 37681 | And in any case, will the various distinct types of high schools now arising call for distinct types of geometry? |
| 37681 | And when we multiply a ratio by[ sqrt]5, what is the meaning of this operation? |
| 37681 | And why do we allow pupils to waste their time in physical education? |
| 37681 | And why do we study music? |
| 37681 | Are these results really secured by teachers, however, or are they merely imagined by the pedagogue as a justification for his existence? |
| 37681 | But does it do so? |
| 37681 | But how do we know that they intersect? |
| 37681 | But if_ AP_=_ PX_, what must[ L]_PXA_ equal? |
| 37681 | But is this not mere conjecture? |
| 37681 | But suppose_ b_ and_ d_ are cubes, of which, indeed, we do not even know the approximate numerical measure; what shall we do? |
| 37681 | But what do we mean by the quotient, say of[ sqrt]2 by[ sqrt]3? |
| 37681 | But what does this mean? |
| 37681 | Do teachers have any such appreciation of geometry as has been suggested, and even if they have it, do they impart it to their pupils? |
| 37681 | Does this present cry of the pedagogical circle really mean that we are no longer to have geometry for geometry''s sake? |
| 37681 | For example, how many diagonals must be drawn in order to make a quadrilateral rigid? |
| 37681 | For example, what is the shortest line between any given edge of the ceiling and the various edges of the floor of the schoolroom? |
| 37681 | How many planes are in general determined by_ n_ points in space? |

| 37681 | If it is the number that shows how many times one number is contained in another, how many_ times_ is[ sqrt]3 contained in[ sqrt]2? |
| 37681 | If not, where would you put in the fifth rod to make it rigid? |
| 37681 | If the area of one square is twenty- five times the area of another square, the side of the first is how many times as long as the side of the second? |
| 37681 | If the side of one equilateral triangle is three times as long as that of another, how do the perimeters compare? |
| 37681 | If to multiply is to take a number a certain number of times, how many times do we take it when we multiply by[ sqrt]5? |
| 37681 | If two galleries in a mine are to be connected by an air shaft, how shall it be planned so as to save labor? |
| 37681 | If two people on different meridians travel due north, do they travel in the same direction? |
| 37681 | If we say that[ sqrt]2:[ sqrt]3 means a quotient, what meaning shall we assign to"quotient"? |
| 37681 | Is it for the purpose of making authors? |
| 37681 | Is it not, after all, a mere fetish, and are not those virulent writers correct who see nothing good in the subject save only its utilities? |
| 37681 | Is the figure rigid? |
| 37681 | Is the figure rigid? |
| 37681 | Is this true? |
| 37681 | It is well to ask a few questions like the following: If one square is twice as high as another, how do the areas compare? |
| 37681 | On the other hand, suppose_ V_ recedes indefinitely; then the sum approaches what limit? |
| 37681 | Or is it now, by proper teaching, as suitable for all pupils as is any other required subject in the school curriculum? |
| 37681 | Or shall there be some combination of these plans? |
| 37681 | Shall geometry be made a strong elective subject, to be taken only by those whose minds are capable of serious work? |
| 37681 | Shall geometry continue to be taught as an application of logic, or shall it be treated solely with reference to its applications? |
| 37681 | Shall it be a mere dabbling with forms that are seen in mechanics or architecture, with no serious logical sequence? |
| 37681 | Shall it be a required subject, diluted to the comprehension of the weakest minds? |
| 37681 | Shall it be an entirely new style of geometry based upon groups of motions? |
| 37681 | Shall it be the text or the sequence of Euclid? |
| 37681 | Shall the proofs be omitted entirely? |
| 37681 | Shall they appear in full? |
| 37681 | Shall they be merely suggested demonstrations? |
| 37681 | Shall they be only a series of questions that lead to the proof? |
| 37681 | Similarly, what about[ L]_QBX_ and[ L]_XBA_? |
| 37681 | Strictly speaking, why may it not cut it in only one point, or even in three points? |
| 37681 | Suppose the polyhedral angle were concave, why would the proof not hold? |
| 37681 | That geometry is to exist merely as it touches industry, or that bad architecture is to replace the good? |

| 37681 | The spirit of the question,"What is true?" |
| 37681 | The sum of the angles about_ V_ approaches what limit? |
| 37681 | Then how shall_ PQ_ be drawn? |
| 37681 | Then what are the two limits of this sum? |
| 37681 | Then why must[ L]_BAX_=[ L]_XAP_? |
| 37681 | There are many questions which such an attempt suggests: What is the real purpose of the movement? |
| 37681 | To give pleasure by our performances? |
| 37681 | To literature? |
| 37681 | To music, or natural science, or language? |
| 37681 | We certainly take it more than 2 times and less than 3 times, but what meaning can we assign to[ sqrt]5 times? |

| 37681 | What may we do to[ Ls]_ A_ and_ B_ in order to fix_ X_? |
| 37681 | What shall then be said of those books that merely suggest the proofs, or that give a series of questions that lead to the demonstrations? |
| 37681 | What should be the basis of selection of propositions and exercises? |
| 37681 | What subject, in fine, can supply exactly what geometry does? |
| 37681 | What teacher or school would be content to follow any one of these syllabi exactly? |
| 37681 | What textbook writer would feel it safe to limit his regular propositions to those in any one syllabus? |
| 37681 | What will the teaching world say of the result? |
| 37681 | What, now, are the axioms and postulates that we are justified in assuming, and what determines their number and character? |
| 37681 | What, now, has been the effect of all these efforts? |
| 37681 | What, then, is the conclusion? |
| 37681 | What, then, shall the propositions of geometry be, and in what manner shall they answer to the challenge of the industrial epoch in which we live? |
| 37681 | Which, then, is better,--to give up the latter portion of geometry, or part of it at least, or to give up trigonometry? |
| 37681 | Who would know what a straight line is, from this definition, if he did not know in advance? |
| 37681 | Why do we need another proof here? |
| 37681 | Why, for example, do we study literature? |

| 201 | What,said I,"does the puny creature mean by''it''?" |
| 201 | --What name, I say? |
| 201 | Always threefold?" |
| 201 | Am I going too fast to carry my Readers with me to these obvious conclusions? |
| 201 | And a straight Line has how many extremities? |
| 201 | And has this Creature sides, as well as angles or what you call"terminal Points"? |
| 201 | And have you no means of checking frauds of this kind by commanding your neighbouring subjects to feel one another?" |
| 201 | And how many sides has a Square? |
| 201 | And if not, how is he to be prevented from carrying desolation into the ranks of his comrades? |
| 201 | And once there, shall we stay our upward course? |
| 201 | And what do you mean? |
| 201 | And what is the next number? |
| 201 | And what mean you by saying that I am no longer the Perfection of all Beauty? |
| 201 | And, as a crowning proof, what do you say to my giving you a touch, just the least touch, in your stomach? |
| 201 | Are the houses and doors and churches in Flatland to be altered in order to accommodate such monsters? |
| 201 | Are you convinced now? |
| 201 | Are you not convinced by what I have told you of your children and household? |
| 201 | Are you not introduced to me yet? |
| 201 | At this point I think I hear some of my better educated readers exclaim,"How could you in Flatland know anything about angles and degrees, or minutes? |
| 201 | Behold once more the confirming Series, 2, 4, 6: is not this an Arithmetical Progression? |
| 201 | Behold the infallible confirmation of the Series, 2, 4, 8, 16: is not this a Geometrical Progression? |
| 201 | But am I to suppose that your Lordship gives to brightness the title of a Dimension, and that what we call"bright"you call"high"? |
| 201 | But if I could not convince my Grandson, how could I convince the highest and most developed Circles in the land? |
| 201 | But thou, whence intrudest thou into my realm of Lineland?" |
| 201 | But what was his reply? |
| 201 | But where is this land of Four Dimensions? |
| 201 | Can anything be more irrational or audacious? |
| 201 | Can it be that I have so misbehaved to a perfect Circle?" |
| 201 | Do you know that building? |
| 201 | Do you mean out of the world? |
| 201 | For from the depths of nowhere came forth a hollow voice-- close to my heart it seemed--"Am I quite gone? |
| 201 | For how could you see the Line, that is to say the inside, of any Man? |
| 201 | For why should the thirst for knowledge be aroused, only to be disappointed and punished? |
| 201 | From Space, from Space, Sir: whence else? |
| 201 | Have you felt me enough by this time? |
| 201 | How can a man''s inside"front"in any direction? |
| 201 | How can you ask? |
| 201 | How could I meet his challenge? |
| 201 | How could a thing move Upward, and not Northward? |
| 201 | How many angles? |
| 201 | How shall I convince him? |
| 201 | How shall I make it clear? |
| 201 | How then can one be distinguished from another, where all appear the same? |
| 201 | In One Dimension, did not a moving Point produce a Line with TWO terminal points? |
| 201 | In Three Dimensions, did not a moving Square produce-- did not this eye of mine behold it-- that blessed Being, a Cube, with EIGHT terminal points? |
| 201 | In Two Dimensions, did not a moving Line produce a Square with FOUR terminal points? |
| 201 | In that blessed region of Four Dimensions, shall we linger on the threshold of the Fifth, and not enter therein? |
| 201 | Is an Irregular to be exempted from the militia? |
| 201 | Is it come to this?" |
| 201 | Is it possible that in Lineland proximity is not necessary for marriage and for the generation of children?" |
| 201 | Is not this correct?" |
| 201 | Is not this-- if I might quote my Lord''s own words--"strictly according to Analogy"? |
| 201 | It was in old days, with our learned men, an interesting and oft- investigated question,"What is the origin of light?" |
| 201 | May not such deceptions cause great inconvenience? |
| 201 | My what? |
| 201 | Need I say that I was at once arrested and taken before the Council? |
| 201 | Nonsense: what analogy? |
| 201 | Northward? |
| 201 | Now are you convinced? |
| 201 | Now in the case of( 1) the Merchant, what shall I see? |
| 201 | Or again, why blame a lying, thievish Isosceles when you ought rather to deplore the incurable inequality of his sides? |
| 201 | Or can he have forgotten what he himself imparted to his servant? |
| 201 | Or how can a man move in the direction of his inside? |
| 201 | Out of Space? |
| 201 | Out of my Line? |
| 201 | Pardon me, my Lord, but is not your Lordship already in Space, your Lordship and his humble servant, even at this moment? |
| 201 | Say they so? |
| 201 | So I began thus:"How does your Royal Highness distinguish the shapes and positions of his subjects? |
| 201 | Surely you must recognize this? |
| 201 | Tell me, Mr. Mathematician; if a Point moves Northward, and leaves a luminous wake, what name would you give to the wake? |
| 201 | Then I came here, and how do you think I came? |
| 201 | Then how does it make you more divine? |
| 201 | Then is omnividence the attribute of others besides Gods? |
| 201 | There was something of scorn in the voice of my Teacher as he made answer:"Is it so indeed? |
| 201 | They are, we will suppose, a Merchant and a Physician, or in other words, an Equilateral Triangle and a Pentagon: how am I to distinguish them? |
| 201 | This omnividence, as you call it-- it is not a common word in Spaceland-- does it make you more just, more merciful, less selfish, more loving? |
| 201 | What could I do? |
| 201 | What is the next number? |
| 201 | What must I do? |
| 201 | What name will you give to the Figure thereby formed? |
| 201 | What say you?" |
| 201 | What would you say to such a visitor? |
| 201 | What? |
| 201 | When you see a Straight Line-- your wife, for example-- how many Dimensions do you attribute to her? |
| 201 | Whence this ill- timed impertinent request? |
| 201 | Whether I could indicate the direction which I meant when I used the words"Upward, not Northward"? |
| 201 | Why waste more words? |
| 201 | Why will you refuse to listen to reason? |
| 201 | Would not you have him locked up? |
| 201 | Would you have me turn my stomach inside out to oblige you? |
| 201 | Would you ignore the very Alphabet of Nature?" |
| 201 | Would your Lordship indicate or explain to me in what direction is the Third Dimension, unknown to me? |
| 201 | You see it all now, eh? |
| 201 | [ Note:"What need of a certificate?" |
| 201 | a Spaceland critic may ask:"Is not the procreation of a Square Son a certificate from Nature herself, proving the Equal- sidedness of the Father?" |
| 201 | said my Wife,"there is no draught; what are you looking for? |
| 201 | the Bass and Tenor of the Man and the Soprano and Contralto of the two Women?" |
| 201 | what do you know of Space? |
| 97 | But supposing,said I,"that a man should prefer one wife or three?" |
| 97 | Can you not startle the little thing out of its complacency? |
| 97 | Does this still seem strange to you? 97 How can you ask so absurd a question?" |
| 97 | How comes this person here? |
| 97 | How else could the balance of the Sexes be maintained, if two girls were not born for every boy? 97 Must one wife then always have twins?" |
| 97 | Nature having herself ordained that every Man should we d two wives--"Why two? |
| 97 | Nor are they any,said I;"but what makes you think that the stranger is a Woman? |

| 97 | what do you know of Space? |
| 29042 | A friend of mine has a flower- garden-- a very pretty one, though no great size--"How big is it? |
| 29042 | And on the dead level our pace is----? |
| 29042 | And the one we are bound for? |
| 29042 | And what made you choose the first train, Goosey? |
| 29042 | And which wins the match? |
| 29042 | Any one, that has_ three_ eyes, may be said to have_ two_ eyes, I suppose? |
| 29042 | Are not the tablets of your memory wide enough to contain the record of one single luncheon? |
| 29042 | But how did you work it with the Metropolitan trains? 29042 But suppose we marked the same number?" |
| 29042 | But there are cabbages? |
| 29042 | Could n''t you count better than_ that_? |
| 29042 | Did n''t Balbus say this morning that, if a body is immersed in liquid, it displaces as much liquid as is equal to its own bulk? |
| 29042 | Did you notice that very old one, with a red face, who was drawing a map in the dust with his wooden leg, and all the others watching? 29042 Do they often eat distinguished strangers here?" |
| 29042 | Does it always succeed? |
| 29042 | Does she call ten nearer to ten than nine is? |

| 29042 | My child? |
| 29042 | Of course she would only go_ once_ round? |
| 29042 | Or may I count the three- cross pictures among the two- cross pictures? |

| 29042 | But_ was_ it? |

| 29042 | How are we to play?" |
| 29042 | How can I possibly write anything in the midst of all this jolting?" |

| 29042 | How did they do it? |
| 29042 | How many did each meet?" |
| 29042 | How many trains did each meet on the way, not counting trains met at the terminus itself?" |
| 29042 | How many?" |
| 29042 | How much of it could be covered 4 inches deep with the same material?" |
