Page 82 - Multiply the whole augmented divisor by this last quotient figure, and subtract the product from the said dividend, bringing down to the next period of the given number, for a new dividend. Repeat the same process over again — viz. find another new divisor, by doubling all the figures now...
Page 173 - A sector, is any part of a circle bounded by an arc, and two radii, drawn to its extremities. A quadrant, or quarter of a circle, is a sector having a quarter part of the circumference for its arc, and the two radii perpendicular to each other.
Page 5 - Divide the less number by the remainder, the last divisor by the last remainder, and so on, till nothing remains. The last divisor will be the greatest common divisor sought.

Page 164 - An Axiom is a self-evident truth, not only too simple to require, but too simple to admit of demonstration. A Proposition is something which is either proposed to be done, or to be demonstrated, and is either a problem or a theorem. A Problem is something proposed to be done. A Theorem is something proposed to be demon'strated. A...
