Popular passages
Page 90 - 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 181 - 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 13 - 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 313 - Tht-rvfore, shot which are of different weights, and impelled by the firing of different charges of powder, acquire velocities which are directly as the square roots of the charges of powder, and inversely as the square roots of the weights of the shot.
Page 198 - Find two numbers whose product is equal to the difference of their squares, and the sum of their squares equal to the difference of their cubes.

Page 90 - Divide the given number into periods of two figures each, by setting a point over the place of units, another over the place of hundreds, and so on over every second figure, both to the left hand in integers, and to the right hand in decimals.
Page 172 - 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...
