...and are to geometry, what the foundations are to a building. Euclid's axioms are the following : I. Things which are equal to the same are equal to one another. 2k If equals be added to equals the wholes are equal. 3. If equals be taken from equals, the remainders... | |

...But it has been shown that BC is equal to BG ; wherefore AL and BC are each of them equal to BG. And things which are equal to the same, are* equal to one another ; therefore AL is equal to BC. Wherefore from the point A a straight line AL has been drawn, equal... | |

...Proclus, had preceded him in this attempt : we give the demonstration by Apollonius of the axiom, that things which are equal to the same are equal to one another. He argues, that if A is equal to B, it occupies (may be made to occupy) the same place as B. And if... | |

Things which are equal to the same thing are also equal to one another. 2. If equals be added to equals, the wholes are equal. 3. If equals be subtracted from equals, the remainders are equal. 4. Things which coincide with one another are equal to one...
