The Elements of a New Arithmetical Notation (Classic Reprint): And of a New Arithmetic of Infinites

by Thomas Taylor

Excerpt from The Elements of a New Arithmetical Notation

Ir novelty alone were sufficient to entitle a work to applause, of whatever description it may be, the following pages would not, perhaps, rank among those productions that merit only a small degree of praise; but as novelty in mathematics, unaccompanied by truth, is per fectly nugatory, and resembles a tale told by an idiot, signifying nothing, the author of this elementary treatise trusts that his theory will be found to be no less true than novel, and no less rigidly accurate in its demonstrations than important in its results.
