Abstract
The aims of this chapter are to introduce.
Taking Three as the subject to reason about — A convenient number to state — We add Seven, and Ten, and then multiply out By One Thousand diminished by Eight. The result we proceed to divide, as you see, By Nine Hundred and Ninety and Two: then subtract Seventeen, and the answer must be Exactly and perfectly true.
