This is the course description for Mathematics and Logic:
Today more than ever we need logic and sound reasoning in defense of truth. And one of the best ways to develop these skills is through the study of Euclidean Geometry.
For more than 2,300 years, Euclid’s Elements has provided the foundation for countless students to learn how to reason with precision and pursue knowledge in all fields of learning. This classic text of Western civilization provides profound tools to distinguish truth from error by means of self-evident principles.
In this course, you will study the transformation of mathematics by the ancient Greeks, discover the fundamentals of logic and deductive reasoning, examine the central proofs of Euclid, learn about the birth of modern geometry, and much more.
The fact that we weren’tever taught math from Euclid’s Elements genuinely pisses me off.
Good enough for 2,300 years of amazing architecture and development, and much deeper understandings of structure and harmonics, but some muttonhead at Harcourt Brace or [Robert] Maxwell Publishing subsidiary MacMillan knows how to do it better now.
Every MI5-authored American textbook needs to be airdumped square into the middle of the Buckingham Palace courtyard.
