All Science Requires Mathematics.

One Man Alone Had Really Known The Sciences, Namely, Robert, Bishop Of Lincoln.

Neglect Of Mathematics Work Injury To All Knowledge, Since He Who Is Ignorant Of It Cannot Know The Other Sciences Or Things Of This World. And What Is Worst, Those Who Are Thus Ignorant Are Unable To Perceive Their Own Ignorance, And So Do Not Seek A Remedy.

For If Any Man Who Never Saw Fire Proved By Satisfactory Arguments That Fire Burns. His Hearer's Mind Would Never Be Satisfied, Nor Would He Avoid The Fire Until He Put His Hand In It That He Might Learn By Experiment What Argument Taught.

As Regards Authority I So Proceed. Boetius Says In The Second Prologue To His Arithmetic, 'if An Inquirer Lacks The Four Parts Of Mathematics, He Has Very Little Ability To Discover Truth.' And Again, 'without This Theory No One Can Have A Correct Insight Into Truth.' And He Says Also, 'i Warn The Man Who Spurns These Paths Of Knowledge That He Cannot Philosophize Correctly.' And Again, 'it Is Clear That Whosoever Passes These By, Has Lost The Knowledge Of All Learning.'

The Calendar Is Intolerable To All Wisdom, The Horror Of All Astronomy, And A Laughing Stock From A Mathematician's Point Of View.
