Multiplication

Index Entry

Multiplication:

"... A Latin,

Living in Carthage in North Africa,

wrote the first treatise explaining what the cipher

made possible:

Multiplication,

Which with Roman numerals,

Had been impossible.

Consequently, few significant calculations had ever

been made.

No matter how intuitively

A man might have felt about the science of falling

bodies,

He could never arrive at any valid conclusions

without multiplication."
