There is not a . mathematician who does not know that if Einstein had confined him- self to Euclidian geometry, the epoch-making discovery of relativ- itl! would never have been accom- Yet Euclid is a vaiuaibl study cf which our children must know something. The language of ebra is more exact than our Engl h language. It is more exact because it deals with realities rather than, as is often the case in our language, with figments of the imagination. Besides. it is more concise. Most people today cannot read or write mathematical language, yet, the modern world depends solely upon the application of the sciences about which this language deals. Without mathematics there would lshed. i All. i bB n0 5R6] bridges, sky aitapers, telephones; automobiles. radiosmor a thousand other things. ‘ Here is a translation of ordinary language into common mathemati- cal terms: Ordinary Mathematical language The length is multiplied by the b dth .... the . A With the a1 language there is a considergafle saving of in . objects nor referents in the out-' side world are included, and be- fore mathematical language can mean anything it must represent some action or relation. Ii‘ you have a room 10 feet long and 8 feet wide, the 1 (10 feet) x b (8 feet) will equal A or agea which is 80 square feet. But you cannot work the formula by multiplying the length in feet by the breadth in yards or inches. You must be careful to deal in similar units for if you should neglect this all im- portant matter, ou will bring forth mathematic monsters and qualify yourself as a statistician for ltlcal economists and other knowing members of society. Mathematical symbols do not lie, cannot ile. when uniform realities are attached to them, but to take them by themselves and to say,for. zristanoe. thatZ and 2 is or are 4.1a .0 say nonsense. You cannot add l and 2 without having attached to those figures some definite sig- nificance and that significance must b_e in conformity with what is called the “rule of quantitative similarity". Yet,‘ there are those who, like the Ancient Mariner, will hold you with a glittering eye ond dare you to get round the fact ‘that 2 and 2 make 4. Our own bootleggers who, as a class, have not gone in for any strenuous ac- ademic training, got round it ev- ery day by taking two quarts of proof rum and adding two quarts of water. If you think the result of the addition is 4 quarts oi proof rum, lust ask the man who has bought a quart of the mixture. 2 and. 2 make 4? Probably. 2 and 2 what? When? Where? We are indebted to a man nam- ras for some of our mathematics. Living more than a hundred years before Euclid, he has the honour of having furnish- ed us with our concept of “pi-poi." He stressed the point that all as- sumptions and postulates must be set down clearly and that no out- side matter should be introduced; that with the postulates and as- sumptions as a basis, the proof should be furnished by pure reas- oning alone. Apparently. he could not stand the strain of mental concentration and went off into that land of fantasy where the word becomes the thing and the mathematical symbols objects of power in themselves. For the 7's and 11's he had on especial fond- ness. and in moments of ecstasy would allpostrophize them: “Bless us divine umber, thou who generat- est both gods and men." To Pythagoras and his converts,| the number 1 stood for reason. 2 for opinion, 3 for potency, 4 for justice, 5 for marriage. In 5 also was. the secret of color; in 6, that| of cold: in ‘l, that of_ health; in B, Love? Certainly: make 8. inge , ' f an lngenuous, b gar. of us has known someone} afraid of the number thirteen. There is, too, the seventh son of a seventh son. the Seven Candic- sticks, the Seven Deadly Sins, and the seven planets. At least, there was that magic assemblage of sounds. the Seven Planets. until Cages-planet number il-was found. It is said that Hegel-who was a great, favourite of Lenin- wrote the astronomers before the discovery and remonstrated with them in their efforts to find the eighth planet. Philosophy, he said. had decided seven u the only pos- sible number of planets in the universe. Why strain their eyes looking for something which could not east? The Greeks had no mathematics except Euclidb geomet y which, dealing merely with surfaces, had no provisions for considering mo- "tion orwclocl -though this ls simply nu own opinion-that their lack of mathe- matical knowledge explains, at least partly. their great rest for philoso- phy. yct the philosophers have nevver contributed one single fact tc the knowledge of this world in which we live.

By and bye. the little piece of wood will have bc- come so small as to be impercept- iblc to the naked eye but always that infinitesimal length will re- main. The students pucker their brows and ponder on the great mystery while the professors smile their weary, omniscient smiles. Finally, they take pity on the stu- dents before them and say: “You see the problem is unsolvabie for by division you cannot reach the end infinity." Probably not,l though, personally, since I have no t referent for the word ‘infinity’ have not the slightest idea of its meaning. But, a moment ago, the h professors were talking oi tire lm-i possibility of coming to the end f a two-foot stick b; divsicn AN THAT PROBLEM IS NOT UN- SOLVABLE. For, when we, aided by mathematics and physics, come to that point, one million or ten millions times below that speck which marks the limit cf the strongest microzcope, we reach the last atom and when that has been divided the substance has chang- ed. There is no longer any wood. The story ol Achilles and the tortoise affords n. good example oi the simericrity of simple mathe- matics over tile theorizing of thi- artclent philosophers. Those men. despite the absurdities into which their reasoning often lead them. were intellectual giants. Yet you cannot find, in any ancient rec- ord, u refutation of Zcno‘s state- ment that Achilles could notcatch the tortoise. Aristotle left it sev- erely alone for the problem re- quires mathematics derillng with rates of motion which the ancient Greeks did not possess. ' "There are two ways by which, using mathematics, we can solve it. We could use graphs in which we show by drawing a line the rate at which the tortoise moves, and another showing the rate of Achil- les. Where the lines meet, is the fateful spot at which the poor tor- toise is overtaken. It nuims no difference how fast or how slowly they travel, as long u the tortoise is given a start and Achilles runs faster. Tile angle of the meeting lines will change according to the variance in the rates oi speed but the lines will always meet. e tortoise will always be caught. This method. c-i course, cannot be dem- onstrated without a good deal of trouble on the part of the pub- lishers of this letter. But we can solve it. another way by using sim- ple algebra. Let us suppose the tortoise can run two yards a second and that Achilles can run 5 times as fast. and let us give the tortoise a start of 5 seconds. We shall let R equal the rate of the tortoise. Then. according to our assump- tion, 5R. will equal the rate of A- chilies. We shall also let X equal the number of seconds the tortoise runs. We know that both have to travel thesame distance. and that the tortoise runs flfty yards alone since he had 25 seconds of astart. Achilles, of course, has to run that 50 yards also in order to reach the point which the tortoise left when he signal was given. Now, I think, we can let algebra tell us the result of the race. R. x X equals the distance the tortoise runs. Then 5R. x (X45) equals diat- ance run by Ac les. or RX equals 5RX—125R. or-AI equals-lilo or 4X equals 125. X 31% seconds ter the tortoise starts or 62% yards down the track.
