Arithmetic and geometry were my favourite branches.
After leaving the High School, Alexander Nasmyth was taught by his father, first arithmetic and mensuration, next geometry and mathematics, so far as the first three books of Euclid were concerned.
The class of Geometry and Mathematics was equally well conducted, though the attendance was not so great.
The light makes the bare wood of the fixture appear incandescent, defining its geometry in rose colour with the most beautiful effect.
Now this coincides remarkably with the idea implicit in all higher-space speculation, that the figures of solid geometry are projections on a space of three dimensions, of corresponding four-dimensional forms.
The artist should take this hint, and organize geometry into a new ornamental mode; by so doing he will prove himself to be in relation to the anima mundi.
It is a wonder, a mystery, staggering to the imagination, contradictory to experience, but as well entitled to a place at the high court of reason as are any of the more familiar figures with which geometry deals.
There is an altogether modern development of the science of mathematics: the geometry of four dimensions.
And because the more remote these are from the things of sense, from knowledge and experience, the projected figures of four-dimensional geometry would lend themselves to these uses with an especial grace.
The fact that first forces itself upon the beholder is that the thing is so obviously mathematical in its rhythms, that to reduce it to terms of geometry and number is a matter of small difficulty.
Four-dimensional geometry yields numberless other patterns whose beauty and interest could not possibly be impeached--patterns beyond the compass of the cleverest designer unacquainted with projective geometry.
Lesbia sketched her picture during geometry on the back page of her exercise book, but it was a scratchy performance and quite unworthy of her high ideals.

You cannot write a text-book of geometry without reference to a hypotenuse and triangles and a rectangular parallelopiped.
After Gerbert's time some geometry proper and the elements of land surveying were introduced.
Geometry and drawing were introduced as new studies.
A little geometry and astronomy were also included, for their practical applications.
The real study of geometry in Europe, however, dates from the twelfth century, when Euclid was translated into Latin from the Arabic.
I hope you frequent La Foire St. Laurent, which I see is now open; you will improve more by going there with your mistress, than by staying at home and reading Euclid with your geometry master.
The Legrandian Equations will lead to a geometry as revolutionary as Riemann's was in his day.
He will speculate long and noisily on the geometry which potentially lies in this mathematical system.
A man does not tie his shoe without recognizing laws which bind the farthest regions of nature: moon, plant, gas, crystal, are concretegeometry and numbers.
We may climb into the thin and cold realm of pure geometry and lifeless science, or sink into that of sensation.
Precious minutes were speeding by; she would not have her Geometry lesson.
Geometry lesson; the ugly tan walls, the sober array of national patriots hanging above the encircling blackboard, the sea of heads restlessly swaying over receding rows of desks, all faded hazily away.
At the end of the term prominence brought its reward: Missy failed in Geometry and was conditioned in Latin.
In arithmetic and geometry we study positivity at its source; in the sociological spirit it finds its completion.
We certainly anticipate, from the known character of the minds now engaged in this work, that some conclusive evidence as to the state of geometry anterior to the time of Euclid will be elicited by Messrs.
We are glad to find that the most mysterious and mystified portion of the Greek Geometry is likely to receive at last a complete elucidation--we mean the "Porisms.
The manuscripts of the geometry of Boetius differ widely from each other.
I felt that no proposition in geometry was more capable of proof.
However, the first thing I learned in Geometry was that an axiom was too self-evident to be capable of proof.
At the same time, by superseding the geometry of the ancients, he aided in weakening that inordinate respect with which antiquity was then regarded.
The most important steps he took are those concerning the geometry of infinites, applied to the ordinates and tangents of curves; which, however, he completed in or before 1636.
In geometry we learned to angles, in biology to cats.
Geometry is said to have had its origin in Egypt; but it assumed its abstract and speculative character first among the Greeks.
The processes involved inGeometry are akin to those employed in Logical reasoning, and must necessarily train the mind in this special direction.
As Brooks says: "So valuable is geometry as a discipline that many lawyers and others review their geometry every year in order to keep the mind drilled to logical habits of thinking.
Algebra and Geometry have long been known to exercise an influence over the mind which gives to it a logical trend and cast.
Geometry and Logic will give the very best exercise along these lines to those who care to devote the time, attention and work to the task.
Arithmetic, algebra, andgeometry are never wholly separated from each other.
In this way parts of algebra and geometry become valuable contributing preliminaries to higher arithmetical operations.
Work in analytical geometry and higher arithmetical series is taken only by those in the real course of instruction.
Geometry looked less formidable to Jerry, Cicero was like a beautiful old friend, Gyp was with her in English and history, Ginny Cox was in one of her classes, too, and Jerry liked her better each day.
But Miss Lee took Jerry to her classrooms; she introduced her to Miss Briggs, the geometry teacher, then to Miss Gray of the English department, and on to the French room and to the Ancient History classroom.
And you bury geometry and Cæsar forever and try to forget them and then first thing you're thinking about what you're going to take next year and whom you'll get and what new girls will come and what sort of a team we'll have!
In the Platonic city, both arithmetic and geometry will be taught, so far as to guard the youth against absurd blunders about measurement, and against confusion of incommensurable lines and spaces with commensurable.
Side-note: Rudiments of arithmetic andgeometry to be taught.
Some persons extol Geometry chiefly on the ground of its usefulness in applications to practice.
Next, geometry also must be studied, so as to compare numbers with plane and solid figures, and thus to determine proportions between two numbers which are not directly commensurable.
Perplexity arising from the One and Many, stimulates the mind to an intellectual effort for clearing it up 72 Geometry conducts the mind to wards Universal Ens ib.
This theology is of Pythagorean character--implicated directly and intimately with astronomy--and indirectly with arithmetic and geometry also.
They are annexed as a note to the valuable chapters of his work on Demonstration and Necessary Truths, in which he shows that the truth so-called, both in Geometry and Arithmetic, rest upon inductive evidence.
Geometry will tell us of a circle, a thing never seen in nature; asked about a green circle or an iron circle, it lays its hand upon its mouth.
A proposition of geometry does not compete with life; and a proposition of geometry is a fair and luminous parallel for a work of art.
I thought that even cattle might understandgeometry could they only be communicated with and made to pay attention to it.
It is rather odd that pure geometry has its full share of paradoxers.
The oddest feature of the doctrine is that Koresh professes to have proved it by a method which, so far as the geometry of it goes, is more rigorous than any other that science has ever applied.
I had never yet fathomed the mysteries of analytic geometry or the calculus, and so got Davies' books on those subjects.
In geometry a single line cannot represent a perfect figure; neither can two lines; three lines, however, constitute the triangle or first perfect and demonstrable figure.
According to a trinitarian opponent, they were much given to science, in particular to geometry and medicine.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "geometry" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
