The mere habit of working invariably to a useless precision, while it can never advance the computer's knowledge of the subject, has the unfavourable tendency of deceiving those who are not aware of the true nature...
Σελίδα 147 - For the same body the semidiameter varies with the distance; thus, the difference of the sun's semidiameter at different times of the year is due to the change of the earth's distance from the sun; and similarly for the moon and the planets.
Σελίδα 22 - A CIRCLE is a figure bounded by a curve line called the circumference,* of which every point is at the same distance from a point within, called the centre. Thus, ABD is a circle, and C the centre.
