Therefore, the materials in this section can be fully used by Here, this postulate was treated with suspicion, because
students studying the basics of geometry. people experienced the correctness of other Euclid's
postulates on a daily basis in practice.
The second part of mathematics of the book "The Book of
Knowledge" is devoted to arithmetic and consists of seven
sections. The first section describes the types and general
properties of numbers. Here are given the divisions of
numbers into even and odd numbers and their properties.
The second section deals with even numbers. It describes
about even-even numbers, about even-odd and about the
properties of these numbers. The third section talks about
odd numbers and the fact that they come in three forms, as
well as their properties. They are composed of prime,
compound and reciprocal prime numbers. The fourth section
talks about "imperfect" and "perfect" numbers. It describes
the characteristics of division and the properties of numbers
