Everything else had to be proved up to the hilt; but the teacher Euclid's work set the pattern for all that we meon by proving a case in mathematics. Euclid's general proof of Pythagoros's Theorem. who had new rule was sound when proving another- thus proved that a could use the same rule There was no need to start right at the beginning again. By arranging his proot's in order, with one rule leading to the next, he could save a lot of tiresome repetition. C.

Instead of using a number of picture-symbols for words or ideas, the Phoenicians used an alphabet made up of a few simple signs which stand for sounds. C. the their own Greeks adapted such an alphabet to very different language.
