29 Pierre Simon de Laplace ( ) It is from the Indians that there has come to us the ingenious method of expressing all numbers, in ten characters, by giving them, at the same time, an absolute and a place value; an idea fine and important, which appears indeed so simple, that for this very reason we do not sufficiently recognize its merit. But this very simplicity, and the extreme facility which this method imparts to all calculation, place our system of arithmetic in the first rank of the useful inventions. How difficult it was to invent such a method one can infer from the fact that it escaped the genius of Archimedes and of Apollonius of Perga, two of the greatest men of antiquity.

72 Also called scratch method in England. Originated in India. Popularized in Europe by Luca Pacioli in Summa (1494). Of the four methods of division Pacioli presented, he considered this method the swiftest just as the galley is the swiftest ship.

90 Heron It is in Metrica, in the course of finding the area of a triangle using what we now call Heron s formula, area = s(s a)(s b)(s c), that Heron gave a method for approximating the square root of a nonsquare number as well as we please.
91 In Metrica Heron writes, Since 720 has not its side rational, we can obtain its side within a very small difference as follows. Since the next succeeding square number is 729, which has 27 for its side, divide 720 by 27. This gives 26⅔. Add 27 to this, making 53⅔, and take half of this or 26½¹ ₃. The side of 720 will therefore be very nearly 26½¹ ₃. In fact, if we multiply 26½¹ ₃ by itself, the product is 720¹ ₃₆, so that the difference (in the square) is ¹ ₃₆. If we desire to make the difference still smaller than ¹ ₃₆, we shall take 720¹ ₃₆ instead of 729 [or rather we should take 26½¹ ₃ instead of 27], and by proceeding in the same way we shall find that the resulting difference is much less than ¹ ₃₆.

Heron s method amounts to the iteration formula A αn = 1 α n A α n 1, where α 0 is the next square number succeeding A.

96 Nicolas Chuquet French physician (d. 1487) by profession. Wrote but never published Triparty en la science des nombres (Science of Numbers in Three Parts), credited as the earliest work on algebra of the Rennaisance. In Triparty he coined the terms billion for million million (10 12 ) and trillion for million million million (10 18 ), used in England and Germany, but not in France or the U.S. Generalized al-khwarizmi s methods for solving quadratic equations to solving equations of any degree that are of quadratic type. Noted in Triparty that [to] find a number between two fractions, add numerator to numerator and denominator to denominator. This is the key to his method for finding square roots.
