Our intention in this Disme is to worke all by whole numbers: for seing that in any affayres, men reckon not of the thousandth part of a mite, grayne, &c. as the like is also used of the principall Geometricians, and Astronomers, in computacions of great consequence, as Ptolome & Johannes Monta-regio have not described their Tables of Arches, Chords, or Sines, in extreme perfection as possibly they might have done by Multinomiall numbers, because that imperfection considering the scope and end of those Tables is more convenient then such perfection. — Simon Stevin art
