“Te will be proper then Glanco, to establish by law this discipline (arithmetic),
and to persuade those who are to manage the greatest affairs of the city to apply
to computation and study it, not in @ common way, but till by intelligence itself
they arrive at the survey of the nature of numbers, not for the sake of buying
nor of selling, at merchants and shopkeepers, but both for war, and for facility in
the energies of the soul itself, and its conversion from generation (or the whole
of @ visible nature) to truth and essence, (or real being).” Plato, Repub, Bk. vii
