Abraham Lincoln:
Euclid's first common notion is this: Things which are equal to the same things are equal to each other. That's a rule of mathematical reasoning and its true because it works - has done and always will do. In his book Euclid says this is self evident. You see there it is even in that 2000 year old book of mechanical law it is the self evident truth that Things which are equal to the same things are equal to each other

Euclid's first common notion is this
00:00:04.421 --> 00:00:06.714
Things which are equal to the same thing
00:00:06.798 --> 00:00:09.675
are equal to each other
00:00:11.344 --> 00:00:13.679
That's a rule of mathematical reasoning
00:00:13.805 --> 00:00:16.001
It's true because it works
00:00:16.141 --> 00:00:18.308
Has done and always will do
00:00:20.603 --> 00:00:23.105
In his book
00:00:24.149 --> 00:00:26.065
Euclid says this is self evident
00:00:27.061 --> 00:00:28.569
You see There it is
00:00:28.653 --> 00:00:31.321
even in that 2 000 year old book
00:00:31.448 --> 00:00:32.099
of mechanical law
00:00:33.116 --> 00:00:35.001
It is a self evident truth
00:00:35.016 --> 00:00:38.203
that things which are equal to the same thing
00:00:38.329 --> 00:00:40.539
are equal to each other
