531. 3/7ths of a liberal education is mathematics

Edited on Mon Dec-27-10 06:22 PM by Recursion

IIRC, a classic liberal education consists of grammar, rhetoric, logic, arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy. In the ancient times they considered music a mathematical field, which we largely don't anymore, but we now consider logic a mathematical field so it evens out.
