Number

Number is the foundation for all other branches of study.

Plato said, “Numbers are the highest degree of knowledge, it is knowledge itself.” He insisted number to be the first study to embark upon as it “frees the mind from attending to actual objects and raises it to the realm of abstract principles and archetypes.”

In the “Number” section we will discuss the arithmetic, geometry and symbolism of numbers.
