In the first place, the predominant position among the mathematical sciences which Isidore claims for arithmetic was one acquired by it comparatively late. Owing perhaps to the awkwardness of the Greek notation of number' geometry had been developed first, and historically arithmetic was an off-shoot from geometry and borrowed its terminology largely from it.2 It was not given an independent form until the time of Nicomachus (fl. ioo A. D.) whose Introductio Arithmetica was "the first exhaustive work in which arithmetic was treated quite independently of geometry." * Once it become independent, arithmetic, instead of geometry, came to be regarded as the fundamental mathemetical science.
