Unclear: "osterna quatund 4."

The entire doctrine of COMPUTING is not to be distributed into more than four parts. The whole field turns upon either adding, multiplying, subtracting, or dividing. Indeed, if we consider the matter more attentively, only two parts of this discipline will be recognized. For he who computes performs one of two things: either he gathers many numbers into one number, or he leads some number down into two or more numbers. Thus, addition and multiplication appear to be one genus, while subtraction and division are another. Multiplication is the shortcut of addition, and division the shortcut of subtraction, as we shall demonstrate.
