Linas wrote in the article:
- The first encyclopedia entry on modular arithmetic was written by Euclid, in Book 7 of Euclid's Elements.
Now, was it encyclopedia what Euclid wrote? The Euclid's Elements page says it was a mathematical treatise, aka, an Abramowitz and Stegun before its time. Oleg Alexandrov 22:11, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)
