Dear fellow American,



Asked by a reporter in 1860 how he had acquired his extraordinary
rhetorical skills, Abraham Lincoln credited his study of Euclid.



While studying law in Springfield, Lincoln explained, he became
convinced that the ability to demonstrate the truth of things was
essential to the good practice of law.



Consequently, Lincoln left his job, retired to his father’s cabin,
and did not return until he could “give any proposition in the six
books of Euclid at sight.”



By studying Euclid, we improve our ability to reason soundly—plus,
in my experience, the study of Euclid can be great fun.



That’s why Hillsdale College has produced a free online course on
the topic “MATHEMATICS AND LOGIC: FROM EUCLID TO MODERN GEOMETRY.”




Through “MATHEMATICS AND LOGIC: FROM EUCLID TO MODERN GEOMETRY,”
you will learn the importance of deductive reasoning as a foundation
for pursuing knowledge in all fields of learning, as well as in
everyday life.

NOW, THE COURSE IS AVAILABLE IN A BEAUTIFUL DVD BOX SET FOR VIEWING IN
YOUR HOME OR FOR USE IN A SMALL GROUP.

YOU CAN RECEIVE THE DVD BOX SET AS A THANK-YOU FOR YOUR TAX-DEDUCTIBLE
GIFT OF $100 OR MORE IN SUPPORT OF OUR EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH EFFORTS ON

Your tax-deductible gift will help promote our free online courses and
