Word: Euclid's lemma Part of Speech: noun Etymology: Named after ancient Greek mathematician Euclid of Alexandria (fl. 300 BCE). A version of the proposition appears in Book VII of his Elements. 1. The proposition that if a prime number p divides an arbitrary product ab of integers, then p divides a or b or both; Labels: uncountable Example: I used Euclid's Lemma in a slightly sly way in the second chapter, where I ran through the argument that #92;sqrt 2 is irrational. I said there that if 2 is a factor of a² then a itself must be even. This follows from Euclid's Lemma upon taking p#61;2, the only even prime, and taking b#61;a. Indeed, using Euclid's Lemma it is not hard to generalize the argument showing #92;sqrt 2 to be irrational to prove that #92;sqrtp is irrational for any prime p. Example: If a and b are not relatively prime, then the conclusion of Euclid's lemma may fail to hold. A specific example: 12#92;mid 9#92;cdot 8, but 12#92;nmid 9 and 12#92;nmid 8. 2. The proposition that if a prime number p divides an arbitrary product ab of integers, then p divides a or b or both; slightly more generally, the proposition that for integers a, b, c, if a divides bc and gcd(a, b) = 1, then a divides c; (algebra, by generalisation) the proposition that for elements a, b, c of a given principal ideal domain, if a divides bc and gcd(a, b) = 1, then a divides c. Labels: uncountable 3.

Word: Late Modern English Part of Speech: name 1. The form of the English language written and spoken in the 18th and 19th centuries. Example: Topics discussed in the papers that follow include many that will be familiar to scholars interested in eighteenth and nineteenth-century English, but the reader will find here increasing scope and refinement – a sign, we hope, of a maturing discipline. In this introduction we will sketch the early developments of work on Late Modern English and then preview the fifteen papers included in this volume, highlighting their main results and setting them against the earlier context. / It is probably accurate to say that work on Late Modern English (LModE) only took off in any serious way during the 1990s. There were of course prior studies of eighteenth and nineteenth-century English, but these were relatively thin on the ground compared with the great amounts of work done on the Old, Middle and Early Modern periods. Example: This book is meant for readers who want to discover how people in the Georgian, Regency and Victorian periods spoke and wrote. Late Modern English (LModE, 1700–1900) is currently receiving a lot of scholarly attention.

I was far, however, from supposing that, in her present elevation, she could condescend to think of me. I know by long experience that a certain kind of knowledge has but few admirers.
