I went to St. John's for a year and the math curriculum was the high point by far. I didn't read the OP and can't vouch for it. the curriculum I got was almost entirely Euclid, plus a little bit of Greek stuff about arcs and sections, which I imagine was Nicomachus per the above comment, and there may have been some stuff about astronomy as well. but reading Euclid, and doing an entire year of math that doesn't even have numbers until the very end, which was early number theory: just incredible. I got bored, though, and the later years of the curriculum skew very hard towards European philosophers. the longer you stay there, the more you become justified in summarizing it as a philosophy degree for the sake of convenience. |
