A Brief History

It is sparsely known to most the origin of The Maths Bible. Some say it was a plot to lure unsuspecting students into an early future of back problems. Others say it was the maths teachers solution to doing nothing (that's right. Once you have done your homework, you can mark it yourself! Obviously no cheating goes on here). The truth is far different. It is stated that on the Fourth Day, God handed down a stone tablet bearing the bearings unto his faithful servant - Moses? Noah? No - Mr Reeves! From that day on, Mr Reeves proceeded to spread The Word of the Maths to all passers by.

The Gospel according to Circle Theorems

Few people know about this sacred teachings, even few understand it; none of whom care. But the circle theorems teach us how to love one another as our neighbour, to treat everyone with respect and, most importantly, to always check that the opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral add up to 180 degrees.

The Ten Commandments

  • Thou shalt be consistent with both sides of the equation.
  • Though shalt not covet thine neighbouring terms's coefficients.
  • Thy shall beware of the quadrants in complex numbers and vectors according to the Gospel of Reeves.
  • Thou shalt not differentiate a non-continuous function.
  • Thine probability shall be 0 or 1 or inbetween - never otherwise.
  • Thou shalt pronounce Cosh u not as Cos hu according to the teachings of Chapman.
  • Repent thine sines and signs.
  • Thou shalt not randomly drop terms.
  • Remember the square root of minus one and keep it imaginary.
  • You shall not make for yourself a fudge factor.
