This volume is an accounting of the various types of mathematical proofs which could be useful to a soldier in the field. [1] It contained a Pythagorean explanation of the interactions of the celestial bodies. The book also contained instruction in fractions, algebra and the science of numbers, as basic arithmetic was called. Interestingly the book also contained a breakdown of several military campaigns and a hypothetical plan for the repulsion of any force which might try to invade England. Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag on LibraryThing and the Brown Bibliography[2] list the 1590 edition published in London. This is also the edition Millicent Sowerby's included in Catalogue of the Library of Thomas Jefferson,[3] but, Jefferson's copy no longer exists. As yet, the Wolf Lab Library has been unable to obtain a copy of Arithmetical Warlike Treatise Named Stratioticos.
