Dear Sir

I have to acknolege the reciept of your favor of May 14. in which you mention that you have finished the6. first books of Euclid, plane trigonometry, surveying & algebra and ask whether I think a furtherpursuit of that branch of science would be useful to you. there are some propositions in the latter books ofEuclid, & some of Archimedes, which are useful, & I have no doubt you have been made acquainted withthem. trigonometry, so far as this, is most valuable to every man, there is scarcely a day in which he will notresort to it for some of the purposes of common life. the science of calculation also is indispensible as far asthe extraction of the square & cube roots; Algebra as far as the quadratic equation & the use of logarithmsare often of value in ordinary cases: but all beyond these is but a luxury; a delicious luxury indeed; butnot to be indulged in by one who is to have a profession to follow for his subsistence. in this light I view theconic sections, curves of the higher orders, perhaps even spherical trigonometry, Algebraical operationsbeyond the 2d dimension, and fluxions. Letter from Thomas Jefferson to William G. Munford, Monticello, June 18, 1799.
