from those in Multiplication and Addition combined.

[passengerman]

Hi all;

Is it correct grammatically? I think it should be "from those combined in Multiplication and Addition". Am I right?

Or, as the divisor and quotient, multiplied, make up, (with the remainder,) the dividend, we obtain another rule, from those in Multiplication and Addition combined.

Thanks in advance,

A Treatise on Arithmetic ..., Frederick Augustus Porter Barnard.

We do use some participles in that position: She earns more than both of us put together; Ten people have more wealth than everyone else on the planet combined.

I have to say I find the sentence totally baffling. I struggle to understand what point it is trying to make.

This book was written in 1830, which probably explains (for one thing) why multiplication and arithmetic are capitalised.

I recommend joining a Mathematical Antiquarian Society and/or studying a more modern treatise.

Yes I will, but after I've finished the 19th century . And then 20th, finally 21th century science books. (I hope) (free of charge ones )

Many thanks for all your help

entanglebanks, thanks for giving examples. I can see now my version changes the meaning.
