Where it comes from
The claim comes from MacTutor History of Mathematics.
The sentence itself was written for this site rather than quoted from anywhere, so what you are solving is our wording of a claim that is somebody else’s. The explanation is on the answer page.
Want the answer?
Have a proper go at it first. The solution is on a page of its own, so you won’t run into it by accident.
