Adam Murimuth's Continuation and Robert of Avesbury’s 'The Wonderful Deeds of King Edward III'
This volume brings together two of the most important contemporary chronicles for the reign of Edward III and the opening phases of the Hundred Years’ War. Written in Latin by English clerical observers, these texts provide a vivid and authoritative window into the political, diplomatic, and military history of fourteenth-century England and its continental ambitions. Adam Murimuth Continuatio's Chronicarum continues an earlier chronicle into the mid-fourteenth century, offering concise but valuable notices on royal policy, foreign relations, and ecclesiastical affairs. Its annalistic structure makes it especially useful for establishing chronology and tracing the development of events year by year. Complementing it, Robert of Avesbury’s De gestis mirabilibus regis Edwardi tertii is a rich documentary chronicle preserving letters, treaties, and official records alongside narrative passages. It is an indispensable source for understanding Edward III’s claim to the French crown, the conduct of war, and the mechanisms of medieval diplomacy. Together, these works offer scholars, students, and enthusiasts a reliable and unembellished account of a transformative period in English and European history. Essential for anyone interested in medieval chronicles, the Hundred Years’ War, or the reign of Edward III.

Mathematics is in General Things.
Real Numbers can be either Algebraic Numbers or Transcendental Number.
Transcendental Number are numbers which are non-algebraic. They transcend Algebraic Numbers hence the name.
Real Numbers can be either Algebraic Numbers or Transcendental Number.
Natural Logarithm of 2. Is the logarithm of 2 to the base of e. It is usually written as ln2. It is a Transcendental Number.
The Alternating Harmonic Series: SUM(1,INFINITY) ( (-1)**(N+1) ) / N = 1 - (1/2) + (1/3) - (1/4) + (1/5) - (1/6) + ....
Or Binary Rising Constant Factorial: SUM(1,INFINITY) 1 / ( ( 2**N ) *N) = 1/2 + 1/8 + 1/24 + 1/64 + 1/160 + 1/384 + 1/896 + ....
Or SUM(0,INFINITY) 1 / ( ( 2N + 1 ) * ( 2N + 2 ) ) = 1 / ( 4N**2 + 6N + 2 ) = 1/2 + 1/12 + 1/30 + 1/56 + 1/90 + 1/132 + 1/182 + 1/240 + ....
e. Euler's Number is 2.718254. It is usually written as 'e'. It is a Transcendental Number.
Euler's Number is the number to which compounding, as in compount interest, converges.
For example, if interest is paid at 100% then after one year £1 becomes £2.
If the interest is charged at 50% twice then the interest will be ( 1 * 1.5 ) * 1.5 = 1.5**2 = 2.25
If the interest is charged at 25% four times then the interest will be ( ( ( ( 1 * 1.25 ) * 1.25 ) * 1.25 ) * 1.25 )= 1.25**4 = 2.44
If the interest is charged at 8.33% twelve times then the interest will be 1.0833**12 = 2.612
If the interest is charged at 4.2% twenty-four times year then the interest will be ( 1.042**4 ) = 2.67
If the interest is charged at 0.1% one thousand times then the interest will be ( 1.001**1000 ) = 2.72
If the interest is charged at an infinite number of times then the interest will be ( 1.00/∞ )**∞ = 2.718254... which is Euler's number.
Euler's Number is the sum of the infinite series ( 1 / n! ) ie 1 + 1 + 1/2 + 1/6 + 1/24 + 1/120 + 1/720 + 1/5040 .... = 2.718281828.

PI is the ratio of diameter and circumference of a circle. It is a Transcendental Number.
Fibonacci Series. The series that starts with 0 and 1. Some mathematicians suggest it starts with 1 and 1. The next term in the series is the sum of its previous two terms: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, etc.
