The following statement appears in the "Work as a logician" section: "It is frequently noted that Aristotle's logic is unable to represent even the most elementary inferences in Euclid's geometry,...". No citation is given. This does not take into account the contrary opinion of John Stuart Mill in his article "Is the syllogism a petitio principii?": "The whole of Euclid, for example, might be thrown without difficulty into a series of syllogisms, regular in mood and figure." ("Readings on Logic", Copi & Gould, 1964, p.100, citing John Stuart Mill's "A System of Logic", 1874, pp. 126-157.
