To raise a number to powers higher than the square is a formal continuation of the squaring both in the case of even exponents, where it is only a repetition of the squaring, and in the case of the uneven, where inequality resurfaces; in the simplest case of a cube, for instance, despite the formal equality of the new factor with both the amount and the unit, the new factor is as unit unequal as against the amount (the square, against times ); and
