	La_Roche biography
		La Roche published Larismetique in 1520 which was considered an excellent arithmetic book with good notation for powers and roots.
		It now appears that La Roche was trying to teach important mathematics which was not available to the French public he tried to teach.
		Indeed La Roche took parts of Chuquet, parts of Pacioli and parts of Philippe Frescobaldi, a French banker who was lesser known as a mathematics writer, and without any real skill on his part formed them into a teaching book.

	The Galileo Project
		Recent scholarship, though agreeing that parts of the Triparty were blatantly copied and other parts suppressed or curtailed in La Roche's Larismetique, has emphasized the audience that La Roche was trying to reach with his work.
		At worst La Roche can be accused of patching together the works of three authors, Luca Pacioli, Philippe Frescobaldi (a banker in Lyon), and Nicolas Chuquet, whose works were inaccessible to the average French merchant.
		La Roche simply made their information available to a previously neglected audience.

		Estienne de La Roche (1470-1530) was a French mathematician.
		La Roche did try to teach significant mathematics, inaccessible at the time to a French audience, and thus was not merely a plagiarist.
		La Roche may have borrowed from or been influenced by several mathematicians, including Chuquet, Pacioli and Philippe Frescobaldi, a French banker who wrote some books of mathematics.

	Wordwizard Clubhouse - of millions, billions, milliards, illions, etc. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		The terms ‘billion,’ ‘trillion,’ ‘quadrillion,’ etc., up to ‘nonillion,’ were defined in a 16th century French arithmetic/algebra book, ‘Larismetique’ (1520), written by French math teacher Estienne de la Roche.
		It was later found that much of the material in his book was actually from an earlier book, ‘Triparty de la Science des Nombres’ written in the late 15th century (but undiscovered and unpublished until 1880) by his teacher Nicolas Chuquet.
		It was only in the middle of the 17th century that the ‘erroneous’ custom was established of dividing series of figures above a million into groups of three, and calling a thousand millions a ‘billion,’ and a million millions a ‘trillion,’ a heinous distortion of the nomenclature of Chuquet and De la Roche.

	Semantic Compositions: What did Dr. Evil have in mind?
		The conflict arose from "an entire perversion" of the original meaning of the names for large numbers, according to an entry in the Oxford English Dictionary.
		It was a change "condemned by the greatest lexicographers," mathematicians John Horton Conway and Richard K. Guy wrote in "The Book of Numbers." About 500 years ago, French mathematicians Nicolas Chuquet and Estienne de la Roche put forward the definitions now standard in most of Europe.
		They used Latin prefixes for one, two, three and so on, and the scheme had a pleasing symmetry: An increase of one in the prefix meant multiplying the number by a million.
