	La_Roche
		Clearly he was well thought of as a teacher of arithmetic since he was often called master of ciphers.
		La Roche published Larismetique in 1520 which was considered an excellent arithmetic book with good notation for powers and roots.
		It was immediately discovered that the first part of La Roche's Larismetique is essentially a copy of Chuquet's Algebra.
