Thus, two triangles are said to b ruivalent, or equal in area, or simp]} equal, if they have equal bases and equal altitudes. Bu1 if they are also similar in shape, nt .or identically equal. In algebra, two equations are said to be equiva- lent when the routs of each completely satisfy the other; e.g. if the same quantity is added to or subtracted from the two members of an equation, nit is an equivalent equation, since any root oi A=B is also a root oi A.±C =B±C, and any root of A.'±0 = B±C i^ also a root of A= H. But, while and as = 2 are equation each of which is directly derivable from tl thers, they are not equivalent equa- E'RA. See ' InsoNOi ogy. ERAN'. ERA'NIAN. See [BAN, [BANIAN.

He was born at Iulis. in the island of Ceos, probably between B.C. 340 and 325, the son of Cleombrotus and Cretoxene. He became the pupil of Metrodorus and Theo- phrastus, and through Metrodorus was inllu- eneed by the views of Chrysippus. He traveled much, and was about B.C. 294 body physician at the Court of Seleucus Xicator, King of Syria. At a later time he resided at Samos, but, giving up practice, devoted himself to the study of the the- ory of anatomy. Erasistratus was the first to distinguish between the sensory nerves and the motor nerves, and to trace both sets of nerves back to the substance of the brain. He also ap proached to the right view of the circulation of the blood, in that be explained the origin of both the veins and the arteries as being in the heart. He wrote many works on medicine and anatomy, of which we have a few fragments and the titles oi some fourteen or fifteen, There was a later sect of physicians who called themselves, from the name of their master, Erasistrateans.
