Introduction

                                                 The Science of Integration


    The perennial philosophy recognises four major levels of understanding. I refer to these - in geometrical terms - as the linear, circular, point and radial levels.
    Associated with each of these levels is a coherent system of mathematics.

    Analytical mathematics - the conventional quantitative approach - is the product of the (rational) linear level.

    However there is a complementary qualitative approach to mathematics which is related to the three "higher" levels.
    I refer to these systems as Holistic Mathematics 1, Holistic Mathematics 2 and Holistic Mathematics 3 respectively.
    Surprisingly, the three "higher" levels of mathematics have been greatly neglected throughout the history of mathematics. The purpose of this extended discussion is to highlight their precise nature and scientific importance.
