coss - the term applied to the unknown quantity (or x) of an equation, etc. + Rule of Coss - an old name for Algebra [It. regola di cosa rule of thing, the unknown quantity (the thing) being called the cosa (a translation of Arabic shai: "x" of an equation)] + cosa? (it) - what? + "The equation required to solve one of the problems presented by al-Khwarizmi bears a close resemblance to the equation defining the Golden Ratio. Al-Khwarizmi says: "I have divided ten into two parts; I have multiplied the one by ten and the other by itself, and the products were the same." Al-Khwarizmi calls the unknown shai ("the thing"). Consequently, the first line in the description of the equation obtained (for the above problem) translates to: "you multiply thing by ten; it is ten things." The equation one obtains, 10x = (10 — x)², is the one for the smaller segment of a line of length 10 divided in a Golden Ratio. The question of whether al-Khwarizmi actually had the Golden Ratio in mind when posing this problem is a matter of some dispute. Under the influence of al-Khwarizmi's work, the unknown was called "res" in the early algebraic works in Latin, translated to "cosa" ("the thing") in Italian. Accordingly, algebra itself became known as "l'arte della cosa" ("the art of the thing"). Occasionally it was referred to as the "ars magna" ("the great art"), to distinguish it from what was considered as the lesser art of arithmetic." (Mario Livio: The Golden Ratio)
