"No Wands Out in this Classroom" stood so boldly on the board Jasper hoped when he did eventually chose to retire the words would forever be etched into the board. He sat at a desk in front of the classroom where propping up his elbows he swung a pocket watch as he waited for his students to sit. Standing, Jasper began, "Today we are going over the two systems of Arithmancy: the Agrippan Method and Chaldean Method. Please take notes from the board behind me." In his exact text read:

Systems in Arithmancy
In Arithmancy there are two popular methods used: the Agrippan and the Chaldean Method.
The Agrippan Method
-uses the most recent Latin alphabet (considers u, v, i, and j as separate letters)
-not commonly used until the 18th Century
-letters are assigned values 1-9
The Chaldean Method
-less commonly used and known
-based off the Aramaic languages
-letter values based off equating Latin letters with letters of the Hebrew alphabet
-main difference: the number 9 is not used here.
"The Chaldean Method we will not be seeing often but I am not the type of professor to lie to you. You will need to know that method and the history of the method even if we may not use it often in British arithmancy. It will be on your future exams," Jasper explained. "As for the Agrippan Method you should grow very familiar with. This is the method most popular with most European Arithmancers. This method uses the modern Latin alphabet instead of being based on the Hebrew alphabet. I will give you time to copy the notes and ask any questions you may have."
