From what I can see, both spellings seem to be used, where Google offers "Do you mean Euclidean" for "Euclidian", but the latter has 3.500.000 hits against 1.500.000 for Euclidean. Strange. Also, look at this: <http://www.dictionary.net/euclidian>. So, my question is: What is really correct? Can you (or someone else) give a reference?
I've always used the Chambers dictionary, which allows both: http://www.chambersharrap.co.uk/chambers/chref/chref.py/main?title=21st&query=euclidean Although the 1994 hardcopy edition I have only has "Euclidean" jon -- "In times like these, it helps to recall that there have always been times like these." - Paul Harvey
