The trivium comprised the three subjects taught first in medieval universities, before the quadrivium. The word is Latin, meaning "the three ways" or "the three roads", the beginning of the liberal arts. It also serves as a root for the concept of triviality. At many ancient universities, such as University of Oxford, this would have been the principal undergraduate course. In medieval educational theory, the trivium consisted of grammar, rhetoric, and logic. These were considered preparatory fields for the quadrivium, which was made up of arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy. In turn, the quadrivium was considered preparatory work for the serious study of philosophy and theology. This schema is sometimes referred to as classical education, but it is more accurately a development of the 12th century and 13th century rather than a direct descendant of the educational systems of antiquity. ==External Links== *[http://www.classical-homeschooling.org/trivium.html Classical Christian Homeschooling - Trivium] ==See also== *Trivia (disambiguation) *Trivial *Andreas Capellanus *Degrees of Oxford University *Trivium (band) - The band "Trivium" Education
