A mathematics "treatise" written by a crank called The Ridiculous Oversight, or some nonsense.  I think he was trying to justify dividing by 0.

Edit: I found it in my library's catalogue
   
Title: The stupid ridiculous oversight / by Lloyd Collester Jones.
   
Edition:    1st ed.
Publisher:    [Iowa City] : Jones, 1978.
Description:    274 p. ; 29 cm.

No, the author wasn't trying to justify dividing by zero, he merrily divided by 0 in every line of that unsourced, unformatted, unproofed high-school algebra number vomit.
