Bibliography of Non-Euclidean Geometry: Including the Theory of Parallels, the Foundations of Geometry, and Space of N Dimensions (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Synopsis
This book details the history of non-Euclidean geometry by examining important works written on the subject, chronologically ordered from 350 B.C. to 1910. Before the 19th century, mathematicians and philosophers had spent centuries trying to prove Euclid's fifth postulate, but it wasn't until the 19th century that mathematicians began to entertain the possibility that the postulate could not be proven. This book captures the genesis of this groundbreaking idea and describes in full the non-Euclidean geometry that grew from it, including hyperbolic and elliptic geometries. The book's insights on geometry have earned a prominent place in the history of mathematics.
