The First Six Books of the Elements of Euclid: With a Commentary and Geometrical Exercises (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The First Six Books of the Elements of Euclid, Vol. 1: With a Commentary and Geometrical Exercises
Two thousand years have now rolled away since Euclid's Elements were first used in the school of Alexandria, and to this day they continue to be esteemed the best introduction to mathematical science. They have been adopted as the basis of geometrical instruction in every part of the globe to which the light of science has penetrated; and, while in every other department of human knowledge there have been almost as many manuals as schools, in this, and in this only, one work has, by common consent, been adopted as an universal standard.
