Excerpt from Elements of Geometry, Containing Books I and II With Exercises and Notes, Vol. 1
The work is based on the Greek text, as it is given in the Editions of August and Peyrard. To the suggestions of the late Professor De Morgan, published in the Companion to the British Almanack for 1849, I have paid constant deference.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an introduction to Euclidean geometry, the mathematical system developed by the Greek mathematician Euclid around 300 BC. It is one of the oldest mathematical systems still being studied today. The book begins with the basics of geometry, such as points, lines, and angles, and then moves on to more complex topics, such as triangles, circles, and polygons. Euclid's approach to geometry is based on a set of axioms, or self-evident truths, and postulates, or assumptions that are not proven but are necessary for the development of the system. He then uses these axioms and postulates to prove a series of theorems, or statements that are logically derived from the axioms and postulates. Euclid's 'Elements' has been studied by mathematicians for centuries and has had a profound influence on the development of mathematics. It is still used today as a textbook for teaching geometry, and its methods and ideas continue to be used in modern mathematics.
