Synopsis

This text is a comprehensive exploration of geometric proportion, an extensive mathematical subject which has fascinated and challenged scholars for millennia. It traces the subject from its origins in the work of ancient Greek mathematicians such as Euclid, to its continued applications in modern-day scientific disciplines such as algebra and trigonometry. The author offers a rigorous and systematic approach to understanding the subject’s fundamental theorems and their significance in mathematics. Through a combination of theoretical explanations and practical examples, the author expounds on the concept of ratio, the relationship between different magnitudes, and the techniques for comparing and manipulating them. This book provides a valuable resource for students, researchers, and anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of geometric proportion and its role in mathematics.
