Elements of Geometry: Containing the First Six Books of Euc, With a Supplement on the Quadrature of the Circle and the Geometry of Solids, to Which Added, Elements of Plane and Spherical Trigonometry (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Elements of Geometry<br/><br/>In the second Book, also, some algebraic signs have been introduced, for the sake of representing more readily the addition and subtraction of the rectangles on which the demonstrations depend. The use of such sym helical writing, in translating from an original, where no symbols are used, cannot, I think, be regarded as an unwarrantable liberty for, if by that means the translation is not made into English, it is made into that univer sal language so much sought after in all the sciences, but destined, it would seem, to be enjoyed only by the mathematical.

Elements of Geometry (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is the oldest known text on elementary geometry, written in Alexandria at the dawn of Western civilization. The author, a Greek mathematician named Euclid, laid the foundations of mathematics as we know it, with his groundbreaking exploration of shapes and numbers. Euclid's approach established a rigorous, logical framework for geometry, based on definitions, postulates, and axioms. He proved 465 propositions on the basis of five postulates. His most famous theorem is the Pythagorean theorem, which defines the relationship between the sides of a right triangle. The Elements of Geometry was revolutionary in its application of logic and abstraction, providing a model for other fields of mathematics and science. This classic text remains a cornerstone of mathematical education and has had a profound impact on the development of mathematics, architecture, and related disciplines. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332353088_0
