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 ... and Spherical Trigonometry (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
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.
