Synopsis

This book opens with the author setting out the basic mathematical principles of geometry. The basic building blocks are defined, such as points, lines, angles, surfaces and solids, and from these the author moves on to demonstrate how these can be combined and used to build more complex geometric structures. The work represents a bridge between the work of earlier mathematicians and the more refined and developed mathematics of a later era, providing not only an accessible and systematic account of mathematical principles, but also demonstrating how they interrelate and connect. It provides a framework to build upon, laying out the principles that form the foundation of geometry.
