About this title

Synopsis

This book presents the first six books of Euclid's Elements, a foundational work in mathematics that has shaped Western thought for centuries. Originally written in Greek around 300 BC by the mathematician Euclid of Alexandria, the Elements is a systematic and logical exposition of geometry, arithmetic, and elementary number theory. The author's approach is axiomatic, beginning with a small set of basic definitions and postulates and building upon them to derive complex theorems. The first book of the Elements introduces the basic concepts of Euclidean geometry, including points, lines, angles, triangles, and other polygons. The second book introduces the notion of geometric proof and demonstrates how to use axioms and postulates to derive new theorems. The third and fourth books continue this process, introducing more complex geometric concepts such as circles, spheres, and solids. The fifth and sixth books apply geometric principles to the study of number theory, including the calculation of areas and volumes and the properties of prime numbers. Euclid's Elements has had a profound impact on the development of mathematics. It has been used as a textbook for centuries and has influenced the work of mathematicians from Archimedes to Newton. The Elements is still studied today as a model of logical reasoning and as a source of important mathematical concepts. Its insights into the nature of mathematics and its applications continue to be relevant and illuminating.

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.?

We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence.
