About this title

Synopsis

This book introduces Euclid's concepts of geometry, starting with the most basic definitions and progressing to cover more complex theorems. He begins by defining a point as having no magnitude, a line as length without breadth, and a surface as having only length and breadth. He then uses these definitions to derive theorems about the properties of geometric figures, such as the Pythagorean theorem and the fact that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. Euclid's work is considered one of the most important mathematical texts ever written, and his ideas have had a profound impact on the development of mathematics and science. By providing a clear and rigorous foundation for geometry, this book has helped lay the groundwork for many of the advances that have been made in mathematics and science over the centuries.

Store Description

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.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. 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. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
