About this title

Synopsis

""Euclid's Parallel Postulate: Its Nature, Validity And Place In Geometrical Systems"" is a book written by John William Withers that delves into the nature and validity of Euclid's Parallel Postulate, which states that if a line intersects two other lines and the interior angles on the same side of the intersecting line add up to less than 180 degrees, then the two lines will eventually intersect on that side. Withers explores the historical background of the postulate and its significance in the development of geometry, as well as its relationship to other geometrical systems. The book is a comprehensive examination of the postulate and its role in the broader field of mathematics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
