About this title

Synopsis

This book is an authoritative compendium of mathematical, physical, astronomical and cosmological knowledge as it was understood in England in the 17th century. It contains explanations of key concepts and definitions, and explores advanced topics such as incommensurable numbers, astronomy and the nature of the universe. The author draws on the work of leading scholars such as Euclid, Ptolemy, and Copernicus, and attempts to synthesize their ideas into a coherent framework. While the book is a product of its time, it offers intriguing insights into the history of science and mathematics, and will be of interest to anyone with a curious mind and a passion for understanding the origins of scientific discovery.
