About this title

Synopsis

New Elements of Mathematics: Or Euclid Corrected, Containing Plane Geometry, General Investigation of Areas, Surfaces, and Solids (1773) is a book written by John Muller. The book is a revised version of Euclid's Elements, which is one of the most famous mathematical texts in history. Muller's version corrects some of the errors in Euclid's work and expands upon it with new insights and discoveries. The book covers a range of topics in mathematics, including plane geometry, the study of two-dimensional shapes and figures, and the investigation of areas, surfaces, and solids. Muller's approach to geometry is more analytical than Euclid's, and he uses algebraic equations to solve geometric problems. In addition to geometry, the book also explores the properties of mathematical objects such as lines, angles, and circles. Muller also delves into the concept of proportionality, which is a fundamental concept in mathematics, and discusses its applications in various fields. New Elements of Mathematics: Or Euclid Corrected, Containing Plane Geometry, General Investigation of Areas, Surfaces, and Solids (1773) is a valuable resource for students and scholars of mathematics, as well as anyone interested in the history of mathematics. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of mathematics in the 18th century and the ways in which it has evolved over time.Greatest And Least Quantities; Trigonometry; Logarithms; Motion, Uniform, Retarded, Accelerated, Application, Projectiles, Fluids, Compound, Fluxions.
