About this title

Synopsis

New Elements of Mathematics: Or Euclid Corrected, Containing Plane Geometry, General Investigation of Areas, Surfaces, and Solids is a book written by John Muller and first published in 1773. The book is a revised version of Euclid's Elements, a classical work of mathematics that laid the foundation for the study of geometry. Muller's version corrects some of the errors and inconsistencies found in Euclid's work, and introduces new concepts and methods for investigating geometric shapes and their properties. The book covers a wide range of topics, including plane geometry, the measurement of angles and distances, the calculation of areas and volumes, and the study of curves and surfaces. It also includes numerous illustrations and diagrams to help readers understand the concepts presented. Overall, New Elements of Mathematics is an important work in the history of mathematics, and remains a valuable resource for students and scholars of geometry and related fields.Greatest And Least Quantities; Trigonometry; Logarithms; Motion, Uniform, Retarded, Accelerated, Application, Projectiles, Fluids, Compound, Fluxions.
