Excerpt from Principles of Geometry, Mensuration, Trigonometry, Land-Surveying and Levelling: Containing Familiar Demonstrations and Illustrations of the Most Important Propositions in Euclid's Elements, Proofs of All the Useful Rules and Formulæ in Mensuration and Trigonometry, With Their Application to the Solution of Practical Problems
In a course of elementary instruction, Geometry is, perhaps, not less important than Algebra. It will, there fore, be instructive to trace the origin of our ideas in geometry, with the view of suggesting to us the means whereby first notions, on this subject, should be conveyed to the mind of the learner. Geometry, no doubt, claimed attention at a very early epoch in the history of the human race. Surrounded by Obj ects of geometrical symmetry, with all that is beautiful in form, in the earth, the sea, and the heavens, man could not fail, even in the dawn of his intelligence, to trace the relations and properties of lines, surfaces, and solids. In the first rude essays at investiga tion, the scale and compasses would be used to confirm the deductions of reason, or the fortunate conjectures of intelli gence; and a vast amount of geometrical facts would be accumulated, independently of the formality of definitions.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive and accessible guide to the fundamental principles of geometry. Geometry is often described as the study of shapes and their properties, but this description only hints at the breadth of the subject. Through hands-on exercises, this book provides readers with a deep understanding of geometrical concepts that have shaped the development of mathematics, science and the world around us. The author traces the origins of geometry in ancient times and explains how a slow and inductive process of discovery gave us the methods that are still used for teaching geometry today. Although some may consider geometry as a static subject, this book demonstrates how geometry is continually evolving because new applications of its principles are always being discovered. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9780282981617_0
