Excerpt from The First Six Books of the Elements of Euclid: And Propositions I-XXI
A geometrical magnitude which has three dimensions, that is, length, breadth, and thickness, is a solid; that which has two dimensions, such as length and breadth, is a surface; and that which has but one dimension is a line. But a point is neither a solid, nor a surface, nor a line; hence it has no dimensions - that is, it has neither length, breadth, nor thickness.

Excerpt from The First Six Books of the Elements of Euclid: And Propositions I-XXI
This edition of the Elements of Euclid, undertaken at the request of the principals of some of the leading Colleges and Schools of Ireland, is intended to supply a want much felt by teachers at the present day - the production of a work which, while giving the unrivalled original in all its integrity, would also contain the modern conceptions and developments of the portion of Geometry over which the Elements extend. A cursory examination of the work will show that the Editor has gone much further in this latter direction than any of his predecessors, for it will be found to contain, not only more actual matter than is given in any of theirs with which he is acquainted, but also much of a special character, which is not given, so far as he is aware, in any former work on the subject.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is not only the definitive study of Euclid's Elements, it is a complete manual and guide to Elementary Geometry. Covering everything from the basics to more complex problems, it is designed to meet the needs of students of every level, from the complete beginner upwards. The author's approach is systematic and well-organised, covering every aspect of the subject from the first principles upwards. Figures and diagrams clearly illustrate geometrical concepts, while exercises test comprehension and provide plenty of opportunities to put new knowledge into practice. More than just a collection of theorems and proofs, this work is a fascinating exploration of the history, meaning and essential nature of geometrical thought. For those interested in the broader significance of mathematics, it is an invaluable resource, providing a fresh perspective on one of the key foundations of both scientific and philosophical thought. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
