Although a thorough knowledge of the Elements of Euclid is indispensable previously to any further progress in the Mathematics; yet such is the repulsive form in which they have hitherto been presented to the student, that he seldom fails to experience considerable embarrassment in the onset, and frequently abandons the pursuit after reading the first four or five propositions.
The absence of methodical arrangement in any kind of argument, seldom fails to obscure the whole. Each syllogism should be clearly detached from the other, so that its force be fully evinced, before another, as consequent upon it, be brought into notice. In the present editions of Euclid no stronger mark of distinction exists between the steps of the demonstration than a colon or period. The student is therefore extremely liable to blend them together. And the nice discrimination necessary to separate them, requires more labour and greater abstraction of thought than the generality of beginners are either capable of, or willing to submit to.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents Euclid's influential work, "Elements," a foundational text in mathematics. Written around 300 B.C.E., "Elements" is a collection of 13 books that cover plane and solid geometry. Euclid's work was highly influential in the development of mathematics and is still studied today. Its rigor and logical structure set a standard for mathematical writing for centuries to come. "Elements" is not simply a collection of theorems and proofs; it is also a systematic exploration of the logical foundations of mathematics. Euclid begins with a set of axioms and postulates and then uses these to prove a series of increasingly complex theorems. This approach allowed Euclid to develop a comprehensive and coherent system of geometry. One of the most important concepts in "Elements" is the idea of a proof. Euclid's proofs are models of logical reasoning, and they have had a profound influence on the development of mathematics. Euclid's work laid the groundwork for the development of calculus and other branches of mathematics essential for describing the universe we live in. "Elements" played a pivotal role in shaping mathematics and provided a foundation for scientific thought. 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 9781331895749_0
