Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Euclid's Elements of Geometry is a classic mathematical text that contains all twelve books of Euclidean geometry. The book is divided into thirteen chapters, each of which covers a different aspect of geometry. The first four chapters deal with the basics of geometry, such as points, lines, angles, and triangles. The next four chapters cover more advanced topics, such as circles, polygons, and solid geometry. The final five chapters cover topics such as proportion, similarity, and the properties of numbers.In addition to the original text, this edition of Euclid's Elements also includes algebraic demonstrations for the second and fifth books. These demonstrations use algebraic equations to prove geometric theorems, making the text more accessible to modern readers who may be more familiar with algebra than with traditional geometric proofs.Overall, Euclid's Elements of Geometry is a foundational work in mathematics that has been studied and revered for centuries. Its clear and concise explanations of geometric concepts continue to be valuable to students and scholars of mathematics today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
