Euclids Elements of Geometry, Containing the Whole Twelve Books: To Which Are Added, Algebraic Demonstrations to the Second and Fifth Books

by Euclid

Euclid's Elements of Geometry is a comprehensive mathematical treatise that includes all twelve books of Euclid's original work. This book is a classic in the field of mathematics and has been studied for centuries. It covers topics such as plane geometry, solid geometry, and number theory. The book is written in a clear and concise manner, making it accessible to both beginners and advanced students of mathematics.In addition to the original twelve books, this edition includes algebraic demonstrations to the second and fifth books. These demonstrations provide a deeper understanding of the concepts presented in the text and offer additional insights into the principles of geometry.Overall, Euclid's Elements of Geometry is an essential resource for anyone interested in the study of mathematics. It is a foundational text that has shaped the way we think about geometry and has influenced countless mathematicians throughout history.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1826 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

About the author

Euclid (Ancient Greek: Εὐκλείδης Eukleidēs -- "Good Glory", ca. 365-275 BC) also known as Euclid of Alexandria, was a Greek mathematician, often referred to as the "Father of Geometry". He was active in Alexandria during the reign of Ptolemy I (323–283 BC). His Stoicheia (Elements) is a 13-volume exploration all corners of mathematics, based on the works of, inter alia, Aristotle, Eudoxus of Cnidus, Plato, Pythagoras. It is one of the most influential works in the history of mathematics, presenting the mathematical theorems and problems with great clarity, and showing their solutions concisely and logically. Thus, it came to serve as the main textbook for teaching mathematics (especially geometry) from the time of its publication until the late 19th or early 20th century. In the Elements, Euclid deduced the principles of what is now called Euclidean geometry from a small set of axioms. Euclid also wrote works on perspective, conic sections, spherical geometry, number theory and rigor. He is sometimes credited with one original theory, a method of exhaustion through which the area of a circle and volume of a sphere can be calculated, but he left a much greater mark as a teacher.

Re: Euclid's Elements of Geometry, Containing the Whole Twelve Books

This edition only contains the first SIX books of Euclid.

It appears reviewers don't bother READING books before reviewing them.
