Publisher's Synopsis
""A Brief Account of the Historical Development of Pseudospherical Surfaces from 1827 to 1887"" is a book written by Emily Coddington in 1905. The book provides an overview of the historical development of pseudospherical surfaces, which are surfaces that have constant negative curvature. Coddington traces the development of these surfaces from their earliest mathematical descriptions in the 19th century to their applications in various fields such as geometry, physics, and engineering. The book includes detailed descriptions of the work of mathematicians such as Carl Friedrich Gauss, Nikolai Lobachevsky, and Eugenio Beltrami, as well as their contributions to the study of pseudospherical surfaces. The book is written in a scholarly, academic style and is intended for students and scholars of mathematics and related fields who are interested in the history of mathematical concepts and their development over time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
