The book is a detailed analysis of the geometrical methods used by ancient mathematicians. It provides a comprehensive collection of theorems and problems that were used by the ancient mathematicians, but without any solutions. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which deals with a specific aspect of ancient geometry. The first chapter provides an overview of the history of geometry and the contributions made by ancient mathematicians. The subsequent chapters delve into the various geometrical methods used by the ancient mathematicians, including the use of conic sections, the method of exhaustion, and the use of the golden ratio. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both students and professionals in the field of mathematics. Overall, A Dissertation On The Geometrical Analysis Of The Ancients: With A Collection Of Theorems And Problems, Without Solutions (1774) is an important work that provides valuable insights into the history of geometry and the methods used by ancient mathematicians.For The Exercise Of Young Students.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
