Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Elements of Geometry
Geometry had its origin, as the name indicates, in the need of a method for the accurate description of limited portions of the Earth's surface.
At the present time the development of the science is such as to include a vast amount of material which is beyond the scope of a book devoted to the consideration of elementary forms in such space as that in which we live and exercise our senses.
