Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Elements of Geometry: Containing Books I, to Vi, and Portions of Books XI, and XII, of Euclid With Exercises and Notes
The work is based on the Greek text, as it is given in the Editions of August and Peyrard. To the suggestions of the late Professor De Morgan, published in the Companion to the British Almanack for 1849, I have paid constant deference.
A limited use of symbolic representation, wherein the symbols stand for words and not for operations, is generally regarded as desirable. And it is certain that the symbols employed in this book are admis sible in the Examinations at Oxford and Cambridge.
