Publisher's Synopsis
Euclid's Elements of Geometry is a comprehensive mathematical treatise that presents the fundamental principles of geometry in a systematic and logical manner. The book is divided into twelve chapters, or books, each of which covers a specific aspect of geometry, such as lines, angles, circles, and polygons.The text is written in a clear and concise style, with Euclid presenting each theorem and proof in a step-by-step manner. The book is notable for its use of axioms and postulates as the basis for all geometric reasoning, and for its emphasis on deductive reasoning and logical argumentation.In addition to the original twelve books of the Elements, this edition also includes algebraic demonstrations of the second and fifth books, which provide a more advanced treatment of geometric concepts using algebraic methods.Overall, Euclid's Elements of Geometry is a classic work of mathematics that has had a profound influence on the development of geometry and mathematical reasoning. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of mathematics or in developing a deeper understanding of geometry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
