Publisher's Synopsis
""The First Six Books of the Elements of Euclid"" is a classic mathematical text written by Euclid, a Greek mathematician, around 300 BC. This book is an appendix to Euclid's original work and was written by John Casey in 1907. The book covers topics such as geometry, algebra, and trigonometry, and is divided into six books. The first book covers basic concepts such as points, lines, and angles, while the second book focuses on geometric constructions. The third book covers circles and their properties, while the fourth book introduces regular polygons. The fifth book covers the theory of proportions and ratios, and the sixth book covers the properties of similar figures. The appendix covers the properties of cylinders, spheres, cones, and other three-dimensional shapes. The book is written in a clear and concise manner, making it accessible to both beginners and advanced students of mathematics. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and development of mathematics.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.
