The Elements of Euclid: Viz. The First Six Books, With the Eleventh and Twelfth

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces Euclid's concepts of geometry, starting with the most basic definitions and progressing to cover more complex theorems. He begins by defining a point as having no magnitude, a line as length without breadth, and a surface as having only length and breadth. He then uses these definitions to derive theorems about the properties of geometric figures, such as the Pythagorean theorem and the fact that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. Euclid's work is considered one of the most important mathematical texts ever written, and his ideas have had a profound impact on the development of mathematics and science. By providing a clear and rigorous foundation for geometry, this book has helped lay the groundwork for many of the advances that have been made in mathematics and science over the centuries.
