Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed examination of the Italian mathematician Lorenzo Mascheroni's work. The author provides a thorough analysis of Mascheroni's 1797 treatise on geometry, which famously proved that all geometrical constructions can be made using only a compass. The book traces the historical development of the problem of geometrical constructions, situating Mascheroni's work within a broader intellectual context. The author also explores the thematic depth of Mascheroni's ideas, discussing the implications of his work for our understanding of geometry and mathematics as a whole. Ultimately, this book offers a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of mathematics, the work of Lorenzo Mascheroni, or the broader implications of geometrical constructions for our understanding of space and form.
