Publisher's Synopsis
""An Elementary Treatise On Plane And Solid Geometry"" is a comprehensive textbook on geometry written by Benjamin Peirce and first published in 1869. The book covers both plane and solid geometry, providing a detailed exploration of the principles, concepts, and theorems that underpin the subject. The book is divided into two main parts, with the first part covering plane geometry and the second part covering solid geometry. Each chapter is structured around a particular topic, such as lines, angles, circles, polygons, or polyhedra, and includes numerous examples and exercises to help readers develop their understanding of the material.Peirce's approach to teaching geometry is highly systematic and rigorous, emphasizing the importance of logical reasoning and proof. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both students and teachers of geometry at the elementary level.Overall, ""An Elementary Treatise On Plane And Solid Geometry"" is a classic work of mathematical literature that remains relevant and useful to this day. It is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of geometry and its applications in various fields, including physics, engineering, and architecture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
