The text is divided into six books, each of which builds upon the concepts introduced in the previous book. Euclid's approach to geometry is rigorous and logical, and the book has been used as a standard textbook for centuries. The Elements of Geometry is a must-read for anyone interested in mathematics or the history of science.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
