Publisher's Synopsis
Elements of Geometry: Containing the First Six Books of Euclid is a classic mathematical textbook written by the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid. The book is a comprehensive introduction to geometry, covering topics such as points, lines, angles, triangles, circles, and more. It is divided into six books, each of which builds upon the previous one. The first book introduces the basic concepts of geometry, such as definitions and postulates, and lays the foundation for the rest of the book. The second book covers geometric algebra, including the properties of lines and angles. The third book focuses on circles, including their properties and the relationships between circles and other geometric shapes. The fourth book covers regular polygons, including the properties of triangles, squares, and other regular shapes. The fifth book covers proportions and ratios, including the relationships between similar figures. Finally, the sixth book covers the properties of solid figures, including cubes, cylinders, and cones. Elements of Geometry: Containing the First Six Books of Euclid is a timeless classic that has been used as a textbook for centuries. It is a must-read for anyone interested in mathematics or geometry, and it remains an important reference for mathematicians, scientists, and educators today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
