Euclid And His Modern Rivals (1885)

Euclid And His Modern Rivals is a book written by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, more commonly known as Lewis Carroll. Published in 1885, the book examines the history of geometry and the work of Euclid, the ancient Greek mathematician who is considered the father of geometry. Dodgson compares Euclid's work with that of other mathematicians who came after him, including John Wallis and Isaac Barrow. The book also includes a discussion of non-Euclidean geometry, which was a relatively new field at the time. Dodgson uses his signature wit and humor throughout the book, making it an entertaining and informative read for anyone interested in the history of mathematics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
