Inhaltsangabe
This book provides an in-depth guide to Euclidean plane geometry, starting with basic definitions and progressing to complex theorems. The author presents a methodical approach to learning geometry, breaking down complex concepts into manageable steps with numerous supporting diagrams and examples. It explores the development of geometry throughout history, tracing its roots back to ancient civilizations and discussing the contributions of key thinkers like Euclid and Pythagoras. The book delves into the theoretical foundations of geometry, such as points, lines, angles, and shapes, and demonstrates their practical applications in various areas, including architecture, engineering, and surveying. It emphasizes the importance of understanding geometric principles for problem-solving and critical thinking in both academic and real-world contexts, making it an invaluable resource for students, educators, and anyone seeking to enhance their knowledge of geometry.
Reseña del editor
Excerpt from Gradations in Euclid: Books I. And II.; An Introduction to Plane Geometry, Its Use and Application; With an Explanatory Preface; Remarks on Geometrical Reasoning, and on Arithmetic and Algebra Applied to Geometry
The practical results will, it is presumed, be instructive to the Learner in various ways, but especially as exhibiting a synoptical view of all the Problems contained in Euclid's Elements of Plane Geometry He will not, indeed, have arrived at the means of demonstrating the Prob lems which lie out of the First and Second Books; but, inasmuch as their construction depends almost entirely on those two books, he wil possess, for practical purposes, a knowledge of the methods by which, the regular Geometrical Figures, not being sections of a Cone, are to be constructed.
