Description
This unabridged Dover edition contains the complete English text (translated by Sir Thomas Heath) of the Elements, written by the famous Greek mathematician Euclid, plus a critical apparatus which analyzes each definition, postulate, and proposition in great detail. It encompasses almost 2500 years of mathematical and historical study, and though the material is fairly old, it's still considered by many to be the standard by which all other geometry texts are measured. The book is divided into sections, the first of which introduces the life and other works of Euclid, Greek and Islamic commentators,
surviving manuscripts, translations, bases of Euclid's thoughts, and Books I and II of the
Elements (which cover straight lines, intersection of lines, angles, triangles, parallelograms, etc.). It covers the basics of geometry while Books III to XIII (which are not included in this edition) expand upon the info and add details on the more complicated aspects of geometry. Hundreds of figures help illustrate the proofs and rules that are explained. Like many Dover editions, lots of text is crammed onto one page to make the book shorter and more affordable. No practice exercises or reviews are provided, but the rules of geometry are explained with examples in a very straightforward way. 432 pgs, pb. ~ Rachel
