Elements of Geometry, and Plane Trigonometry: With an Appendix, and Very Copious Notes and Illustrations (Classic Reprint) - Brossura
Sinossi
Excerpt from Elements of Geometry, and Plane Trigonometry: With an Appendix, and Very Copious Notes and Illustrations
We should form a wrong estimate, however, did we consider the Elements of Euclid, with all its merits, as a finished production. That admi rable work was composed at the period when Geo metry was making its most rapid advances, and new prospects were opening on every side. No wonder that its structure should now appear loose and defective. In adapting it to the actual state of the science, I have therefore endeavoured care fully to retain the spirit Of the original, but have sought to enlarge the basis, and to dispose the accumulated materials into a regular and more compact system. By simplifying the order Of ar rangement, I have materially abridged the labour Of the student. The numerous additions that are incorporated in the text, so far from retarding, will rather facilitate his progress, by rendering more continuous the chain Of demonstration.
