Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fundamentals of geometry, exploring the foundational principles laid out by Euclid, a renowned Greek mathematician. The author scrutinizes Euclid's work, identifying and correcting errors introduced by later scholars, such as Theon. The book presents Euclid's original demonstrations, restored to their intended accuracy, and challenges the commonly held belief that Theon's contributions were limited to mere clarifications and additions. By scrutinizing the fifth and eleventh books of Euclid's Elements, the author highlights Theon's substantial alterations and their impact on the clarity and validity of the text. This meticulous analysis reveals a deeper understanding of the historical evolution of geometric thought and challenges the long-held assumptions about the purity of Euclid's work. It offers a fresh perspective on the foundational principles of geometry and sheds light on the inherent challenges and pitfalls of preserving ancient knowledge. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Codice articolo 9781333295578_0
