Excerpt from Récréations Mathématiques Et Problèmes des Temps Ancien Et Modernes, Vol. 2: Questions de Géométrie; Questions de Mécanique; Questions Diverses; Carrés Magiques; Problémes des Tracés Continus; Trois Problémes de Géométrie; Equation du 3e Degré
Ce premier chapitre est consacré à certaines questions du ressort de la géométrie et dont la discussion n'exige pas nécessairement l'em ploi de l'algèbre. Aucun auteur n'a jusqu'ici collectionné et classé les problèmes de cette nature comme Bachet l'a fait pour ses récréa tions sur l'arithmétique; les divers exemples que nous donnons, sont le résultat de notes prises un peu au hasard et nous les pré sentons en réclamant à l'avance l'indulgence du lecteur pour toutes les imperfections qui pourraient s'y trouver.
