Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a treatise on conic sectionsâ"circles, ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolasâ"based on the works of Apollonius of Perga from the 3rd century BC and other ancient Greek authors. The author uses Euclidean methods to tackle geometrical problems and to explore the properties of conic sections. The work explores topics such as the curvature of conic sections, the calculation of areas and volumes, and the construction of tangents to these curves. As an in-depth historical study of ancient mathematics, this book will appeal to mathematicians, historians, and anyone with an interest in the foundations of geometry.
