Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents one of the earliest mathematical treatises on conic sections, a pioneering area of study that has influenced fields ranging from astronomy to engineering. The author breaks down complex geometric relationships into accessible and easy-to-understand terms. The book's systematic approach and clear demonstrations have made it a cornerstone text for learning about conic sections, including the parabola, ellipse, and hyperbola, since it was first published in Greek around 200 BC. Key concepts explored in this book, such as the use of geometric constructions and the importance of maintaining ratios, are concepts still used in contemporary mathematics and engineering applications. Through the author's logical and measured approach, readers will gain a foundational understanding of conic sections and their geometric properties.
