Synopsis
Excerpt from Dissertation Second: Exhibiting a General View of the Progress of Mathematical and Physical Science, Since the Revival of Letters in Europe
The study of the remains of antiquity gradually produc ed men of taste and intelligence, who were able to correct the faults of the manuscripts they copied, and to explain the difficulties of the authors they translated. Such were Purbach, Regmmontanus, Commandine, Maurolycus, and many others. By their means, the writings of Euclid, Archimedes, Apollonius, Ptolemy, and. Pappus, became known and accessible to men of science. Arabia contri buted its share towards this great renovation, and from'the language of that country was derived the knowledge of many Greek books, of the originals of which, some were not found till long afterwards, and others have never yet been discovered.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an analysis of the major mathematical discoveries made in the period from the revival of letters to the end of the 17th century. The author begins by examining the recovery of ancient mathematical knowledge through Arabic and Greek sources, and how these rediscoveries shaped the development of geometry and algebra. The author discusses the work of major mathematicians such as Euclid, Archimedes, Apollonius, Regiomontanus, Maurolycus, Cavalieri, Descartes and others, exploring the development of geometry as a whole during the period, from the methods of exhaustion to the introduction of analytical geometry. The book also follows the development of Algebra from its early beginnings in India, then in the Arab world, through its introduction to Europe in the 13th century and how a system of shorthand writing evolved into a refined language of mathematics, leading to the discovery of new truths about equations. Overall, this book is a comprehensive and detailed account of the major developments in mathematics that occurred during this period, providing essential reading for anyone interested in the history of science.
