Excerpt from Euclid's Elements of Geometry: To Which Is Added a Compendium of Algebra, Also a Compendium of Trigonometry
The First Book of Euclid gives the definitions, axioms, and postulates, requisite for establishing the Propositions; it treats of right lines, triangles, The Forty-eight Propositions here set before us should be well grounded in the memory of every student, before advancing a step beyond them; at the same time becoming acquainted with the Algebra, as set forth in this publication.
The Second Book lays before us the equality between squares and right-angled figures, or squares constructed on the parts of any divided line, 850.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive guide to Euclid's Elements, a foundational text originally written for teaching geometry. It combines the original principles set forth by Euclid with helpful algebraic techniques to offer a clear and comprehensive understanding of geometry. Additional definitions in Algebra introduce the student to the subject, with subsequent chapters offering methods to prove propositions for both geometry and algebra, including fractions, extraction of roots, and equations of the first and second degree. The author has also included sections on arithmetic and trigonometry to further develop the student's mathematical skillset. By combining multiple branches of mathematics in one volume, the author provides a deeper understanding of the relationships and applications of mathematics in the real world, particularly within science and engineering.
