Review:
' ... reading the book remains to be fun since it has nothing lost concerning the witty arguments of its author. Researchers in the field of the development and reception of nineteenth century textbooks on classical geometry in England will profit from this reprint.' Zentralblatt MATH
Book Description:
Euclid and His Modern Rivals is a humorously constructed, yet deeply convincing testament to the Greek mathematician's teachings of elementary geometry. Published in 1879, it appeared in the form of an intentionally unscientific dramatic comedy – Charles Dodgson's attempt to entertain his audience beyond the confining realm of mathematics.

Book Description Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - This classic book is Charles Lutwidge Dodgson¿s 1879 work, ¿Euclid and his Modern Rivals¿. It is a mathematical volume that compares thirteen contemporary geometry textbooks, describing each one in relation to its superiority or inferiority to ¿Euclid's Elements¿. This volume will appeal to those with a keen interest in mathematical education, and would make for a wonderful addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: ¿Preliminaries to Examination of Modern Rivals¿, ¿A Priori reasons for retaining Euclid¿s Manual¿, ¿Manuals which reject Euclid¿s Treatment of Parallels¿, ¿Treatment of Parallels by Methods involving Infinite Series¿, ¿Treatment of Parallels by Angels made with Transversals¿, etc. Many classic books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author. Seller Inventory # 9781406704020
