About this title

Synopsis

This book presents the fundamental principles of plane geometry, the branch of mathematics that studies the relationships between lines, angles, shapes, and their measurements. It is attributed to the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid, and serves as an introduction to the subject. The book explores ideas such as congruence, similarity, area, and volume, and is widely considered one of the most influential works in the history of mathematics. Over the centuries, countless scholars have studied and expanded upon Euclid's ideas, and the book remains an essential resource for students and researchers today.

Product Description

Excerpt from The Elements of Euclid, Vol. 1: Books I to Vi

In the naming of both congruent and similar figures, care has been taken to write the letters which denote corresponding points in a corresponding order. This is a matter of minor importance, but it does not deserve to be neglected, as is too often the case.
