Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is both a compendium of practical geometry and a treatise on the profound discoveries made by 17th-century mathematician Pierre HÃ rigone, whose method of geometric proportions can be applied to an almost infinite variety of situations relating to geometry and measurement. Rather than relying on classical trigonometry and arithmetic, HÃ rigone devised a system that empowers artisans, architects, and engineers to calculate figures with exceptional accuracy using an innovative device of their own construction: the proportional compass. Expanding upon HÃ rigone's initial discoveries, this book offers an accessible guide to using and understanding this device for solving problems that involve both theoretical and practical applications, such as designing fortifications and reducing maps. Even those with limited mathematical proficiency can employ the proportional compass to derive sophisticated measurements. With its clear organization, engaging explanations, and diversified collection of sample problems, this book is a valuable tool for students of geometry and practitioners in the field. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

"In 1688 Ozanam provided an ample explanation of the use of the proportional compass which Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) had illustrated in his work, "Operations of the geometric and military compass" dated 1606. This instrument. . . was intended to provide a quick means of calculation for all operations pertaining to the art of war, such as ballistics or the measuring or distances and of places. / Ozanam's text . . . is divided into two parts. The first regards the construction and use of the sector, that versatile Galilean instrument of 1596. The second consists in a treatise on the division of surfaces." â" Cigola, p. 229. / "By almost any criterion Ozanam cannot be regarded as a first rate mathematician, even of his own time. But he had a flair for writing and during his career wrote a number of books, some of which were very popular, passing through many editions. [. . .] In short, his contributions consisted of popular treatises and reference works on 'useful and practical mathematics,'" â"William L. Schaaf, DSB X, p. 264. PROVENANCE: Stonor family; A. H. Murray; Michael J. Daley [fl. ca. 1970-75]; Frank W. Cousins (who wrote on sundials (1970) and gyroscopes).
