Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a critical analysis of the foundational work in geometry by the Greek mathematician Euclid. The author examines the historical development of the text, from its origins in the 4th century BC to its widespread use and influence in the centuries that followed. The book delves into the scholarly debate surrounding the edition of Euclid's Elements by the mathematician Theon of Alexandria in the 4th century AD. Through a thorough examination of various manuscript traditions, the author argues that Theon's edition significantly altered the original work, introducing interpolations and revisions that have shaped our understanding of Euclidean geometry. The author's meticulous analysis provides valuable insights into the evolution of mathematical thought and the transmission of knowledge through the ages. The book not only sheds light on the historical development of geometry but also raises important questions about the nature of authorship, the role of editors, and the integrity of ancient texts. 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. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9780366079254_0
