Synopsis

""New Elements of Geometry"" is a comprehensive book written by Seba Smith that explores the philosophy, demonstrations, and harmonies of geometry. The book is divided into three parts, each of which delves into a specific aspect of geometry. The first part of the book explores the philosophy of geometry, discussing the nature of space, the principles of geometry, and the relationship between geometry and other branches of mathematics. The second part of the book focuses on demonstrations in geometry, providing detailed explanations and illustrations of various geometric concepts and theorems. The third part of the book discusses the harmonies of geometry, exploring the relationship between geometry and other fields such as music, art, and architecture. Throughout the book, Smith uses clear and concise language to explain complex concepts, making it accessible to readers with varying levels of mathematical knowledge. ""New Elements of Geometry"" is a valuable resource for students, teachers, and anyone interested in the fascinating world of geometry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Some thirty years ago, while in college, I had paid some little attention toG eometry, haying gone with my class through three or four of the fifteen books of Euclid sE lements. But the knowledge obtained, even of the few books read, was somewhat superficial; and pursuits in after-life not requiring exercise in the science, thirty years disuse had suffered every demonstration and almost every principle derived firom Euclid to fade from the mind. A bout two years and a half ago, John A. Parker, Esq., of New York, a gentleiiian whose life had mainly been passed in mercantile and commercial pursuits, applied to me, as an old acquaintance and friend, to examine some original papers, in which he claimed to have solved the most celebrated problem in mathematics, the quadrature of the drde. He had several years before discovered what he believed to be the true ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, and had, during the interval, made repeated endeavors to have his papers examined, and his positions acknowledged by mathematicians. But he had found very few to give them even a slight examination, and none to concede ther truth of his conclusions. I took up his papers and read them with great care. I was at once much impressed with the boldness, strength, and originality of his reasoiting, and finally convinced of the truth of his solution of that remarka- ble problem, which had long since been pronounced by mathematicians and learned societies as an impossibility.
