A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In this period of education when every study is measured by its vocational value, one must be wise indeed not to be misled into the belief that geometry is of value in the business or industry or profession in which one shall engage, only when its study is interspersed with every conceivable application. Yet the supreme value of demonstrative geometry to a boy or girl or to an older person, consists not in the various ways in which it may be applied, but in the fact that its study, when uninterrupted by extraneous material, gives the ability to think clearly and logically. The development of reason through the use of the mind in reasoning, and the minds inherent self-activity, are therefore two of the unchallenged facts which underly the subject-matter and method of this book. The knowledge and acceptance of these principles are as general as is their disregard. With hardly an exception demonstrative geometries fromE uclid to the present, in method of presentation are essentially Euclidean. Theorem, figure, hypothesis, conclusion, and Q. E. D. ,succeed each other in undeviating order. The results of the use of this method are inevitable. Students naturally mathematical acquire a formal knowledge of geometry and a restricted developCO ment of reason; others develop memory of demonstrations, only.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
