The use of infinitely small qtiantitieS ywhich was first introduced into the higher departments of Mathematics, has been gradually creeping downwards, and elementary writers are rapidly becoming reconciled to it. But at the same time, the uncompromising advocates of the ancient rigor of demonstration have, by their attacks, induced some mathematicians to waste much time in disguising the principles of theD ifferential Calculus under a form of words, in which the term Hnfinitely small does not occur. The value of this labor may be duly estimated from the inconsistency of one, who has ostensibly discarded the infinitesimal doctrine from his theory of the Calculus, and introduced it into his treatise of Geometry. With all its boasted rigor, the ancient Geometry can indeed lead to no result more accurate, none more to be depended upon, than those of the infinitesimal theory ;and I doubt if any well constituted mind, well constituted at least for mathematical investigations, ever reposes with any more confidence upon the one than upon the other.

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.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to plane geometry, introducing readers to the fundamental concepts, theorems, and constructions that form the basis of this branch of mathematics. The author's approach is both clear and concise, making this book accessible to students of all levels. Beginning with the basics of points, lines, and angles, the author gradually builds on these concepts to cover more advanced topics such as polygons, circles, and triangles. Each chapter includes a wealth of examples and exercises to help reinforce the material, and there are also plenty of proofs and derivations to help readers understand the underlying logic of geometry. The author also takes the time to place geometry within its broader historical context, discussing the contributions of mathematicians such as Euclid and Pythagoras. This helps readers to appreciate the evolution of geometry as a discipline, and to see how it has been used to solve problems in various fields throughout history. Overall, this book is an excellent resource for anyone who wants to learn about plane geometry. The author's clear and engaging writing style makes it a pleasure to read, and the wealth of examples and exercises ensures that readers will have a solid understanding of the material.
