Synopsis

An Elementary Treatise On Plane And Solid Geometry is a mathematical textbook written by Benjamin Peirce and first published in 1869. The book is designed to provide a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the principles of plane and solid geometry, covering a range of topics from basic concepts such as points, lines, and angles, to more advanced topics such as conic sections, spherical geometry, and the geometry of space. Peirce's approach is highly systematic and logical, with clear explanations of key concepts and theorems, and numerous examples and exercises to reinforce understanding. The book is divided into two main sections, with the first section focusing on plane geometry and the second section covering solid geometry. Throughout the book, Peirce emphasizes the importance of visualization and intuition in understanding geometric concepts, and provides numerous diagrams and illustrations to aid in this process.Overall, An Elementary Treatise On Plane And Solid Geometry is an essential resource for anyone studying mathematics, physics, or engineering, and remains a classic text in the field 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. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

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.

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.
