Geometry was revolutionized by Euclid, who introduced mathematical rigor and the axiomatic method still in use today. His book, The Elements is widely considered the most influential textbook of all time, and was known to all educated people in the West until the middle of the 20th century.
This volume consists of a collection of essays on geometry from a historical viewpoint, addressed to the general mathematical community interested in the history of ideas and their evolution.
Geometry is one of the oldest branches of mathematics, and most important among texts is Euclid's Elements. His text begins with 23 23 definitions, 5 5 postulates, and 5 5 common notions.
especially appropriate as the textbook for a geometry course taken by future high school mathematics teachers. WHAT’S NEW IN THE SECOND EDITION? For the benefit of those who have used the first edition of this book, here is a quick summary of what has changed in the second edition.
Overview. Authors: Meighan I. Dillon. Illuminates Euclid’s The Elements and traces the development of modern geometries. Enriches the geometry curriculum with extensions to algebraic curves and quaternions. Reinforces historical results with exercises that explore proof methods of the time.
For these reasons, this book is a chronological introduction to the history of geometry presenting the mathematics alongside the story of those who made the discoveries.
