A Treatise On Elementary Geometry - William Chauvenet - Bog

""A Treatise On Elementary Geometry"" is a comprehensive textbook on geometry written by William Chauvenet in 1879. The book covers a wide range of topics in elementary geometry, including the properties of lines, angles, triangles, circles, polygons, and solids. It also includes appendices with a collection of exercises for students to practice and an introduction to modern geometry.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a specific topic in geometry. The first chapter introduces the basic concepts of geometry, such as points, lines, and angles. The subsequent chapters cover topics such as triangles, circles, polygons, and solids, with each chapter building on the concepts introduced in the previous one.The appendices contain a collection of exercises for students to practice, which range in difficulty from simple to complex. These exercises are designed to help students develop their problem-solving skills and to reinforce the concepts they have learned in the book.The introduction to modern geometry included in the appendices provides an overview of the developments in geometry that occurred in the 19th century. This section covers topics such as non-Euclidean geometries and projective geometry.Overall, ""A Treatise On Elementary Geometry"" is a comprehensive and well-organized textbook that covers all the essential topics in elementary geometry. It is an excellent resource for students and teachers alike, and provides a solid foundation for further study in geometry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
