Hirsch's Geometry - Meyer Hirsch - Bog

Hirsch's Geometry: Or A Sequel To Euclid is a book written by Meyer Hirsch in 1827. The book is a continuation of Euclid's Elements, one of the most influential works in the history of mathematics. Hirsch's Geometry goes beyond Euclid's work by introducing new concepts and theorems in geometry, such as the properties of conic sections and the theory of parallels. The book is divided into six parts, each covering a different topic in geometry. Part one introduces the basic concepts of geometry, such as points, lines, and angles. Part two covers the properties of triangles and circles, while part three focuses on the properties of conic sections. Part four introduces the theory of parallels, which was a controversial topic in geometry at the time. Part five of the book covers the properties of regular polygons and the construction of regular polygons. Part six is a collection of miscellaneous theorems and problems in geometry. Throughout the book, Hirsch provides detailed proofs of the theorems and concepts presented, making it a valuable resource for students and mathematicians alike. Hirsch's Geometry is an important work in the history of mathematics, as it builds upon the foundations laid by Euclid and expands the field of geometry. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to anyone interested in the subject.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
