Elementary Synthetic Geometry (1892)

By George Bruce Halsted

Book Overview

Elementary Synthetic Geometry is a book written by George Bruce Halsted and first published in 1892. The book is a comprehensive guide to the principles and concepts of synthetic geometry, which is a branch of mathematics that deals with the study of geometric figures and their properties using only basic principles and axioms.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a different aspect of synthetic geometry. The first chapter introduces the basic concepts of points, lines, and planes, as well as the axioms that underlie the study of geometry. Subsequent chapters cover topics such as angles, triangles, circles, and polygons, and provide detailed explanations of the properties and relationships of these geometric figures.Throughout the book, Halsted uses clear and concise language to explain complex mathematical concepts, making the material accessible to readers of all levels of mathematical proficiency. The book also includes numerous diagrams and illustrations to help readers visualize the geometric figures and concepts being discussed.Elementary Synthetic Geometry is a classic text in the field of mathematics, and has been used by generations of students and teachers as a comprehensive guide to the principles and concepts of synthetic geometry. It remains an important resource for anyone interested in the study of mathematics or geometry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
