Elements of Geometry, After Legendre,: With a Selection of Geometrical Exercises, and Hints for the Solution of the Same (1881)

By Adrien-Marie Legendre and Charles S. Venable

Book Overview

""Elements of Geometry, After Legendre"" is a book written by Adrien Marie Legendre in 1881. The book is a comprehensive guide to geometry, covering all the essential topics and concepts in the subject. It is based on the work of the French mathematician Adrien-Marie Legendre, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest mathematicians of all time.The book is divided into several sections, each of which covers a different aspect of geometry. The first section introduces the basic concepts of points, lines, and planes, and explains how they can be used to describe the properties of geometric figures. The second section covers Euclidean geometry, which is the study of the properties of shapes in two and three dimensions.The book also includes a selection of geometrical exercises, which are designed to help readers develop their problem-solving skills. These exercises cover a wide range of topics, from basic geometry to more advanced concepts such as trigonometry and calculus.In addition to the exercises, the book also provides hints and tips for solving them. These hints are designed to help readers develop their own problem-solving strategies, and to encourage them to think creatively about the problems they encounter.Overall, ""Elements of Geometry, After Legendre"" is an essential resource for anyone studying geometry. It provides a clear and concise introduction to the subject, and is packed with exercises and hints that will help readers develop their skills and deepen their understanding 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.
