Book synopsis

Excerpt from Elements of Geometry Pure Geometry may be considered to form the real foundation of mathematical instruction. Some acquaint ance with Arithmetic and Algebra usually precedes its study; but the time necessarily employed in gaining a practical facility in the application of the rules of these branches, leaves little room for the cultivation of the reasoning faculties as they are exercised in Geometry. Geometry rests upon a few simple and self-evident truths; and from these, by the rigid processes of deduco tion, the student of mathematics is afforded a valuable mental discipline, which supplies an important corrective for some of the evils resulting from an exclusive devotion to analysis. Hence its importance as an essential branch of academic instruction. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
