A propos de l'auteur

Little is known about the life of Euclid, an important Greek mathematician. He lived at Alexandria, in the time of the first Ptolemy, 323-283 B.C. He was the founder of a school of mathematics there. Euclid's compilation of the major results of ancient geometry in a comprehensive axiomatic afficher plus framework remains a classic and easily the most influential scientific work of all time. Beginning with definitions, axioms, and postulates, the Elements deduces hundreds of general theorems about plane and solid geometry, including the famous Pythagorean theorem. It is claimed that, when asked by King Ptolemy if he could make his solutions easier to follow, Euclid said, "There is no royal road to geometry," In 1570, Sir Henry Billingsley first translated the Elements into English.

I am very nearly mathematically illiterate (which has to do with one's visual memory), so why not start at the beginning? My taste in art tends towards the geometrical and abstract, so it's good to delve into The Elements. P.S. I am culling my library and feeding my Little Free Library. Enjoy! P.P.S. Formally diagnosed with dyscalculia & autism. Great, important text which it would take me too much time to understand, if I could understand it all, alas.

Some praise for the Green Lion edition: they carry the diagrams on as long as needed -- that is, if a proof has a diagram, the diagram will appear on every page the proof occupies, saving you having to flip back and forth. Simple and brilliant.

It's also printed on nice paper and, overall, is a really swell edition. I suppose it can be argued that Heath's translation is out of date but ... has anyone done a better one?

While the commentary throughout exhibits some fantastic insights, the curious reader may find themselves less interested in the simplicity put forth by Euclid and more focused on dissecting the extensive tangents of Mr. Heath. Regardless, the general content is still very much in tact and solely focusing on it will no doubt reveal much to any reader of any mathematical background.
