Euclide's Elements ... Compendiously Demonstrated, by I. Barrow. Transl

Euclid's work, renowned for its systematic approach, compiles the knowledge of earlier mathematicians alongside his own theories, establishing a foundation for geometry through precise proofs and a concise set of axioms. Encompassing not just geometry but also number theory, it served as the main mathematics textbook for over two millennia, influencing the field until the late 19th century. This edition features all thirteen books of "Elements," translated by Thomas Heath, highlighting its lasting impact on mathematics.
