Euclid is considered as the founder of geometry and one of the greatest and most influential mathematicians of all times. His book Data presents a radical new view of geometrical reasoning.
Euclid's Data is the first in order of the books written by the ancient geometers to facilitate and promote the method of resolution or analysis. He uses mathematical statements that serve as a starting point from which other statements are logically derived. His system for rational certainty is useful for the solution of problems of every kind and thus had great influence on the thinking of several major philosophers and intellectuals.
This beautiful, specially for Kindle designed, new edition of Data includes the English translation of Data by Robert Simson, additionally background material and 142 new illustrations by Gerd Moe-Behrens, PhD.
The original text of Data is enriched with Euclid’s biography and portrait, text history, interesting links and an overview over Euclid’s works and main concepts.
