<b>The subject of Plane Geometry is here presented to the student arranged in six books, and each book is subdivided into propositions. To assist the student in following the steps of the reasoning, references are given to the results already obtained which are required in the demonstration.</b><br /><br />The books cover plane and solid Euclidean geometry, elementary number theory, and incommensurable lines. Elements is the oldest extant large-scale deductive treatment of mathematics. It has proven instrumental in the development of logic and modern science, and its logical rigor was not surpassed until the 19th century.<br /><br />Euclid&#39;s Elements has been referred to as the most successful and influential textbook ever written. It was one of the very earliest mathematical works to be printed after the invention of the printing press and has been estimated to be second only to the Bible in the number of editions published since the first printing in 1482, with the number reaching well over one thousand. For centuries, when the quadrivium was included in the curriculum of all university students, knowledge of at least part of Euclid&#39;s Elements was required of all students. Not until the 20th century, by which time its content was universally taught through other school textbooks, did it cease to be considered something all educated people had read<br /><br />This Original Edition Contains SIX Books:<ul> <li><b>BOOK I.1</b></li> <li><b>BOOK II.90</b></li> <li><b>BOOK III.119</b></li> <li><b>BOOK IV.184</b></li> <li><b>BOOK V.215</b></li> <li><b>BOOK VI.274</b></li> <li><b>BOOK XI.335</b></li> <li><b>BOOK XII.369</b></li> <li><b>NOTES ON EUCLID&#39;S ELEMENTS.377</b></li> <li><b>THE FIRST BOOK.380</b></li> <li><b>THE SECOND BOOK.401</b></li> <li><b>THE THIRD BOOK.408</b></li> <li><b>THE FOURTH BOOK.417</b></li> <li><b>THE FIFTH BOOK.419</b></li> <li><b>THE SIXTH BOOK.425</b></li> <li><b>THE ELEVENTH BOOK.434</b></li> <li><b>THE TWELFTH BOOK.437</b></li> <li><b>APPENDIX.438</b></li></ul>
