Summary
Details

Euclid'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, 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's Elements was required of all students. The Elements is a mathematical treatise consisting of 13 books attributed to the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid in Alexandria, Ptolemaic Egypt c. 300 BC. It is a collection of definitions, postulates, propositions (theorems and constructions), and mathematical proofs of the propositions. 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. This Original Edition Contains SIX Books, but due to its large volume, the book has been divided into two parts. This book contains part 1 of BOOK5, BOOK6, BOOK7 AND BOOK8 COMPRISING THE FIRST SIX BOOKS AND PORTIONS OF THE ELEVENTH AND TWELFTH BOOKS; WITH NOTES, AN APPENDIX, AND EXERCISES PART1 IS ALSO OUT
