Ignace Gaston Pardies - Elemens de Geometrie - 1705

Rare illustrated edition of this mathematical treatise from the end of the 17th century, reissued at the beginning of the 18th century, in which Ignace Gaston Pardies clearly and progressively sets forth the foundations of classical geometry as they were taught in the scientific and educational circles of his time -

The work aims to make accessible the essential principles of Euclidean geometry by structuring learning around precise definitions, axioms, demonstrated propositions and logical exercises intended to train the mind to the rigor of reasoning -

Pardies begins with the fundamental notions of point, line, surface and body, then develops the properties of plane figures such as triangles, circles, polygons and angles -

The author also introduces methods of demonstration designed to accustom the reader to deductive logic, emphasizing the necessity of clarity and precision in mathematical reasoning -
