Description from the seller

Originally published in 1794, Adrien-Marie Legendre's Elements of Geometry revolutionized the teaching of the subject by simplifying Euclid's rigor through the introduction of algebra and arithmetic. The work contains its famous "Notes," including its historical attempts to prove Euclid's fifth postulate on parallels.
