Elements Of Plane And Solid Geometry (1885)

Elements of Plane and Solid Geometry is a comprehensive textbook on geometry written by George Albert Wentworth and first published in 1885. The book covers both plane and solid geometry, providing a detailed and thorough exploration of the subject matter. It is divided into two main parts, with the first part focusing on plane geometry and the second part covering solid geometry.The text begins with an introduction to the basic concepts of geometry, including points, lines, angles, and planes. It then progresses to more advanced topics such as congruence, similarity, and the properties of circles. The second part of the book covers solid geometry, including the properties of prisms, pyramids, cylinders, cones, and spheres.Throughout the book, Wentworth uses clear and concise language to explain complex concepts, making it accessible for both beginners and advanced students of geometry. The book also includes numerous diagrams and illustrations to help visualize the concepts being discussed.Overall, Elements of Plane and Solid Geometry is a classic textbook on geometry that remains relevant and useful today. Its clear explanations and thorough coverage of the subject matter make it an excellent resource for students, teachers, and anyone interested in the study of geometry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
