excellent 4 Nov 1999
By Adella L. Thompson - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
euclid knew how to express the true beauty inherrent in mathmatics with a simple logical progression. Definatly a good contrast for anyone too taken up in the numbers and rules of math, who need to really step back and understand it. Propositions 1.47, 2.9, 2.10, 3.35, and 3.36 are incredibly elegant and simple. the translation itself seems to be accurate enough, and while all of the notes seem to drag a bit in pedantry, they are useful and do not detract from Euclid's work
