OverviewExcerpt from Elements of Geometry: With Practical Applications, for the Use of Schools It is proper here to observe that the circle is uniform ly treated in the following work, as a regular polygon of an infinite number of sides. This has done more than all other expedients, to reduce the dimensions of the work, without diminishing the number of results. If this principle had not been introduced, and the properties of the circle and figures depending upon it had been demonstrated by the usual method of a reductio ad absurdum, at least thirty pages more would have been necessary to obtain the same results as are here obtained. This appeared to be a sufficient rea son for introducing it.

If the student should read this before studying the body of the work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
