{"product_id":"non-euclidean-geometry-9781602064652","title":"Non-Euclidean Geometry","description":"\"Non-Euclidean Geometry is a history of the alternate geometries that have emerged since the rejection of Euclid s parallel postulate. Italian mathematician ROBERTO BONOLA (1874 1911) begins by surveying efforts by Greek, Arab, and Renaissance mathematicians to close the gap in Euclid s axiom. Then, starting with the 17th century, as mathematicians began to question whether it was actually possible to prove Euclid s postulate, he examines non-Euclidean predecessors Saccheri, Lambert, Legendre, W. Bolyai, Wachter, and Thibaut, and non-Euclidean  founders  Gauss, Schweikart, Taurinus, Lobachevski, and J. Bolyai. He concludes with a look at later developments in non-Euclidean geometry. Including five appendices and an index of authors, Bonola s Non-Euclidean Geometry is a useful reference guide for students of mathematical history.\"\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Cosimo Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50515959054610,"sku":"9781602064652","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_1b1d639f-df6e-4a49-80da-9e8f9ffbc551.jpg?v=1731016510","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/non-euclidean-geometry-9781602064652","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
