Originally written in 300 BC by Euclid and updated with coloured diagrams and symbols in 1847 by Oliver Byrne, this newly published version of Elements by Art Meets Science is both beautiful and instructional. Euclid laid the foundation for geometry, number theory, and many core concepts of math and logic still used today.
The book consists of the first six books of Euclid's 13, with each book covering a different area of geometry (Basic plane geometry, geometric algebra, circles and angles, regular polygons, ratios and proportions and geometric proportions)
In addition to the colorful illustrations, the book also includes detailed explanations of Euclid's proofs and postulates.
