Apollonius of Perga - Treatise on Conic Sections
Author: Thomas Little Heath
Publisher: Carruthers Press
ISBN: 1446021262
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 426
Book Description
Despite being generally unknown to the greats of contemporary mathematics, Apollonius s Conics is said by Chasles to contain the most interesting properties of conics . Written by one of the great pioneers of geometry, this scarce text contains a comprehensive account of the mathematics of conics, and as such constitutes a valuable to addition to the libraries of serious mathematicians and historians alike. Apollonius of Perga was a Greek geometer and astronomer, most famous for his work pertaining to conic sections and whose methodology and terminology influenced such intellectual giants as Ptolemy, Johannes Kepler, Francesco Maurolico, Isaac Newton, and Rene Descartes. This rare text is proudly republished here with an introductory biography of the author."

Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 9780821884324
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
"Geometry Of Conics deals with the properties of conics (plane curves of second degree) that can be formulated and proved using only elementary geometry. Starting with the well-known optical properties of conics, this book moves to less trivial results, both classical and contemporary. It demonstrates the advantage of purely geometric methods of studying conics."--Publisher's website.

Conics
Author: Apollonius (of Perga.)
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 114
Book Description
A first English translation of Book IV of Apollonius's Conics, translated and annotated by Michael N. Fried, as a companion volume to our edition of Conics Books I-III. Conics IV deals with the way pairs of conic sections can intersect or touch each other. In his Introduction to the translation, Fried shows that this book has been misappraised by scholars too much inclined to see Apollonius's work merely as a precursor to the analytic geometry of the seventeenth century. He writes, Playfulness is one of the real delights of Book IV. One can see in this playfulness the artful way Apollonius contends with the main challenge of the book -the problem of how the opposite sections, specifically, meet other sections of a cone and other opposite sections - how he gives this problem both foundation and context."
