First Lessons In Geometry (1881)

First Lessons in Geometry is a book written by Thomas Hill and originally published in 1881. The book is intended to serve as an introductory guide to the study of geometry, offering a comprehensive overview of the basic principles and concepts of the subject. The book is divided into three main sections, each of which covers a different aspect of geometry. The first section provides an introduction to the subject, discussing the nature of geometry, its history, and its practical applications. The second section covers the principles of Euclidean geometry, including the properties of points, lines, angles, and planes, as well as the theorems and postulates that govern their relationships. The final section of the book explores the more advanced concepts of geometry, including non-Euclidean geometries and the geometry of higher dimensions.Throughout the book, Hill employs a clear and concise writing style, making it accessible to readers of all levels of mathematical ability. He also includes numerous examples and exercises to help readers develop their understanding of the subject. Overall, First Lessons in Geometry is a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning about geometry, from students and teachers to mathematicians and enthusiasts. Its clear explanations, comprehensive coverage, and practical approach make it an essential addition to any library of mathematical texts.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
