""Elements of Plane Geometry, According to Euclid: As Improved by Simson and Playfair, with Several New Improvements and Additions"" is a book written by Andrew Bell and published in 1837. The book is a comprehensive guide to the principles and concepts of plane geometry, as laid out by the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid. The author has made use of the works of other prominent mathematicians, such as Simson and Playfair, to improve upon Euclid's original text. The book includes several new improvements and additions that make the subject matter more accessible and easier to understand for modern readers.The book is divided into several sections, each of which covers a different aspect of plane geometry. The first section covers the basic principles of geometry, including definitions, postulates, and axioms. The subsequent sections cover topics such as lines, angles, triangles, quadrilaterals, circles, and polygons. Throughout the book, the author provides clear and concise explanations of the various concepts and principles, along with numerous examples and illustrations to help readers better understand the material. The book also includes a glossary of terms and a comprehensive index to aid in navigation and reference.Overall, ""Elements of Plane Geometry, According to Euclid: As Improved by Simson and Playfair, with Several New Improvements and Additions"" is an invaluable resource for anyone studying or teaching plane geometry, and remains a classic text in the field of mathematics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
