| It should be noted that this is one of a two volume set. This author also compiled and commented upon The Elements of Euclid in three volumes [also available here]. These works were first brought to my attention by my Greek language professor nearly 40 years ago as the best English language source on Greek Mathematics. Just as the Greeks did not view `pure' mathematics or geometry as a lifes-work so to younger readers [through collage] the methods of logic may prove most useful. For we retired `geezers' not quite ready for Oprah reruns and made for T.V. `romances' it may be the stimulation of the brain by the problems [which are documented and solved in full], the history and the `awe' of how much these did `without computers'; |
