Strongly recommended for people that love Greek geometry. A lot o thoughtful geometric constructions. Greek geometers ere REALLY brilliant people. ( ) This book and its companion are a real treat for the mathematician, even those who don't read Greek. It is fascinating to see how some of the great proofs were expressed, and what great minds accomplished within the strictures of the counting systems and lack of symbols, such as the proof that the square root of two is irrational. The ancient Greek notation for numbers is amazing, but requires a limited understanding of Greek to appreciate. By comparison, Roman numerals are logical and streamlined! näyttää 2/2 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
