Elementa Geometriae

Elementa Geometriae, written in Latin by William Sanders and published in 1686, presents a concise and accessible demonstration of geometry using natural and straightforward methods. This historical text includes an appendix on measuring elementary figures using indivisible methods, along with logarithms and both plane and spherical trigonometry adapted for beginners. Designed for students, this volume offers insights into the mathematical practices and educational approaches of the late 17th century. Its enduring value lies in its clear exposition of fundamental geometric principles and its reflection of the scientific thought of its time. "Elementa Geometriae" remains a valuable resource for those interested in the history of mathematics and science.
