Euclid's Elements Book One with Questions for Discussion

Sure, you already learned plane and spherical geometry in high school so why Euclid? Well, this is a work of sheer beauty and elegance. It's not as much about the mathematical concepts as it is about the thought poatterns and logic used to reach a conclusion.Dana Densmore's gestions and notes really help you think about this as a part of a greater whole -- not just math, but humanities and philosophy.

This is a very useful guide for getting started with Euclid's Elements. This has nice questions and tips not found anywhere else. I felt a bit lost when first approaching the Elements, but this book is helping me to get started properly, for full digestion of the material.

I liked its reach beyond the prosaic. Math is not just getting the answer right.

Euclid is a cornerstone to logic and a foundation to mathematics. What made Hilbert and Einstein see this as a phenomenal work in logic that they both referred to it in their own thinking?Densmore leads us into the fundamentals in a profound way, fleshing out the nuances and the inner means that the original text put forth. The author takes us beyond the dry proofs, giving light and insight into why this is one of the greatest text in the Western world. While being straightforward, the author takes us into the inner meanings and connects the dots of Euclid's 454 proofs.I recommend it for all those who love Euclid and mathematics. Bravo!

This ain’t philosophy, it’s friggin math, bro.

Extremely useful guide, helping you dig deeper into the text.

A lot of the questions were just statements or answers to the the questions it poses.
