Book Description

Publication Date: March 29, 2004 | Series: Dover Books on Mathematics

The author of Alice in Wonderland (and an Oxford professor of mathematics) employs the fanciful format of a play set in Hell to take a hard look at late-19th-century interpretations of Euclidean geometry. Carroll's penetrating observations on geometry are accompanied by ample doses of his famous wit. 1885 edition.

Editorial Reviews

Book Description

Euclid and His Modern Rivals is a humorously constructed, yet deeply convincing testament to the Greek mathematician's teachings of elementary geometry. Published in 1879, it appeared in the form of an intentionally unscientific dramatic comedy - Charles Dodgson's attempt to entertain his audience beyond the confining realm of mathematics. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
