Elementary Synthetic Geometry of the Point, Line and Circle in the PlaneElementary Synthetic Geometry of the Point, Line and Circle in the Plane by Nathan Fellowes Dupuis, first published in 1889, is a rare manuscript, the original residing in one of the great libraries of the world. This book is a reproduction of that original, which has been scanned and cleaned by state-of-the-art publishing tools for better readability and enhanced appreciation. Restoration Editors' mission is to bring long out of print manuscripts back to life. Some smudges, annotations or unclear text may still exist, due to permanent damage to the original work. We believe the literary significance of the text justifies offering this reproduction, allowing a new generation to appreciate it. |
