The Thirteen Books of the Elements, Vol. 3 (Dover Books on Mathematics)

This is the definitive edition of one ofÂ the very greatest classics of all timeâ€”the full Euclid, not an abridgement. Utilizing the text established by Heiberg, Sir Thomas Heath encompasses almost 2500 years of mathematical and historical study upon Euclid.
This unabridged republication of the original enlarged edition contains theÂ complete English text of all 13 booksÂ of the Elements, plus a critical apparatus which analyzes each definition, postulate, andÂ proposition in great detail. It covers textual and linguistic matters; mathematical anayses of Euclid's ideas; classical, medieval, Renaissance, modern commentators; refutations, supports, extrapolations, reinterpretations, and historical notes, all given with extensive quotes.
"The textbook that shall really replace Euclid has not yet been written and probably never will be," Encyclopaedia Britannica.
