Euclid was a mathematician from the Greek city of Alexandria who lived during the 4th and 3rd century B.C. and is often referred to as the “father of geometry”. Within his foundational treatise “Elements,” Euclid presents the results of earlier mathematicians and includes many of his own theories in a systematic, concise book that utilized a brief set of axioms and meticulous proofs to solidify his deductions. In addition to its easily referenced geometry, “Elements” also includes number theory and other mathematical considerations. For centuries, this work was a primary textbook of mathematics, containing the only framework for geometry known by mathematicians until the development of “non-Euclidian” geometry in the late 19th century. The extent to which Euclid’s “Elements” is of his own original authorship or borrowed from previous scholars is unknown, however despite this fact it was his collation of these basic mathematical principles for which most of the world would come to the study of geometry. Today, Euclid's “Elements” is acknowledged as one of the most influential mathematical texts in history. This volume includes all thirteen books of Euclid's “Elements”, is printed on premium acid-free paper, and follows the translation of Thomas Heath.

Don't buy the hardcover edition.
The hardcover edition cover and dust jacket have the correct title, but as you can see from the first image it isonly Vol II and contains only books III thru IX.

I used this book among two dozen others in a major paper (I guess 30 pages is major?) last year. I learned little about mathematics in general -- but a lot about how the ancients experienced it and how they taught it. That is fascinating.

This book is in fact one of three which is not stated in this advert. The advert clearly indicates it is a one volume work, with no mention of other volumes. The publisher is being recalcitrant about accepting it back and re-funding the purchase: prospective purchasers beware of this and all volumes from this publisher
