Description
The Pythagorean Triangle: Or The Science of Numbers is a book written by Reverend George Oliver. It is a comprehensive guide to the Pythagorean theorem, which is a fundamental concept in mathematics that states that the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides of a right-angled triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse. The book provides a detailed explanation of the theorem and its applications, as well as its historical significance and the role it played in the development of mathematics. It also explores the Pythagorean philosophy and its relationship to numbers, geometry, and the natural world. The book is intended for students, teachers, and anyone interested in mathematics, philosophy, and the history of science. It is written in a clear and accessible style, with numerous examples and illustrations to help readers understand the concepts presented. Overall, The Pythagorean Triangle is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of mathematics and its place in human history and culture.Contents: The Pythagorean Triangle Explained, with a Dissertation on the Peculiarities of Masonic Number; The Monad or Point Discussed as the Origin of All Calculation; The Duad or Line Exemplified; Illustration of the Triad or Superfice; (The Superfice, or Equilateral Triangle, Triad, Ternary, or the Number Three); Progressive Generation of the Tetrad or Solid, Representing Fire; Geometrical Application of the Pentad or Pyramid, Representing Water; Infinite Divisibility of the Hexad or Double Triangle, Representing Earth; Remarkable Properties of the Heptad; Mysterious References of the Ogdoad or Cube, Representing Air; Ancient Superstitions Attached to the Ennead or Triple Triangle; Perfect Nature of the Decad or Circle, and the Application of the Dodecaedron as a Representation of the System of the Universe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
