Commentary Index, And Figures [Buy it!]	Alexander Jones	USD 238.98 (Fri Jun 7 16:24:12 2024)	Choosebooks/ZVAB	AHA-BUCH GmbH	ISBN10: 0387962573, ISBN13: 9780387962573, [publisher: Springer New York] Hardcover Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The seventh book of Pappus's Collection, his commentary on the Domain (or Treasury) of Analysis, figures prominently in the history of both ancient and modern mathematics: as our chief source of information concerning several lost works of the Greek geometers Euclid and Apollonius, and as a book that inspired later mathematicians, among them Viete, Newton, and Chasles, to original discoveries in their pursuit of the lost science of antiquity. This presentation of it is concerned solely with recovering what can be learned from Pappus about Greek mathematics. The main part of it comprises a new edition of Book 7; a literal translation; and a commentary on textual, historical, and mathematical aspects of the book. It proved to be convenient to divide the commentary into two parts, the notes to the text and translation, and essays about the lost works that Pappus discusses. The first function of an edition of this kind is, not to expose new discoveries, but to present a reliable text and organize the accumulated knowledge about it for the reader's convenience. Nevertheless there are novelties here. The text is based on a fresh transcription of Vat. gr. 218, the archetype of all extant manuscripts, and in it I have adopted numerous readings, on manuscript authority or by emendation, that differ from those of the old edition of Hultsch. Moreover, many difficult parts of the work have received little or no commentary hitherto. [Einbeck, Germany] [Publication Year: 1986] Show/Hide image

From the Dust Jacket: "In 1845, Sir John Franklin and his crew of 128 men set out from England in search of the elusive Northwest Passage. They sailed to the Canadian Arctic in two massive ships ominously named the Erebus and the Terror; it was the most heralded expedition of the era. Yet they vanished into the frozen north and were never heard from again. Now acclaimed historian Martin Sandler finally reveals the entire scope of this epic tale... At the urging of Franklin's indomitable wife, Lady Jane, the first search-and-rescue mission left England in 1848. Over the next forty years many others followed -- none successful... Among the ships that set sail in search of Franklin was Queen Victoria's greatest naval vessel, the HMS Resolute. But when the ship became locked in Arctic ice in 1854, the expedition leader abruptly ordered the crew to abandon her. A year later, a Connecticut whaler discovered the Resolute, drifting and deserted.". First Printing of the First Edition.. Hard Cover.
