Book DescriptionCuriosa Mathematica, Part 1: A New Theory Of Parallels is a book written by Charles L. Dodgson, better known as Lewis Carroll, in 1890. The book presents a new theory on the concept of parallels in geometry. Dodgson argues that Euclid's fifth postulate, which states that through a point not on a given line, only one line can be drawn parallel to the given line, is not necessary in geometry. Instead, he proposes a new theory that allows for the possibility of multiple lines being parallel to a given line through a point not on that line. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on the theory of parallels and the second part exploring other mathematical curiosities. The book is written in a conversational and accessible style, with Dodgson using examples and analogies to explain his theories. Curiosa Mathematica, Part 1: A New Theory Of Parallels is a significant work in the history of mathematics, as it challenged the traditional Euclidean geometry and opened up new avenues for exploration in the field. The book is also notable for being written by Lewis Carroll, who is best known for his children's books such as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
