The Quadrature Of The Circle: Or The True Ratio Between The Diameter And Circumference Geometrically And Mathematically Demonstrated (1865)

The Quadrature of the Circle by James Smith, published in 1865, is a mathematical treatise that attempts to solve the problem of finding the true ratio between the diameter and circumference of a circle. The book presents both geometric and mathematical demonstrations of this ratio, known as pi, and explores the history and significance of the problem. Smith discusses various attempts throughout history to solve the problem, including those by ancient Greek mathematicians and medieval scholars. He also critiques the methods of some contemporary mathematicians and offers his own approach to the problem. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both scholars and lay readers interested in the history and mathematics of the circle.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
