Treatise on the Circle and the Sphere e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Every writer knows that the pleasantest part of his task consists in writing the preface, for here he has a chance to express his gratitude to the generous friends who have helped him with suggestion and counsel. The present author would especially mention his colleague Professor Maxime bocher, who kindly read the proof of Ch. VIII, and his former pupil Dr. David Barrow, who not only supplied much of the material in Oh. XIV but also did yeoman service in unearth ing mistakes in various parts of the work. Another pupil, Dr. Roger Johnson, has kindly suggested a number of minor corrections, mostly of a bibliographical nature. Yet the greatest debt is not to any one of these.
