Excerpt from Cours de Math???matique, Vol. 2: G???om???trie, Et Application de l'Algebre A la G???om???trie La plupart des anciens philosophes ont cultiv??? et en fichi la g???om???trie. On attribue ??? Thal???s de Milet (i) le premier usage de la circonf???rence du cercle pour la mesure des angles. Il d???termina la hauteur des pyramides de l'egypte par l'???tendue de leur ombre m???thode qui ne pouvoit avoir d'autre base que la th???orie des.triangles semblables ou des lignes propor???onnelles. Pythagore (z) trouva le fameux th???or???me que le quarr??? _del'hyp???t??? nuse du triangle rectangle est ???gal en surface ??? la somme des quarr???s construits sur les deux autres c???t???s. Il fut si charm??? de cette d???couverte que dans l'ivresse de sa joie sacrifia dit - ou cent boeufs aux dieux pour les remercier de l'avoir si bien inspir???. On a de la peine '??? concilier ce fait avec les id???es religieuses de l'auteur sur la transnfigr??????on des ames mais qu'il soit vrai ou faux on peut affirmer que jamais contentement ne fut plus l???gitime que celui de Pythagore. La proposition dont il s'agit est une des plus belles et des plus f???condes de toute la g???om???trie. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
