GEOMETRY FOR AN ORAL TRADITION

This book demonstrates the kind of system that could have existed before literacy was widespread and takes us from first principles to theorems on elementary properties of circles. It presents direct, immediate and easily understood proofs. These are based on only one

assumption (that magnitudes are unchanged by motion) and three additional provisions (a means of drawing figures, the language used and the ability to recognise valid reasoning). It includes discussion on the relevant philosophy of mathematics and is written both for mathematicians and for a wider audience.

Author: A. P. Nicholas, 1999. Paperback.132 pages, A4 size.ISBN 1 902517 05 9

THE CIRCLE REVELATION
