A foundational text in non-Euclidean geometry

Nicholas Lobachevski’s *The Theory of Parallels* presents an early published account of non-Euclidean geometry, a field that revises the assumptions associated with Euclidean geometry. This edition is described as an unabridged printing of the Halsted translation and includes all figures, preserving the work’s mathematical exposition and diagrams. Its subject and format make it a historically significant source for exploring how geometry developed beyond the Euclidean framework.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers studying the history of mathematics and geometry.
  • Those interested in non-Euclidean geometry and its foundational texts.
  • Readers seeking an unabridged edition with the figures included.
