Product Description
The Book of Squares by Fibonacci is a gem in the mathematical literature and one of the most important mathematical treatises written in the Middle Ages.It is a collection of theorems on indeterminate analysis and equations of second degree which yield, among other results, a solution to a problem proposed by Master John of Palermo to Leonardo at the Court of Frederick II.The book was dedicated and presented to the Emperor at Pisa in 1225.Dating back to the 13th century the book exhibits the early and continued fascination of men with our number system and the relationship among numbers with special properties such as prime numbers, squares, and odd numbers.The faithful translation into modern English and the commentary by the translator make this book accessible to professional mathematicians and amateurs who have always been intrigued by the lure of our number system. ...

Extrait : Galilée, en italien : , est un physicien et astronome italien du siècle, né à Pise le 15 février 1564 et mort à Arcetri près de Florence, le 8 janvier 1642. Il est célèbre pour avoir jeté les fondements des sciences mécaniques ainsi que pour sa défense opiniâtre de la conception copernicienne de l'univers.

Le livre consiste d'articles Wikipedia sur : Robert Grossetête, Joannes de Sacrobosco, Leonardo Fibonacci, Campanus de Novare. Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Robert Grossetête ou Grosseteste, dit aussi Robert de Lincoln, est un érudit anglais, séculier proche de l'Ordre franciscain, évêque de Lincoln, né vers 1175 et mort en 1253. Une première Renaissance de l'Europe, assez timide, eut lieu aux et siècles, peu de temps après l'impulsion donnée par Gerbert d'Aurillac (Sylvestre II) qui y ramena d'Espagne les chiffres arabes, l'abaque et l'astrolabe. Si cette Première Renaissance commence avec Pierre Abélard, un autre de ses représentants est Robert Grossetête. Les centres intellectuels de l'Europe à l'époque semblent avoir été l'École de Chartres, Paris et Oxford, cette dernière ville donnant à l'Europe Roger Bacon. Mais celui-ci ne se reconnaissait en dehors du monde antique qu'un maître, qui était Grossetête - bien que les deux hommes ne se soient pas rencontrés. Robert GrossetesteNé en 1175, il étudie à Oxford et à Paris. En 1224, il devient chancelier de l'université, en 1230 il enseigne au studium franciscain d'Oxford d'où sortira 20 ans plus tard Roger Bacon. Passionné de grec dont il encouragea l'étude, il traduit lui-même l'Éthique à Nicomaque et les œuvres du Pseudo-Denys l'Aréopagite, effectue plusieurs commentaires sur l'œuvre d'Aristote, et fait venir à Oxford des lettrés de plusieurs pays - y compris la Grèce - en leur demandant d'apporter avec eux tout ce qui leur était possible comme traités de grammaire - ce qui contribue à asseoir la réputation de cette université. Il confirme la rotondité de la Terre indiquée par Ptolémée, mais ajoute des explications naturelles indiquant que les planètes doivent être rondes elles aussi....http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ...

Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Leonardo Pisano Bogollo (c. 1170 - c. 1250) also known as Leonardo of Pisa, Leonardo Pisano, Leonardo Bonacci, Leonardo Fibonacci, or, most commonly, simply Fibonacci, was an Italian mathematician, considered by some "the most talented western mathematician of the Middle Ages." Fibonacci is best known to the modern world for the spreading of the Hindu-Arabic numeral system in Europe, primarily through the publication in the early 13th century of his Book of Calculation, the Liber Abaci; and for a number sequence named after him known as the Fibonacci numbers, which he did not discover but used as an example in the Liber Abaci. Leonardo Fibonacci was born around 1170 to Guglielmo Fibonacci, a wealthy Italian merchant. Guglielmo directed a trading post (by some accoun...http://booksllc.net/?l=de ... Read more

Product Description

This book deals with one of the earliest surviving "abbacus" treatises, one that is by far more orderly than any of the extant predecessors and is also the first to contain a presentation of algebra. The book contains an edition and an English translation of a manuscript from c. 1450. In addition, it features an extensive discussion of the contents of the treatise and its location within early abbacus culture.
