Simson, Robert – Kimber & Conrad, 1809
This textbook is a course in Euclidian geometry conic sections. It was translated by the original Latin, and was revised, corrected and enlarged.
Descriptors: Textbooks, Geometry, Mathematics Instruction
Loomis, Elias – Harper & Brothers, Publishers, 1871
This textbook commences with a brief sketch of the history of Elementary Geometry. The definitions throughout have been somewhat amplified, and several notes have been added which it is hoped may be found useful and suggestive. The subject of Ratio has been expanded; a few new propositions have been added; and there is a considerable collection of…

Playfair, John – W. E. Dean : Collins, Keese & Co., 1840
This textbook is designed to be used in a geometry course incorporating the writings of Euclid. The object of this edition now offered to the public, is not so much to give the writings of Euclid the form which they originally had, as that which may at present render them most useful. The author believes that the use of algebraic signs and…

Simson, Robert – Printed for E. Wingrove and J. Balfour, 1793
This textbook covers the first six books of the elements of Euclid, the 11th and 12th books, and the book of Euclid's data. Elements of plane and spherical trigonometry are included.

Flint, Abel – Belknap and Hamersley, 1839
This textbook covers geometry and trigonometry with addition of a fuller explanation of rectangular surveying, as well as a more particular explanation of the use of natural sines. The book's primary goal is teaching common field surveying. This edition adds practical matter, as well as the only table of natural tangents ever published in this…

Brewster, David – Wiley & Long and others, 1835
This textbook covers geometry and trigonometry and presents problems for student consideration. Geometry principles are applied to surface and solid measurement. Tables of logarithms and logarithmic sines are included. [This book was translated from the French of A. M. Legendre. It was revised and abridged by Charles Davies.]

Bledsoe, Albert Taylor – J.B. Lippincott Company, 1868
This textbook presents readings in geometry and the theory of infinitesimals.
Descriptors: Textbooks, Mathematics Instruction, Geometry, Mathematical Concepts
Legendre, A. M. – A.S. Barnes & H.L. Burr, 1864
This textbook covers geometry and trigonometry and presents problems for student consideration. Contents include geometry, plane trigonometry, analytical trigonometry, spherical trigonometry, and mensuration. [This book was adapted by Charles Davies.]

Legendre, A. M. – A.S. Barnes & Company, 1842
This textbook presents principles, ratios and proportions, the circle and measurement of angles, the proportions of figures and the measurement of areas, regular polygons and measurement of the circle, planes and solid angles, polyhedrons, the three round bodies, spherical triangles and spherical polygons, regular polyhedrons, plane and spherical…

Davies, Charles – A.S. Barnes & Company, 1842
This textbook presents definitions and remarks, axioms, properties of polygons, ratios and proportions, planes and their angles, measurement of areas and proportions of figures, solids, and mensuration of surfaces, solids, and round bodies.

Emerson, W. – Printed for J. Nourse, 1763
Since all manner of quantities require to be compared together, in mathematical computations, and their various relations searched out and determined and as most of our knowledge in mathematical subjects depends on the proportions of several things to one another: so it is requisite that the nature of proportion, and the methods of reasoning…

Flint, Abel, Comp. – Oliver D. Cooke, 1813
This work is chiefly a compilation from other books; and but very little new is added except a more full explanation, than has yet been published, of rectangular surveying, or the method of calculating the area of fields arithmetically, without drawing a plot of them and measuring with a scale and dividers, as has been the common practice; and…

Miller, William A.; Clason, Robert G. – Mathematics Teacher, 1994
Presents lesson plans for activities to introduce recursive sequences of polygons: golden triangles, regular pentagons, and pentagrams. The resulting number patterns involve Fibonacci sequences. Includes reproducible student worksheets. (MKR)

Breslich, Ernst R. – Macmillan Company, 1925
his is the second volume of a series of textbooks on junior high-school mathematics. Like the first volume, it is organized on the principles that were stated in the preface of Book One. Geometry is the basis of the first part of this course. By actual measurement formulas are developed for finding the areas of triangles, quadrilaterals, and the…
