This paper introduces an anonymous and undated Arabic version of Euclid’s . It tries to determine its relationship to the textual history of the Arabic as known today. The value of the version, the paper argues, is its close relationship to the works of the first known translator of Euclid’s into Arabic, al-Ḥajjāj b.Yūsuf b.Maṭar, the light it sheds on philosophical debates surrounding the , and the new textual basis (BooksI toIX with some lacunae) it yields for the further study of...

From Euclid's Elements to the methodology of mathematics. Two ways of viewing mathematical theory

Piotr Błaszczyk (2018)

Annales Universitatis Paedagogicae Cracoviensis | Studia ad Didacticam Mathematicae Pertinentia

Similarity:

We present two sets of lessons on the history of mathematics designed for prospective teachers: (1) Euclid's Theory of Area, and (2) Euclid's Theory of Similar Figures. They aim to encourage students to think of mathematics by way of analysis of historical texts. Their historical content includes Euclid's Elements, Books I, II, and VI. The mathematical meaning of the discussed propositions is simple enough that we can focus on specific methodological questions, such as (a) what makes...
