Description

Lectiones OpticÃ] & GeometricÃ], originally published in 1674, explores the genuine reasons behind optical phenomena and elucidates general symptoms of curved lines. Authored by Isaac Barrow, with contributions from Isaac Newton and John Collins, this historical text delves into the principles of optics and geometry, offering insights into the scientific understanding of the 17th century. The work investigates and expounds on the true causes of optical phenomena, further declaring the general characteristics of curved lines.

This edition stands as a testament to the enduring importance of early scientific inquiry and mathematical exploration. It provides valuable insights into the development of optics and geometry, making it an essential resource for historians of science, mathematicians, and anyone interested in the intellectual foundations of modern science. This volume once belonged to John Adams, adding to its historical significance.
