||Description:|| One of the first books published on the subject of fluxions. It provides explanation of the concept of fluxions along with proofs, and a signigicant number of applications in problem solving.
||Note: ||
||Photographs:||
||Significance:|| Fluxions were one of the major concepts, substantially credited to Sir Isaac Newton, that lead to the development of modern calculus. Fluxions are "infinitely small parts," similar to derivatives. Hayes' book was one of the first complete treatises on the subject, published as the controversy raged between Newton and Gottfried von Leibniz over who deserved credit for completing a method of problem solving using infinitesimals.

||Description: || Very old Book, from the 1500's. Is really well maintained for it's age. The ink on the pages bleeds through to the other side a little bit. Covers 16 books of Euclid's Elements. Gives definitions, axioms, common notions, etc. Very thorough representation of Euclid's Elements. As it gets later into the book, John Daye, and John Dee both add notes to the proofs pointing out what Euclid failed to mention. Because, Euclid made assumptions based on what he had already proven, and in some places failed to mention some things. It starts with a preface, written by John Dee, that just basically describes how math is awesome and Euclid was amazing, and some bs about god or something. It refers to Euclid as a philosopher, and not a mathematician. That may just be the way they spoke back then, I don't know. This book is huge, and has a lot of math in it.

||Description: ||Formatted like Euclid's Elements. Starts with definitions, and then goes straight to Propositions. Common Notions and Axioms are assumed from Euclid's Elements. I think this is supposed to be like an extension of Euclid's Elements. It has a pretty cool fold out diagram about every 50 pages that folds out past the pages, so you can look at the diagrams to the right of the pages while you read. It refers to the figures in the text. I tried to read it without the diagrams at first before i figured out that the figures fold out and it was confusing to read. But, once i found the diagrams, I thought it was pretty cool. It deals a lot with parabolas and properties of curvature. The last pages gives a set of directions to the binder, that also works like a table of contents.

||Description: || Covers the first 6 books of Euclid's Elements. Starts with Definitions then Postulates, then Axioms. No mention of the common Notions. And, I thought Axioms were postulates. But, this book has two separate categories for both. After the Elements, Playfair added 32 pages of notes on Euclid's Elements to that point, where he points out interesting mathematics, provides some of his own proofs, and gives detailed descriptions of everything that he changed from the original version of Euclid's Elements stating why he changed Euclid's work. The beginning of the book explains the educational significance of Euclid's Elements, and states that this book is not appropriate for educating children, and that you need to have some background in mathematics before you attempt to study from this book. It gives a list of books that would be appropriate prerequisites. And it explains that over the years, Euclid's Elemnts has evolved over the years from Euclid's original work. And, gives a little bio on Dr. Simson, and his life's work of trying to restore Euclid's Elements to the world. This book represents the work of Euclid's Elements, although several of the proofs were changed by John Playfair, but still are proving the same thing.
||Note: ||Cover is falling off. Front of cover is completely removed. Back cover is barely hanging on. The binding is fairly sturdy for a book that old. (Although it kind of feels like it's going to fall apart in my hands when I flip through the pages.)
