Σελίδα 4 - If a straight line meets two straight lines, so as to " make the two interior angles on the same side of it taken " together less than two right angles...
Σελίδα 11 - Assuming as an axiom that two straight lines which cut one another cannot both be parallel to the same straight line ; deduce Euclid's twelfth axiom as a corollary of Euc.
Σελίδα 25 - AF, to the not-cutting lines, as AG, we must come upon a line AH, parallel to DC, a boundary line, upon one side of which all lines AG are such as do not meet the line DC, while upon the other side every straight line AF cuts the line DC. The angle HAD between the parallel HA and the perpendicular AD is called the parallel angle (angle of parallelism), which we will here designate by f] (p) for AD = p. If H (p) is a right angle, so will the prolongation AE...
Σελίδα 13 - CD are crossed by a transversal (see figure on page 42), if the sum of the interior angles on one side of the transversal is...
Σελίδα 44 - Whitehead in his Universal Algebra, § 262, recurs to this important point, saying, "The idea of a space of one type as a locus in space of another type, and of dimensions higher by one, is due partly to J. Bolyai, and partly to Beltrami. Bolyai points out that the relations between lines formed by great circles on a two-dimensional limit-surface are the same as those of straight lines in a Euclidean plane of two dimensions. "Beltrami proves, by the use of the pseudosphere, that a...
Σελίδα 6 - The state of the exact sciences proves, says Mr. Gladstone, that, as respects religion " the association of these two ideas...
