Book Description

Green Lion Press has prepared a new one-volume edition of T.L. Heath's translation of the thirteen books of Euclid's Elements. In keeping with Green Lion's design commitment, diagrams have been placed on every spread for convenient reference while working through the proofs; running heads on every page indicate both Euclid's book number and proposition numbers for that page; and adequate space for notes is allowed between propositions and around diagrams. The all-new index has built into it a glossary of Euclid's Greek terms.

Heath's translation has stood the test of time, and, as one done by a renowned scholar of ancient mathematics, it can be relied upon not to have inadvertantly introduced modern concepts or nomenclature.

Book Description

This new edition to the "Tech's Guide" Series provides an overview of equipment, physics and clinical quality control for MR imaging, which represents material covered in the first half of the ARRT certifying exam for MRI.

Concise, easy-to-read text

Bullet-point format

Book Description

This book is dedicated to the subject of computed tomography physics. The new edition of this comprehensive text includes the very latest in computed tomography principles, applications, and technology. This resource discusses multi-slice computed tomography in detail with coverage of fundamental physical principles, image reconstruction, and applications such as 3-D imaging, fluoroscopy, angiography, virtual reality imaging, and volume scanning. This book also contains 22 quality control tests for CT scanners. It includes many completely updated chapters, revised illustrations, and new contributors. This is an essential reference textbook for anyone in the field of radiologic technology.

Product Description

The book contains a translation and study of Euclid's Phaenomena, a work which once formed part of the mathematical training of astronomers from Central Asia to Western Europe. Included is an introduction that sets Euclid's geometry of the celestial sphere, and its application to the astronomy of his day, into its historical context for readers not already familiar with it. So no knowledge of astronomy or advanced mathematics is necessary for an understanding of the work. The book shows mathematical astronomy shortly before the invention of trigonometry, which allowed the calculation of exact results and the subsequent composition of Ptolemy's Almagest. The Phaenomena itself begins with an introduction (possibly not by Euclid) followed by eighteen propositions set out in geometrical style about how arcs of the zodiacal circle move across the sky. The astronomical application is to the small arc of that circle occupied by the Sun, but the Sun is not mentioned. This work and the (roughly) contemporaneous treatises of Autolycus and Aristarchos form a corpus of the oldest extant works on mathematical astronomy. Together with Euclid's Optics one has the beginnings of the history of science as an application of mathematics. Copublished with the London Mathematical Society beginning with Volume 4.
