New York: Dover, 1993. Classic scholarly text presents a detailed survey of the ancient Greek geometric traditions with special focus on efforts to solve the three great classical problems. Dr. Knorr takes as his province virtually the entire period of ancient geometry, providing expert analysis of the relevant work of such famed mathematicians as Hippocrates of Chios, Eudoxus, Archimedes, Apollonius and many others. The result is a comprehensive overview of the developing character of research: the origins of the study of conics; introduction of special mechanical curves; the use of sliding rulers as a construction technique; the use of calculating procedures for approximations; the implementation of the method of "analysis" for the discovery of solutions and more. 410 pgs.
