LIBRARY | Rare Collection
The Rare Collection contains books that are hundreds of years old, some of these books were assembled over 400 years ago. These books will continue to be preserved at the Mathema Gallery and will provide a glimpse into the past.
Pike’s ArithmeticOne book in this collection, titled Pike’s Arithmetic, is supposedly the first American textbook on mathematics. It was used in many schools as a preparation for college algebra, and was even adopted for use at both Harvard and Yale University. The book was, for the day, very thorough in its scope of coverage, ranging from basic arithmetic through conic sections. |
Euclid’s ElementsEuclid’s Elements second highest number of published editions behind the Bible. Summarizing Euclid’s ground-breaking Elements, this book draws out some of the earliest known principles of geometry like parallel and perpendicular lines, as well as the many applications of similar triangle theory. |
