Description:
"Lobachevsky believed that another form of geometry existed, a non-Euclidean geometry, and this 1840 treatise is his argument on its behalf. Line by line in this classic work he carefully presents a new and revolutionary theory of parallels, one that allows for all of Euclid's axioms, except for the last. This 1891 translation includes a bibliography and translator George B. Halsted¿s essay on elliptic geometry. Russian mathematician Nicholas Lobachevsky (1792-1856) is best remembered as the founder (along with Janos Bolyai) of non-Euclidean geometry. He is also the author of New Foundations of Geometry (1835-1838) and Pangeometry (1855)."

________________________________________________
Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky (1 December [O.S.20 November] 1792 – 24 February [O.S. 12 February] 1856) was a Russian mathematician and geometer, known primarily for his work on hyperbolic geometry, otherwise known as Lobachevskian geometry. William Kingdon Clifford called Lobachevsky the "Copernicus of Geometry" due to the revolutionary character of his work.
