"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 Euclids axioms, except for the last. This 1891 translation
includes a bibliography and translator George B. Halsteds essay on
elliptic geometry. Russian mathematician NICHOLAS LOBACHEVSKY
(17921856) is best remembered as the founder (along with Janos
Bolyai) of non-Euclidean geometry. He is also the author of New
Foundations of Geometry (18351838) and Pangeometry (1855)."
