Overview

Ioannis Bolyai De Bolya Appendix Scientiam Spatii Absolute Veram Exhibens, published in 1902, presents Jànos Bolyai's groundbreaking work on non-Euclidean geometry. Written in Latin, the text explores a system of geometry independent of Euclid's eleventh postulate regarding parallel lines, a concept revolutionary for its time. Bolyai's ""Appendix"" demonstrates that the truth or falsehood of Euclid's axiom cannot be determined a priori. This edition includes a geometric quadrature of the circle based on the possibility of the axiom's falsity. Bolyai's work is a cornerstone of modern mathematics, challenging long-held assumptions and opening new avenues of geometric thought. This edition offers scholars and students access to Bolyai's original exposition of absolute space, marking a pivotal moment in the history of mathematics.
