A Memoir of the Theory of Mathematical Form (1886)

A Memoir Of The Theory Of Mathematical Form is a book written by Alfred Bray Kempe and originally published in 1886. The book is a memoir that explores the theory of mathematical form and its applications. Kempe was a mathematician and lawyer who is best known for his work on the four-color theorem, which he proved in 1879.In this book, Kempe provides a detailed account of his research into the theory of mathematical form. He discusses the principles of geometry, topology, and other mathematical concepts that are essential to understanding the theory of form. He also explores the applications of this theory in various fields, including architecture, art, and engineering.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the theory of mathematical form. Kempe begins by discussing the principles of geometry and topology, and then moves on to explore the concept of symmetry and its applications in the theory of form. He also discusses the use of mathematical models in the study of form, and the role of intuition in mathematical thinking.Throughout the book, Kempe provides numerous examples and illustrations to help readers understand the concepts he is discussing. He also includes a number of exercises and problems to help readers test their understanding of the material.Overall, A Memoir Of The Theory Of Mathematical Form is a fascinating exploration of a complex and important area of mathematics. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the theory of form, as well as for mathematicians, architects, artists, and engineers who want to learn more about the applications of mathematics in their fields.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
