description

This chapter contains an English translation of Mario Pieri’s 1900a memoir, On Elementary Geometry as a Hypothetical Deductive System: Monograph on Point and on Motion.1 By elementary geometry, Pieri meant Euclidean geometry as taught then in elementary courses, except for the theorems dependent on the Euclidean parallel axiom.
