Synopsis of the Contents of Halley’s Conics, Book VIII

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Although Halley’s Conics, Book VIII is not a long work, it cannot be read in one sitting. For that reason, it seemed to me readers might find it useful to have an overview of the contents of the work so that, looking back over it, they can more easily acquire a feeling for the whole. Thus, the following synopsis.
