Mathematical Geography in the Eighteenth Century: Euler, Lagrange and Lambert

Caddeo, Renzo; Papadopoulos, Athanase

This volume presents the beautiful memoirs of Euler, Lagrange and Lambert on geography, translated into English and put into perspective through explanatory and historical essays as well as commentaries and mathematical notes. These works had a major impact on the development of the differential geometry of surfaces and they deserve to be studied, not only as historical documents, but most of all as a rich source of ideas.
