His contributions to the so-called \"latitude of forms\", i.e. the quantification of qualities, are universally recognized in modern scholarship. Also connected with university education are his \u003cb\u003eQuestiones\u003c\/b\u003e on the \u003cb\u003eElements\u003c\/b\u003e of Euclid, the basic and most widely read of the Greek mathematical classics. These \u003cb\u003eQuestiones\u003c\/b\u003e cannot be regarded as a commentary, but rather examine problems suggested by Euclid's text. Among the subjects investigated are the quantitative change of qualities, e.g. of velocity, colours or heat, in time. There are penetrating analyses of infinite and infinitesimal qualities.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. Hubert L. L. Busard (1923-2007) war Dozent fur Mathematik an der Ingenieurschule (HTS) in Venlo\/Niederlande. Er war ein weltweit bekannter Mathematikhistoriker. Mehr als 40 Jahre lang hat er mathematische Schriften aus dem 12. bis 15. Jahrhundert ediert, darunter praktisch alle mittelalterlichen Ubersetzungen und Bearbeitungen von Euklids \"Elementen\" in lateinischer Sprache.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 199\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 18, 2010\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48728942903545,"sku":"9783515092876","price":118.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/fG9PbJoMAX9783515092876_8cf4c5da-8660-4eef-ac44-cf985ded7c9c.webp?v=1785328333","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/nicole-oresme-questiones-super-geometriam-euclidis-hardcover-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
