Curiosa Mathematica, Part 1: A New Theory of Parallels is a book written by Charles L. Dodgson, better known as Lewis Carroll, and was published in 1890. The book is a mathematical treatise that explores the concept of parallels and presents a new theory on the subject. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on the history of the theory of parallels and the problems that have arisen from it. Dodgson examines the work of Euclid, Saccheri, and Lobachevsky, and presents his own ideas on the subject. The second part of the book is a collection of mathematical puzzles and problems that Dodgson created. These puzzles range from simple arithmetic problems to more complex geometric puzzles. Overall, Curiosa Mathematica, Part 1: A New Theory of Parallels is a fascinating look into the mind of Lewis Carroll and his love for mathematics. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of mathematics or the works of Lewis Carroll.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
