It builds upon the propositions of the previous books and applies them with further specificity than in Book 1 to the motions observed in the Solar System. Here (introduced by Proposition 22, [ 34 ] and continuing in Propositions 25–35 [ 35 ] ) are developed several of the features and irregularities of the orbital motion of the Moon ...
The Elements (Ancient Greek: Στοιχεῖα Stoikheîa) is a mathematical treatise consisting of 13 books attributed to the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid c. 300 BC. It is a collection of definitions, postulates, propositions (theorems and constructions), and mathematical proofs of the propositions.
The main text in Volumes 1 and 2 was reset, so that it occupies fewer pages in each. In the second edition, Volume 3 was not reset, being photographically reprinted with the same page numbering; corrections were still made.

[1] The authorship of the Proposals has been the subject of scholarly debate, although it has been suggested that it was drafted in the summer of 1647 by Commissary-General ...
The book begins with a simpler proof of the law of the lever in Proposition 1, making reference to results found in Quadrature of the Parabola. Archimedes proves the next seven propositions by combining the concept of centre of gravity and the properties of the parabola with the results previously found in On the Equilibrium of Planes I.
The thirteen books cover Euclidean geometry and the ancient Greek version of elementary number theory. With the exception of Autolycus' On the Moving Sphere , the Elements is one of the oldest extant Greek mathematical treatises, [ 9 ] and it is the oldest extant axiomatic deductive treatment of mathematics .
