The Sumario Compendioso Of Brother Juan Diez is a book that was first published in 1921. It is an important work in the history of mathematics, as it is the earliest known mathematical work from the New World. The book was written by Brother Juan Diez, a Spanish Franciscan friar who lived in what is now Mexico in the 16th century.The Sumario Compendioso is a mathematical treatise that covers a wide range of topics, including arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. It is written in Spanish, and the language is relatively simple and straightforward, making it accessible to a wide audience.The book is divided into four parts, each of which covers a different area of mathematics. The first part deals with arithmetic, including the basic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The second part covers algebra, including the solution of equations and the use of variables. The third part covers geometry, including the properties of lines, angles, and triangles. The fourth and final part covers trigonometry, including the use of trigonometric functions to solve problems involving triangles.Overall, The Sumario Compendioso Of Brother Juan Diez is an important work in the history of mathematics, and it provides valuable insights into the mathematical knowledge of the New World during the 16th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
