    How did Regiomontanus structure his work?
    Regiomontanus structured his work in a similar way to Euclid 's Elements. De triangulis is in five books, the first of which gives the basic definitions: quantity, ratio, equality, circles, arcs, chords, and the sine function. He then gives a list of the axioms he will assume, followed by 56 theorems on geometry.
