    Description
    Mathematical diagrams in a document 'Concerning Problema Austriacum'. Put forward as a document containing problems and answers, there are two mathematical problems in here, described in Latin and printed by Lucas Straubius in 1653. The answers, given in English and written in the same hand as the questions, show how the length of BY can be calculated when the length of BD is known.

    These pages are an enlarged copy, probably for sharing and discussing with a group of people, of the written out answer that can be found at Cl.P/24/5/002.
