At least Whitehead did that and created a work that as reviewer Mathews said «ought to be full of interest, not only to specialists, but to the considerable number of people who, with a fair knowledge of mathematics, have never dreamt of the existence of any algebra save one, or any geometry that is not Euclidean» (PRSL64: 385 - 6).
