Geometry And the Liberal Arts by Dan Pedoe
Seller: Vintagestan Books, Waltham, LINCS, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Soft cover. Condition: Good. VINTAGESTAN BOOKS Title: Geometry and the Liberal Arts by Dan Pedoe Summary: Geometry and the Liberal Arts, is a beautifully illustrated, richly interdisciplinary exploration of how geometry has shaped the realms of art, architecture, and intellectual history. Pedoe constructs his narrative around a series of themed chapters?each devoted to a pivotal figure or concept?interweaving cultural, historical, and technical threads: ? Vitruvius - The Roman architect whose writings on proportion and human centered design illustrate the early union of geometry and architecture. ? Albrecht Dürer - Renaissance master whose work highlights the use of geometry in perspective, proportion, and artistic composition. ? Leonardo da Vinci - His notebooks reveal the deep integration of geometric thought in his art, design, and scientific inquiries. ? Form in Architecture - A broader discussion of architectural forms and how geometric principles underpin building design. ? The Optics of Euclid - An accessible dive into geometric optics and reflection, grounded in classical Euclidean geometry. ? Euclid's Elements of Geometry - Pedoe moves swiftly through the axioms and postulates to explain absolute geometry and even touches on non-Euclidean systems in just a few pages. ? Cartesian and Projective Geometry - Explores the shift from classical geometry to analytic and projective frameworks?fundamental for understanding perspective and spatial relationships. Curves - A lively chapter that examines conic sections, cardioids, limaçons, spirals, and more, through both algebraic definitions and construction techniques like envelopes and mathematical embroidery ? Space - Concludes with reflections on geometric space, dimensionality, and the broader implications for how we perceive and conceptualize our world. Interspersed with black-and-white plates, diagrams, and historical imagery, the book is both educational and visually engaging, offering exercises at the end of each chapter meant to delight and challenge readers with some mathematical background Author: Dan Pedoe Publisher: Penguin Books.
