Synopsis
This book chronicles the progressive development of engineering techniques and principles of geometry from the earliest times. The author traces the steady evolution of geometrical knowledge from its origins in ancient Egypt. By incorporating insights from primary source material and the writings of key thinkers, the author pieces together the incomplete history of geometry from the early land surveying techniques of the Egyptians to the complex computational methods developed by the Byzantines and Persians. The work contextualizes the development of geometric principles and innovation within broader cultural and historic events, demonstrating geometry's influence on architecture, the arts, and technologies that have evolved over the centuries.
