Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the world of geometry and surveying during a time when precise measurement and calculations were crucial for various endeavors, from constructing buildings to navigating the seas. The author presents a comprehensive guide to understanding and applying geometrical principles, covering topics like angles, triangles, squares, circles, and other shapes. Readers are introduced to fundamental concepts such as perpendicular lines, acute and obtuse angles, and different types of triangles. The book then progresses to more complex geometric figures, including polygons and circles, explaining their properties and how to calculate their areas and circumferences. Beyond theoretical knowledge, this book emphasizes the practical application of geometry in surveying. It details methods for dividing land, creating maps, and determining distances and angles using specialized tools and techniques of the era. With its clear explanations and practical examples, this book serves as a valuable resource for anyone interested in the historical development of geometry and surveying and its lasting impact on various fields.
