Geometry in History cover

This is a collection of surveys on important mathematical ideas, their origin, their evolution and their impact in current research. The authors are mathematicians who are leading experts in their fields. The book is addressed to all mathematicians, from undergraduate students to senior researchers, regardless of the specialty.

“The intended audience is that of the general mathematical community with an interest in how certain geometrical ideas developed and evolved over time. … This book allows the reader to grasp just how large the area of geometry is. … This volume would be a useful reference text in a library, where readers could use it to research the historical origins of certain geometrical topics and see how they developed over time.” (Brendan O'Sullivan, Irish Mathematical Society Bulletin, Issue 87, 2021)
