1716 Geometry Le Clerc Mathematics & Architecture CLASSIC Illustrated Landscapes

“one of the earliest geometry treatises to combine mathematics and illustrated landscapes!”

A rare treatise on geometry that had a lasting influence on mathematicians and architects. Sebastien le Clerc wrote this book with the intents of it being used by workers, not necessarily students. The figures of geometry include scenery, rural views, castles, buildings, geometric instruments, and problems. This treatise is one of the earliest essays that combines geometry, architectural, and landscaping.

According to Hoffer, this work is

“one of the most attractive mathematical works ever published”.
