This book introduces readers to Geometry as both a practical and theoretical field of study, where it remains a core concept in the worlds of science and design. The author, an Eton educator, presents key geometric principles and their usage throughout history, from ancient Greek scholars like Euclid to key Enlightenment thinkers. The book takes the reader through key concepts in geometry, starting with first principles and building to more complex ideas such as 3-point measurement and triangulation and their uses in navigation and surveying. The reader will come away with a foundational understanding of the key concepts in geometry as well as an appreciation of its utility in the practical world.
