Van Schooten published a Latin version of La Géométrie in 1649 and this was followed by three other editions in 1659−1661, 1683 and 1693. The 1659−1661 edition was a two volume work more than twice the length of the original filled with explanations and examples provided by van Schooten and his students.
Geometry is, along with arithmetic, one of the oldest branches of mathematics. A mathematician who works in the field of geometry is called a geometer. Until the 19th century, geometry was almost exclusively devoted to Euclidean geometry, [a] which includes the notions of point, line, plane, distance, angle, surface, and curve, as fundamental ...
Divina proportione (15th century Italian for Divine proportion), later also called De divina proportione (converting the Italian title into a Latin one) is a book on mathematics written by Luca Pacioli and illustrated by Leonardo da Vinci, completed by February 9th, 1498 [1] in Milan and first printed in 1509.

Formulario Mathematico. Formulario Mathematico (Latino sine flexione: [1] Formulary for Mathematics) is a book [2] by Giuseppe Peano which expresses fundamental theorems of mathematics in a symbolic language developed by Peano.
Although Dolciani is not well known by the general public, she was influential in developing the basic modern method used for teaching basic algebra in the United States (called "Dolciani algebra", which teaches it on the basis of drill like arithmetic, rather than on the basis of proofs as in Euclidean geometry). Dolciani also popularized the ...
The tenth and final chapter describes practical geometry (including basic trigonometry) in 151 pages. [1] The book's mathematical content draws heavily on the traditions of the abacus schools of contemporary northern Italy, where the children of merchants and the middle class studied arithmetic on the model established by Fibonacci's Liber Abaci.
The Geometry of Numbers is intended for secondary-school and undergraduate mathematics students, although it may be too advanced for the secondary-school students; it contains exercises making it suitable for classroom use. [3] It has been described as "expository", [4] "self-contained", [1] [3] [4] and "readable". [6]
