Beginning with the definitions and constructions found early on in Euclid’s Elements, Fibonacci instructed his reader how to compute with Pisan units of measure, find square and cube roots, determine dimensions of both rectilinear and curved surfaces and solids, work with tables for indirect measurement, and perhaps finally fire the imagination of builders with analyses of pentagons and decagons. His work exceeded what readers would expect for the topic. Practical Geometry is the name of the craft for medieval landmeasurers, otherwise known as surveyors in modern times. Fibonacci wrote De practica geometrie for these artisans, a fitting complement to Liber abbaci. He had been at work on the geometry project for some time when a friend encouraged him to complete the task, which he did, going beyond the merely practical, as he remarked, “Some parts are presented according to geometric demonstrations, other parts in dimensions after a lay fashion, with which they wish to engage according to the more common prac | 出版日期 | Book 2008 | 关键词 | Area; DEX; Division; Euclid; Fitting; Geometrie; Prolog; boundary element method; construction; geometry; meas | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-0-387-72931-2 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4419-2501-5 | isbn_ebook | 978-0-387-72931-2Series ISSN 2196-8810 Series E-ISSN 2196-8829 | issn_series | 2196-8810 | copyright | Springer-Verlag New York 2008 |
