Practical Geometry…

*

‘My goal is to teach practical geometry to our students, not as something new, but rather as a collation of older scattered material. Say what you will. I think our predecessors worked miracles. They had immense energy and tried to get to the truth. Hard work could not dampen their ardour, nor any obstacle deter their efforts. They had deep insight into marvellous and almost incredible matters, and even in lesser ones, they provided many examples of wisdom. To equal them may not be possible; not to try would be a disgrace. But enough exploration; let us address our task…’

Hugh of St Victor –  AD 1096-1141
