1 gen 1450 anni - Regiomontatus

Descrizione:

The German scholar Regiomontatus was perhaps the most capable mathematician of the 15th Century.His main contribution to mathematics was in the area of trigonometry. He helped separate trigonometry from astronomy, and it was largely through his efforts that trigonometry came to be considered an independent branch of mathematics. His book "De Triangulis", in which he described much of the basic trigonometric knowledge now taught in high school and college, was the first great book on trigonometry to appear in print.[Recall: The work of the Persian Nasir al-Din al-Tusi, Treatise on the Secrets of the Sector Figure, is the first treatment of trigonometry in its own right, as a complete subject apart from astronomy.]
