5468_6T3D_Geometry_Trail.pdf Luca Pacioli was one of the most famous maths teachers of the Renaissance.
In the picture on the wall, which objects
is he using to teach?
Look around the exhibition to find polyhedra
represented in different ways:
GEOMETRY TRAIL
Poly (many) + gonos (angled) = polygon
Poly (many) + hedra (seat/base/face) = polyhedron Ge (earth, land) + -metria (a measuring of) = geometry Look

Two books on maths published by Luca Pacioli are in this exhibition. Compare these two books. Who illustrated the later one, and what made the diagrams more effective than the illustrations for the first book? 6

Nearby, find another way of illustrating 3D
geometry which was a world first. The icosidodecahedron has 20 triangular faces and
12 pentagonal faces. The elevated icosidodecahedron
is made by creating a pyramid of equilateral triangles on each face. How many triangles would you need to do this? ffff 5 Instead of being hand-written, the books in this display case were printed on printing
presses, with woodcut illustrations. Pacioli wrote in Italian, and Dürer wrote in German (although
the Latin translation is on display here.) What difference would the new technology of the printing press and the choice of language have made for Renaissance learning?

Written around 2,300 years ago, it collects the mathematical wisdom of the ancient Greeks, applying mathematical logic to the three-dimensional world by defining 2D and 3D shapes.
