Egyptian and Greek geometry were masterpieces of applied mathematics. The original motivation for geometric problems was the need to tax lands accurately and fairly and to erect buildings. As often happens, the mathematics that developed had permanence and significance that far transcend the Pharaoh’s original revenue problem, for Geometry is at the heart of mathematical thinking. It is a field in which intuition abounds and new discoveries are within the compass (so to speak) of nonspecialists.
