Descriptive Geometry, the Spread of a Polytechnic Art: The Legacy of Gaspard Monge
暫譯: 描述幾何學：一門多元技藝的傳承與Gaspard Monge的遺產

本書旨在探討描述幾何的歷史，特別是其在19世紀的流傳，這一過程受到法國高等工藝學院（cole Polytechnique）模型轉移至其他國家的影響。本書還涵蓋了描述幾何教學的擴散，從高等教育到技術和中等教育的過程。與此相關的是，對於不同國家中類似但絕不相同的機構在該領域中的角色進行了分析。本書包含專家撰寫的專注於不同國家、地區和機構的章節，這些專家在該領域的歷史方面具有專業知識。書中提供了描述幾何的見解，特別是在數學方面、針對非數學專業人士的教學方面，以及機構本身的背景下。

Evelyne Barbin was previously a professor of epistemology and history of sciences at the University of Nantes (France). Since 2014, she is now professor emeritus at the University of Nantes. She is a member of the Laboratory of Mathematics Jean Leray CNRS UMR 6629, where she is in charge of the research group on history of mathematics. She taught history of mathematics and sciences in all levels of teaching from licence to master. She was the director of 15 theses on the history of mathematics and sciences. Her research concerns three fields: history of mathematics, history of mathematics teachings, and relations between history and teaching of mathematics. The main themes of her historical research are: mathematical proofs in history, mathematics and sciences in the 17th and 19th centuries, and history of mathematics teaching from the 19th to the 20th century. She has worked at the IREM (Institute for Research on Mathematics Education) since 1975. As convenor of the National Committee of the IREM "Epistemology and History of Mathematics", she has organized 20 national colloquia, 8 interdisciplinary Summer Universities on history and teaching mathematics, and the first European Summer University (ESU) "Epistemology and History in Mathematics Education" in 1993. She was chair of seven ESUs from 1996 to 2014. Since 1980, she has also been a member of the International Study Group on the Relations between History and Pedagogy of Mathematics (HPM). She was the chair of HPM from 2008 to 2012.

Marta Menghini is an associate professor in the Department of Mathematics of the University of Rome Sapienza. She is the author of numerous published works in the fields of Mathematics Education, History of Mathematics, and the History of Mathematics Education. She was in the Scientific Committee and chaired the Organizing Committee of the International Symposium held in Rome in March 2008, "The First Century of the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction: Reflecting and Shaping the World of Mathematics Education", and edited the volume published on this occasion by Enciclopedia Italiana. In 2012, she held a Regular Lecture at ICME 12 in Seoul. She wrote, with Evelyne Barbin, the Chapter on "History of Teaching Geometry" in the International Handbook on the History of Mathematics Education. She was involved in the translation of Felix Klein's third volume on "Elementary Mathematics from a Higher Standpoint", which appeared in 2016.

Klaus Volkert is a full professor at the University of Wuppertal; he lectures on mathematics, didactics, and history. His interests are mainly in the history of geometry and topology, and recently he started a project on Wilhelm Fiedler. He is Editor in Chief of the journal "Mathematische Semesterberichte" (together with J. Steuding) and editor of the series "Mathematik im Kontext" (with David Rowe).

Evelyne Barbin 曾任法國南特大學的認識論與科學史教授。自2014年起，她成為南特大學的名譽教授。她是法國國家科學研究中心 (CNRS) 數學實驗室 Jean Leray CNRS UMR 6629 的成員，負責數學史研究小組。她在各級教學中教授數學與科學史，從學士到碩士階段。她指導了15篇有關數學與科學史的論文。她的研究涉及三個領域：數學史、數學教學史，以及數學的歷史與教學之間的關係。她歷史研究的主要主題包括：歷史中的數學證明、17世紀和19世紀的數學與科學，以及19世紀至20世紀的數學教學史。自1975年以來，她一直在IREM（數學教育研究所）工作。作為IREM「數學的認識論與歷史」國家委員會的召集人，她組織了20場全國性研討會、8場跨學科的數學歷史與教學暑期大學，以及1993年舉辦的第一屆歐洲暑期大學（ESU）「數學教育中的認識論與歷史」。她在1996年至2014年間擔任七屆ESU的主席。自1980年以來，她也是國際數學歷史與教學關係研究小組（HPM）的成員，並於2008年至2012年擔任HPM的主席。

Marta Menghini 是羅馬 Sapienza 大學數學系的副教授。她在數學教育、數學史和數學教育史領域發表了多部著作。她曾參與2008年3月在羅馬舉行的國際研討會的科學委員會，並擔任組織委員會主席，該研討會主題為「國際數學教學委員會的第一個世紀：反思與塑造數學教育的世界」，並編輯了由意大利百科全書出版的相關文集。2012年，她在首爾的ICME 12上進行了常規講座。她與Evelyne Barbin共同撰寫了國際數學教育史手冊中有關「幾何教學歷史」的章節。她參與了費利克斯·克萊因（Felix Klein）第三卷《從更高的視角看基礎數學》的翻譯，該書於2016年出版。

Klaus Volkert 是伍珀塔爾大學的全職教授，講授數學、教學法和歷史。他的研究興趣主要集中在幾何學和拓撲學的歷史，最近開始了一個有關威廉·費德勒（Wilhelm Fiedler）的項目。他是期刊《Mathematische Semesterberichte》的主編（與J. Steuding共同），並擔任系列叢書《Mathematik im Kontext》的編輯（與David Rowe合作）。
