Peter Nicholson Livres
Peter Nicholson était un architecte, mathématicien et ingénieur écossais qui se consacra principalement aux travaux théoriques. Largement autodidacte, il acquit une renommée pour ses contributions théoriques sur l'arc en biais, bien qu'il n'en ait jamais construit un lui-même. Au-delà de cela, il inventa des instruments pour dessinateurs, dont un centrolinea et un cyclographe. Il fut également un écrivain prolifique sur de nombreux sujets pratiques.
