The nasca produced the nasca lines‚ the nasca lines was 800 miles of lines drawn in complex networks on the dry surfaces of the nasca plain‚ it defies human perception from the ground. Nasca arrest also drew geometric forms‚ such as trapezoidal‚ spirals‚ and straight lines. The serpent mound is one of the largest and best known of the woodlands effigy mounds.

Processing • Application of model geometric development (Raja & Fernandes‚ pp5-6‚ 2011) One of the concepts of reverse engineering is to be able to replicate an existing part‚ when no data of the part is available initially. Being able to reproduce the geometric data of a part from a model to a computer is integral to reverse engineering. New technologies such as 3-D scanning have helped establish the field of reverse engineering‚ as it has allowed for geometric data existent within a model to

For those who are unaware‚ at least 1 and 2 are thanks to Georg Cantor and his invention of set theory. He had to endure a lot of resistance from the mathematical luminaries of his day - Kronecker and apparently‚ even Poincaré! Like Nietzsche‚ he died in a mental institution‚ the vicious attacks on his ideas (mostly by Kronecker) having supposedly played a part in Cantor’s breakdown. His mathematical ideas also ran afoul of some religious "philosophers" who‚ as is usually the case‚ are never ever
