The History of Geometric Construction Geometric construction is one of the oldest and most fundamental branches of mathematics, tracing its origins back to ancient civilizations. The use of geometry to construct shapes, angles, and figures without the aid of measuring tools—other than a compass and straightedge—has fascinated mathematicians for millennia. The principles behind geometric construction …
