• Apollonius of Perga (c. 262-190 B.C.) - known as \\'The Great Geometer\\', great influence on the development geometry of mathematics, famous book Conics introduced terms such as parabola, geometry ellipse and hyperbola.
• Monge, Gaspard - Conte de Péluse (1746-1818) - The father of differential geometry, he devised a system called Geometrie descriptive, now known as orthographic projection, the graphical method used in modern mechanical drawing.
• Heron of Alexandria (ca. 75 AD) - Greek mathematician who was mainly interested in practical historical studies in mechanics and engineering, best known for historical Heron's Formula
