Impact of the scientific revolution on geomerty

  • the scientific revolution

    Johannes Kepler discovers two of the Kepler-Poinsot polyhedra
  • 17-gon

    Carl Friedrich Gauss proves that the regular 17-gon can be constructed using only a compass and straightedge
  • complex numbers

    Caspar Wessel associates vectors with complex numbers and studies complex number operations in geometrical terms,
  • regular polygons

    – Pierre Wantsel proves that doubling the cube and trisecting the angle are impossible with only a compass and straightedge, as well as the full completion of the problem of constructibility of regular polygons
  • my prediction

    that for geometry you wont need polygons to help you
