This book seeks to explore the history of descriptive geometry in
relation to its circulation in the 19th century, which had been
favoured by the transfers of the model of the Ecole Polytechnique
to other countries. The book also covers the diffusion of its
teaching from higher instruction to technical and secondary
teaching. In relation to that, there is analysis of the role of the
institution - similar but definitely not identical in the different
countries - in the field under consideration. The book contains
chapters focused on different countries, areas, and institutions,
written by specialists of the history of the field. Insights on
descriptive geometry are provided in the context of the
mathematical aspect, the aspect of teaching in particular to
non-mathematicians, and the institutions themselves.
