L'arithmetiqve de Simon Stevin de Brvges
L'arithmetiqve de Simon Stevin de Brvges is a 1625 arithmetic textbook by Simon Stevin, with Diophantus and Albert Girard, printed in Leiden by the Elzevier press for students of mathematics. Its pictures are plain geometric diagrams of rectangles, squares, a solid box and a right triangle, labelled with letters and fractions, offering a designer a clean schematic vocabulary of lettered construction drawings.
