Reconstructing Readers through a Comparative Analysis of Euclid's 1482 "Elements of Geometry"
Faculty Sponsor: Joan Richards

Using analytic frameworks from history, education, print culture, cognitive science and mathematics, Ryan explored this world through an inter-library analysis of marginal notations in copies of the first printed edition of Euclid's "Elements of Geometry."
