A cogent discussion essay about the discovery of perspective geometry in Western technology (from the study of
Arab optics; Theodoric of Freiburg’s experiments to explain the rainbow) which lead to new painting and
architecture (tour of Greece – Claudius Ptolemy, Medici double entry bookkeeping, and desire to imitate Roman
architecture), the ability to measure at a distance(need for mathematics, and Ptolemy’s coordinates), and to
map the world (Idea that Japan might be other side of Atlantic, and Columbus’s voyage to America). Essay
should include an introduction (overviewing what is going to be discussed), a body – using specific evidence
from the videos/book (chapters 1-5) James Burke: The Day The Universe Changed to develop the argument, and a conclusion summarizing the discussion.
