• Resumen

  • Albrecht Dürer is well known as a Renaissance artist, but his 1525 work, the Underweysung der Messung, or Manual on Measurement, also contains a significant amount of mathematics. This article outlines four projects inspired by parts of this work, with additional material coming from Staigmüller�s 1891 �Dürer als Mathematiker.� Before-and-after questionnaires were given to the students who worked the projects; their responses are analyzed.
