This book intends to analyse how descriptive geometry spread through general, technical or artistic education, and thus in “polytechnic” schools, in different countries around the world. Our purpose is to go beyond the analysis of the development of the subject in individual countries. We do so by gathering and confronting the local experiences in order to highlight the parallel processes and the connections among them. We also seek to understand how they may have been provided by the circulation between countries and persons or by publications related to our subject.
