The Fibonacci sequence while being used in Mathematics was later in time more broadly applied to art, design and used for determining divine proportions. It was first used by Pingala and in Indian mathematics, however Fibonacci was the first to introduce the mathematical sequence to European cultures in his book Liber Abaci. The Fibonacci Sequence having a strong relationship to the golden mean became prominent from 1202 & It was named after I talian mathematician Leonardo of Pisa, later posthumously known as Fibonacci ( 1170 – 1250). Egyptians used maths for surveying & building, taxing the public for cooking oil & astronomy. Geometry in Greece came later (300 BC) and its maths still in use today was used by and in some cases created by well known mathematicians Euclid, phi by representing the golden ratio/mean between 325- 265 BC ( Euclidean geometry), Pythagoras ( Pythagoras Theorem), Aristotle, Archimedes and others. Mathematics was used in Summer and one of their numeric systems was s exagesimal. Mathematics and the cuneiform writing system are some of the first ancient examples of geometry in use. Cuneiform is one of, if not the first written system. The Sumerian civilisation of present-day southern Iraq (ancient Mesopotamia) dates to around 4000 BC. Experts agree Babylonian mathematics dates to between 5000 - 3000 BC and was scribed on cuneiform clay tablets. To understand geometry applied to art, architecture, design, computer science, mosaics, fashion patterns (textiles) and the myriad of reproduced geometric prints we first need to go back to square one, Summer.
I'm by no means an expert and I'm influenced in my own work by geometry, geometric art & design and fascinated by its creation throughout cultural history spanning thousands of years. In terms of geometric prints I'm writing this article to give a very brief introduction to some of the history of geometric art, design and its antiquity. To write thoroughly an exhaustive 1,000+ page book could be written about the very large amount of artists, geometric art influences and large body of work pertaining to this topic.
