The history of technical drawing is initiated by the need to communicate with graphics or pictures. The first images we know are the cave paintings in them are not only trying to represent reality around him, animals, stars, the man himself, and so on. , But also sensations, like joy of the dance, or tension hunts. Throughout history, this need to communicate through pictures, it has evolved, leading on one side to the other artistic design and technical drawing. While the first attempts to communicate ideas and feelings, based on the suggestions and stimulating the viewer's imagination, technical drawing, aims at the representation of objects as accurately as possible, in form and dimensions. Today, we are seeing a convergence between the goals of artistic and technical drawing. This is due to the use of computers in technical drawing, they yield 3D virtual recreations that although objects represent the true size and shape, they also carry a strong hint to the viewer. The first known demonstration of technical drawing is a construction drawing that appears sculpted the statue of Gudea Sumerian king who ruled from 2. 144 to 2. 124 or 2. 122 AC, known as the architect, and is in the Louvre Museum in Paris. In this sculpture, schematically. 1650a. C year. Ahmes dates the papyrus. The Egyptian scribe, wrote in a papyrus of 33 548 cm, an exhibition of geometric content divided into five parts covering: the arithmetic, sternotomy, geometry and calculus of pyramids. In this papyrus is reached to give an approximate value of the number ?. In 600a. C. , find Thales, Greek philosopher born in Miletus. He was the founder of Greek philosophy, and is considered one of the Seven Sages of Greece. Had knowledge of all sciences, but became famous for his knowledge of astronomy, after predicting the solar eclipse which occurred on May 28 585a. C. He is said to introduce the geometry in Greece, science he learned in Egypt. His knowledge helped him to discover important geometric properties. Such left no writings, the knowledge we have of him comes from what is told in Aristotle's metaphysics. Born on the island of Samos, Pythagoras was instructed in the teachings of the early Ionian philosophers, Thales of Miletus, Anaximander and Anaximenes. He founded a movement for religious, political and philosophical, known as Pythagoreanism. A school that is attributed to the study and design of the first three regular polyhedra: tetrahedron, hexahedron, and octahedron. But perhaps his best-known contribution in the field of geometry is the hypotenuse theorem, known as the Pythagorean theorem, which states that "in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the Hicks. "In 300a. C. , we find Euclid, Greek mathematician. His major work elements of geometry, is a comprehensive treatise on mathematics in 13 volumes on such subjects as plane geometry, incommensurable magnitudes and geometry of space (see Euclidean geometry. Probably study in Athens with Plato's disciples. He taught geometry in Alexandria and where he founded a school of mathematics. Archimedes (287-212a. C. ) notable Greek mathematician and inventor, who wrote important works on plane and space geometry, arithmetic and mechanics. He was born in Siracusa, Sicily, and educated in Alexandria (Egypt). He invented ways to measure the area of ??curved figures, as well as surface and volume of solids bounded by curved surfaces. showed that the volume of a sphere is two thirds of the volume of the cylinder that circumscribes. Also A method for calculating an approximation of the value of pi (p), the ratio between the diameter and circumference of a circle, and established that this number was 3 10/70 and 3 10/71. Apollonius of Perga, Greek mathematician, called "the great geometer" a, who lived during the last years of the third century and the early IIa. C. He was born in Perga, Pamphylia (Turkey). His greatest contribution to geometry was the study of conic curves, which reflected in his treatise on the conic, which initially consisted of eight books.
