Peter Nicholson Libri
Peter Nicholson fu un architetto, matematico e ingegnere scozzese che si concentrò principalmente sul lavoro teorico. In gran parte autodidatta, acquisì fama per i suoi contributi teorici sull'arco obliquo, pur non costruendone mai uno da solo. Oltre a ciò, inventò strumenti per disegnatori, tra cui una centrolinea e un ciclografo. Fu anche uno scrittore prolifico su numerosi argomenti pratici.
