Resumo: |
This work discourses about mathematical knowledge incorporated and mobilized in the construction and use of the staff (cross-staff), measuring instrument discussed in the treatise A Boke Named Tectonicon, written and published by Leonard Digges (1520-1559). Its objectives are: identifying the context in which the work and its author were inserted; checking from that context, what mathematical knowledge were mobilized and addressed in the treaty and its relation between mathematical practices and erudite knowledge from that time and analyze these mathematical knowledge added in staff, considering the practice of measurement and the procedures written by the author. Three analytical dimensions have been articulated, the historiography, the contextual and the epistemological and the study focused specifically on the construction and use of the staff (cross-staff). The social and political context of the 16th century has shown that the appreciation of mathematical knowledge it was a gradual result of social historical process occurred in England and promoted a rich dialogue among scholars of universities and craftsmen connected to different sectors of society. By reading and analyzing the treated, it was found how was made calculation of measure of a land area with several shapes and also calculation of measure of height of objects. Regarding the staff, it was observed that it was more than a simple measuring device, because in the process of its manufacture it was necessary a segment division of knowledge in equal parts, perpendicularity and demarcation scales. In its handling to achieve the desired measure it was necessary to mobilize the similarity of triangles property and to know that a line is determined by two points. And on its use the relative positions between the lines and orthogonal projections were skills that were implicit in making the measures. The results of this work concluded that both the staff and the other instruments addressed in Tectonicon, are more than simple tools, they are instruments that incorporate knowledge, they show the relation between to know and to do of an era and raises issues of epistemological to reflection on the construction of scientific and mathematical process |
