520			_a"The age of the Baroque--a time of great strides in science and mathematics--also saw the construction of some of the world's most magnificent buildings. In this book, George L. Hersey explores the interrelations of the two developments, explaining how the advancements of geometry and the abstractions of mathematics were made concrete in the architecture of the day."--Publisher description.
