Using Albrecht Dürer’s <i>Instruction on Measurement</i> for Projects in the Mathematics Classroom

Albrecht Dürer is well known as a Renaissance artist, but his 1525 work, the <i>Underweysung der Messung</i>, or <i>Manual on Measurement</i>, also contains a significant amount of mathematics. This article outlines four projects inspired by parts of this work, with additional material coming from Staigmüller’s 1891 “<i>Dürer als Mathematiker</i>.” Before-and-after questionnaires were given to the students who worked the projects; their responses are analyzed.

阿尔布雷希特·丢勒（Albrecht Dürer）作为文艺复兴时期的知名艺术家享誉全球，但其1525年出版的著作《测量术教程》（*Underweysung der Messung*，又名《测量手册》（*Manual on Measurement*））中同样蕴含了大量数学内容。本文概述了四项受该著作部分内容启发而设计的研究项目，所需补充材料取自施泰格米勒（Staigmüller）1891年发表的《作为数学家的丢勒》（*Dürer als Mathematiker*）。研究人员向参与项目的学生发放了前后测问卷，并对其作答内容进行了分析。
