The Unreasonable Influence of Geometry is based on a talk of the same title that I gave at First Parish Unitarian-Universalist Church in Bedford, Massachusetts on April 3, 2000.
For the purposes of publication on the Web, I have split it up into sections and subsections. You may get the gist of the talk by reading the top level of the outline, where I list the sections and give one- or two-paragraph summaries of what is in them. If you want more detail about a section, all you have to do is click its in the outline.
You can also read the sections sequentially. Start by clicking "Introduction" in the outline. At the end of each section you'll find a "Go to next section" link. One section (Before Euclid) is broken into subsections, which are not linked to each other. Like the top level, you can get the gist of Before Euclid by reading the section outline. Or you can go to the subsections by clicking their links on the section page.
The final section, the Epilogue, is sufficiently short that it is given in its entirety in the Outline.
I enjoy hearing from people who read my essays and other writings. Write to me at dougdeb@gurus.com.
