Euclid and His Twentieth Century Rivalsby Nathaniel Miller , 2007
Miller discusses the history of diagrams in Euclidean Geometry, develops a formal system for working with them, and concludes that they can be used rigorously. Miller also introduces a diagrammatic computer proof system, based on this formal system.
