Italian Mathematician and Franciscan friar, Luca Bartolomeo de Pacioli authored a book titled “Summa de Arithmetica Geometria Proportioni et Propotionalita” (Everything about Arithmetic, Geometry and Proportion) which was published in Venice on November 10, 1494.
First of its kind, the book aimed to summarise the mathematical knowledge of that time.
