| Description | In the contribution, two Czech representatives of practical mathematics, Václav Láska and Václav Hruška and their plan for a set of textbooks of practical mathematics is introduced. We in particular focus on the methodology of computation with the help of drawing, i.e. graphical and graphico-mechanical calculus, a method that may seem obsolete, but whose close examination brings understanding of the development of practical mathematics. |
