History of Mining. Subsoil Geometry: Monograph

The natural-historical prerequisites for the occurrence of the idea of ​​geological exploration in the spatial coordinate system are considered. The inextricable connection of the development of the Earth’s sciences with the general direction of development of fundamental knowledge about the world is shown. The stages of the formation and industrial development of scientific discipline in mining - geometrization of mineral deposits have been identified. Key theoretical studies are indicated that make up the scientific foundation of the geometry of subsoil and minerometric analysis, as well as the direction of modern research in connection with the rapid development of electronic computers.
For a wide range of readers interested in the history of the Earth. It can be useful to students and graduate students studying mining
