title = "Dialogues about geometry and light",
abstract = "Throughout human history, people have used sight to learn about the world, but only in relatively recent times the science of light has been developed. Egyptians and Mesopotamians made the first known lenses out of quartz, giving birth to what was later known as optics. On the other hand, geometry is a branch of mathematics that was born from practical studies concerning lengths, areas and volumes in the early cultures, although it was not put into axiomatic form until the 3rd century BC. In this work, we will discuss the connection between these two timeless topics and show some {"}new things in old things{"}. There have been several works in this direction, but taking into account the didactic approach of the {"}Enrico Fermi{"} Summer School, we would like to address the subject and our audience in a new light.",
