NOTES An Advanced Calculus Approach to Finding the Fermat Point
... Steiner's problem, or Fermat's problem to Torricelli as it is sometimes called, asks for the location of the point in the plane of a given triangle whose distances from the vertices have a minimum sum. Several noncalculus solutions can be found in [2, pp. 24-34], [5, pp. 156-162], [1, pp. 354-361], ...

History of geometry
Geometry (from the Ancient Greek: γεωμετρία; geo- ""earth"", -metron ""measurement"") arose as the field of knowledge dealing with spatial relationships. Geometry was one of the two fields of pre-modern mathematics, the other being the study of numbers (arithmetic).Classic geometry was focused in compass and straightedge constructions. Geometry was revolutionized by Euclid, who introduced mathematical rigor and the axiomatic method still in use today. His book, The Elements is widely considered the most influential textbook of all time, and was known to all educated people in the West until the middle of the 20th century.In modern times, geometric concepts have been generalized to a high level of abstraction and complexity, and have been subjected to the methods of calculus and abstract algebra, so that many modern branches of the field are barely recognizable as the descendants of early geometry.
