The article investigates the way engineers and geometricians who had no experience of war managed to demonstrate their skills that are useful to master-warriors. The author highlights the way mathematics was taught during the sixteenth century as a device that helped scholars in gaining trust and achieving social status despite a lack of real experience. Engineers and geometricians were also assessed in military science to mediate with the elites of the society, learn the walks of life, and to gain more mechanical activities and personnel to better illustrate war activities
