Pedro Nunes

Pedro Nunes, 1843 print Pedro Nunes (; Latin: ''Petrus Nonius''; 1502 – 11 August 1578) was a Portuguese mathematician, cosmographer, and professor, probably from a New Christian (of Jewish origin) family.

Considered one of the greatest mathematicians of his time, Nunes is best known for being the first to approach navigation and cartography with mathematical tools. Among other accomplishments, he was the first to propose the idea of a loxodrome, and was the inventor of several measuring devices, including the nonius (from which the Vernier scale was derived), named after his Latin surname.
