Menkaure's Mathematical Masterpiece explores how the geometrics and measurements used by the Egyptians in Menkaure's pyramid relate to each other through square roots, squares, inverses, multiples and divisions of one number and are tightly related to measurements of the Great Pyramid, the equator and latitude.

Autorenporträt
Descended from two generations of architects, his grandfather being the first Finnish-American architect to design and build his designs in the U.S. and his father, who worked on the Jefferson Memorial and the National Gallery, Anton Windsor Lignell instead became as artist. Supporting himself first as a tree surgeon in the ancient trees of J.P. Morgan and other robber barons on the north shore of Long Island where he grew up. Then, after a few years working in the Harvard Library and the Boston Public Library, he served a 5 year apprenticeship making harpsichords in Boston and moved to Berkeley, where he became the first early keyboard instrument maker on the West Coast designing and building 22 harpsichords, a clavichord, a virginals, and two spinettinos. In the middle of this he started carving rocking horses and teaching classes in carving rocking horses and carousel horses in his shop and later at the University of California Berkeley, the University of Maine Machias, the Haystack School of Crafts, and the Mendocino School of Arts and Crafts. During this time he also completed more than 5,000 paintings and drawings. The forty years since have been a total absorption in the mathematics of the great pyramids of Giza.
