Peter Nicholson fue un arquitecto, matemático e ingeniero escocés que se centró principalmente en el trabajo teórico. En gran medida autodidacta, adquirió renombre por sus contribuciones teóricas sobre el arco inclinado, a pesar de no haber construido nunca uno él mismo. Más allá de esto, inventó instrumentos para dibujantes, incluyendo una centrolinea y un ciclografo. También fue un prolífico escritor sobre numerosos temas prácticos.
