The task of finding the area of a triangle occupies students from elementary grades through calculus. Join me on a "vertically articulated" tour: from counting squares to square matrices, from geometry to trigonometry, to the cross product of two vectors. Historical highlights of the tour are the contributions of Heron and Georg Pick.
