geometricians
Experts in shapes
Geometricians are people who study or specialize in geometry—the branch of mathematics dealing with points, lines, angles, surfaces, and solids.
The term is more formal than "geometers" and appears most often in historical or academic contexts: The ancient geometricians of Greece laid foundations still taught today.
