The gauge theory on M4 ×Z2 geometry is applied to the Brans-Dicke(BD) theory, where M4 is the four dimensional space-time and Z2 is a discrete space with two points. This approach had been previously proposed by Konisi and Saito without recourse to noncommutative geometry(NCG). Since our approach is geometrically simpler and clearer than NCG, one can see more directly the effect of the Z2 space in obtaining the BD theory.
