    Extractions: 10.8. Euclid (330?-275? B.C.) IRA Euclid is one of the most influential and best read mathematician of all time. His prize work, Elements , was the textbook of elementary geometry and logic up to the early twentieth century. For his work in the field, he is known as the father of geometry and is considered one of the great Greek mathematicians. Very little is known about the life of Euclid. Both the dates and places of his birth and death are unknown. It is believed that he was educated at Plato's academy in Athens and stayed there until he was invited by Ptolemy I to teach at his newly founded university in Alexandria. There, Euclid founded the school of mathematics and remained there for the rest of his life. As a teacher, he was probably one of the mentors to Archimedes Personally, all accounts of Euclid describe him as a kind, fair, patient man who quickly helped and praised the works of others. However, this did not stop him from engaging in sarcasm. One story relates that one of his students complained that he had no use for any of the mathematics he was learning. Euclid quickly called to his slave to give the boy a coin because "he must make gain out of what he learns." Another story relates that Ptolemy asked the mathematician if there was some easier way to learn geometry than by learning all the theorems. Euclid replied, "There is no royal road to geometry" and sent the king to study. Euclid's fame comes from his writings, especially his masterpiece

51. Euclid And The Elements
    Essay by JaneMarie Wright, Suffolk County Community College, NY.  
    http://www2.sunysuffolk.edu/wrightj/MA28/Euclid/Essay.htm
    
    Extractions: Euclid and the Elements Very little is known about the life of Euclid. He taught and wrote at the Museum and Library of Alexandria (Greece) around 300 BCE. The government established the Museum as a place where scholars would meet and discuss ideas. The fellows received a stipend and were exempt from taxation. An anecdote about Euclid is that when Ptolemy requested a short cut to geometric knowledge, Euclid replied that there "is no royal road to geometry." Another story is that when a student asked what practical use studying geometry could be, Euclid ordered a slave to give the man a penny, since "he must make gain from what he learns." Euclid wrote at least ten books on subjects ranging from mathematics to optics. His Elements was a textbook that was a compilation of mathematical knowledge of the time. The thirteen books included sections on geometry, number theory, and solid geometry. No original copy of the Elements exists. Over the centuries, errors entered manuscripts, as well as addition and "clarifications." Modern editions are based on a revision by the Greek commentator Theon (approx. 400 AD). The first complete Latin (the international language of science) appeared in the eighth century. The first printed English translation appeared in 1482 (Campanus). The first complete English translated was the Billingsley translation (1571). The importance of the Elements lies not only in the mathematical content, but in the structure and organization of the book. Euclid's axiomatic approach to geometry is what caused it to eclipse other "Elements" written before it (such as that of Hippocrates of Chios). Euclid starts with basic ideas and builds systematically on them. "To the modern reader, the work is incredibly dull. There are no examples, there is no motivation, there are no witty remarks, there is no calculation. There are simply definitions, axioms and proofs."

    Extractions: Stepper Motors Stepper motor manufacturers as well as end-users of stepper motors benefit greatly from the ability to measure and analyze the characteristics of a stepper motor/driver. The measurements below were obtained by connecting an encoder to the shaft of a stepper motor, and monitoring the encoder and stepper-motor indexer signals using the Stepper Motor Dynamics Analyzer . The Stepper Motor Dynamics Analyzer provides a means to quickly: The angular position accuracy of a stepper motor varies from one step to the next. This inaccuracy is influenced by the construction of the motor, the load it is driving, and the driver attached to motor. The rightmost graph below illustrates the static step error of one particular stepper motor as it is single stepped through one revolution. The graph is plotting the static step error (ideal step position - measured step position) versus the angle of the shaft of the motor. The graph on the left is showing the min, max and average step response position accuracy measured over one revolution. The arrows indicate the peak to peak static step accuracy at a point where the motor shaft has settled.

    Extractions: Euclid of Alexandria is the most prominent mathematician of antiquity best known for his treatise on mathematics The Elements . The long lasting nature of The Elements must make Euclid the leading mathematics teacher of all time. For his work in the field, he is known as the father of geometry and is considered one of the great Greek mathematicians. Very little is known about the life of Euclid. Both the dates and places of his birth and death are unknown. It is believed that he was educated at Plato's academy in Athens and stayed there until he was invited by Ptolemy I to teach at his newly founded university in Alexandria. There, Euclid founded the school of mathematics and remained there for the rest of his life. As a teacher, he was probably one of the mentors to Archimedes Little is known of Euclid's life except that he taught at Alexandria in Egypt. According to Proclus (410-485 A.D.) in his Commentary on the First Book of Euclid's Elements , Euclid came after the first pupils of Plato and lived during the reign of Ptolemy I (306-283 B.C.). Pappus of Alexandria (fl. c. 320 A.D.) in his Collection states that Apollonius of Perga (262-190 B.C.) studied for a long while in that city under the pupils of Euclid. Thus it is generally accepted that Euclid flourished at Alexandria in around 300 B.C. and established a mathematical school there. Proclus also says that Euclid "belonged to the persuasion of Plato,'' but there exists some doubt as to whether Euclid could truly be called a Platonist. During the middle ages, Euclid was often identified as Euclid of Megara, due to a confusion with the Socratic philosopher of around 400 B.C.
