Dictionaries: General Computing Medical Legal Encyclopedia Math education Word: Word Starts with Ends with Definition Mathematics education , the practices and methods of teaching mathematics Mathematics is commonly defined as the study of patterns of structure, change, and space; more informally, one might say it is the study of 'figures and numbers'. In the formalist view, it is the investigation of axiomatically defined abstract structures using logic and mathematical notation; other views are described in Philosophy of mathematics. Mathematics might be seen as a simple extension of spoken and written languages, with an extremely precisely defined vocabulary and grammar, for the purpose of describing and exploring physical and conceptual relationships.

Probably no results in The Elements were first proved by Euclid but the organisation of the material and its exposition are certainly due to him. The Elements begins with definitions and axioms, including the famous fifth, or parallel, postulate that one and only one line can be drawn through a point parallel to a given line. Euclid's decision to make this an axiom led to Euclidean geometry. It was not until the 19th century that this axiom was dropped and non-euclidean geometries were studied. Zeno of Sidon , about 250 years after Euclid wrote the Elements , seems to have been the first to show that Euclid's propositions were not deduced from the axioms alone, and Euclid does make other subtle assumptions.

These figures include plane (flat) figures, such as circles, triangles, and rectangles, and solid (three-dimensional) figures, such as cubes, cones, and spheres. The name geometry comes from two Greek words meaning earth and to measure. The world is full of geometric shapes and patterns. Sample some of the following activities to learn more about geometry.

In fact there is ample evidence that Euclid is using earlier textbooks as he writes the Elements since he introduces quite a number of definitions which are never used such as that of an oblong, a rhombus, and a rhomboid.

Hellenism and Multiculturalism G reek was the official language of Ptolemaic Egypt and though Egyptians continued to form the overwhelming majority of the population of the countryside, Alexandria was different. Peoples from many lands settled there and most newcomers eventually adopted Greek, the lingua franca of the whole eastern Mediterranean and beyond. Even those groups known for the conservative retention of other aspects of their culture, notably the Jews, forgot their native tongues and learned Greek. A t the Great Library Greek translations were commissioned as a matter of course. Aristeas, writing one hundred years after the Library's inception, records that Ptolemy I Soter handed over to Demetrius of Phaleron, a former pupil of Aristotle, the job of gathering books and scrolls, as well as letting him supervise a massive effort to translate the most important works of other cultures into Greek. This process began with the translation of Old Testament, for which project the library hired and housed seventy-two rabbis to produce its famous namesake, the Septuagint.

Euclid (Famous Mathematician). Euclid of Alexandria is one of the most important and influential mathematicians in history. Living in ancient Alexandria, he wrote The Elements, a geometry textbook used in some places until the twentieth century. His work in geometry provided the foundation on which all future mathematicians were educated. For a man of such great significance to the world of mathematics, little is known about his actual life. Euclid is thought to have lived from 325-265 BC, mostly in Alexandria. He was taught at The Academy in Athens, founded by Plato, and probably tutored another great mathematician, Archimedes. Euclid also founded a great mathematics school in Alexandria. Little was ever written about Euclid, and the available information is scarce and of questionable accuracy. Much of the information we do have is from authors like Proclus who lived centuries later, writing about his books, not his life. If little has ever been made of Euclid's life, then the opposite is true of his book. The Elements was used as the primary geometry resource for over 2000 years, and his lessons could still be used today. Although it contains 13 volumes, much of the work may not be Euclid's. Some of the chapters seem to be written with different styles, and others are geared for different ages, leading one to believe that he inserted other mathematicians' work into his own. Each volume begins with pages of definitions and postulates, followed by his theorems. Euclid then proves each one of his theorems using the definitions and postulates, mathematically proving even the most obvious. His work was translated into Latin and Arabic, and was first printed in mass quantity in 1482, ten years before Columbus, but 1800 years AFTER it was written! From that point until the early 1900's, The Elements was considered by far the best geometry textbook in the world.
