   Extractions: Using the text of Sir Thomas Heath's translation of The Elements , I have graphically glossed Books I - IV to produce a reader friendly version of Euclid's Plane Geometry. The four books contain 115 propositions which are logically developed from five postulates and five common notions . In the first proposition, Proposition 1, Book I, Euclid shows that, using only the postulates and common notions, it is possible to construct an equilateral triangle on a given straight line. In the hundred fifteenth proposition, Proposition 16, Book IV, he shows that it is possible to inscribe a regular 15-gon in a circle. And along the way he develops many beautiful, interesting, captivating, and pleasing results. You are invited to read this part of one of the world's great books. This presentation grew out of material developed for a mathematics course, Ideas in Mathematics , offered for liberal arts students at Furman. Every interested person, ninth grade student to ninety year old retiree, should be able to read most, if not all, of the material; that is the intended audience.

   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.

   Extractions: Welcome to Euclid's Home Page! Euclid was a very famous mathematician. He was called the father of geometry. The best thing he was known for was his 13 volume The Elements Almost nothing is known about Euclid's life, but they do know what he was like as a historical figure, and here it is. Without him the world might not be as far in the world of mathematics or developed. As a mathematician he is ranked probably one of the highest, for writing The Elements , the base of geometry. He was also a teacher and when he founded a school in Alexandria, Egypt he taught there. He was a nice person, but he was often sarcastic. He most likely came from a rich family because when he was little he went to Plato's school and in ancient Greece only the rich had education. After he finished school he most likely went to Alexandria where he discovered geometry and then wrote The Elements which he based on what he discovered. Euclid of Alexandria was confused with Euclid of Megara for a while, who was also a mathematician. Euclid was a popular name back then, so he was confused with a lot of Euclid's of that time. But what set him apart from all the others was his amazing inventions. The great contribution to the world my mathematician made was basically geometry. In his book

   Extractions: Euclid of Alexandria Greek Eukleides ) (circa BC) was a Greek mathematician who lived in the 3rd century BC in Alexandria . His most famous work is the Elements , a book in which he deduces the properties of geometrical objects and integers from a set of axioms , thereby anticipating the axiomatic method of modern mathematics . Although many of the results in the Elements originated with earlier mathematicians, one of Euclid's major accomplishments was to present them in a single logically coherent framework. The geometry of Euclid was known for many centuries as "the" geometry, but is nowadays referred to as Euclidean geometry The fifth postulate of the Euclidean geometry , called the parallel postulate , states that if a straight line note : in Euclid's terminology a line may be finite) intersects two other straight lines, and the sum of the interior angles on one side of the line is less than 180 degrees (literally "two right angles"), then the two lines, if they are lengthened indefintely, will intersect on the same side on the line as the interior angles. Since this axiom is less obvious than the others, many mathematicians tried to derive it from the others. Then, in the 19th century Janos Bolyai (and probably Carl Friedrich Gauss before him) realized that its negation leads to consistent non-euclidean geometries , which were later developed by Lobachevsky Riemann and Poincaré In addition to a treatment of plane geometry, including proofs of the

    Extractions: c. 300 B.C.E. "Ptolemy once asked Euclid whether there was any shorter way to a knowledge of geometry than by a study of the Elements, whereupon Euclid answered that there was no royal road to geometry." Proclus Diadochus Euclid of Alexandria, author of the most successful mathematics textbook ever written and with the exception of Autolycusí Sphere , is author of the oldest Greek mathematical treatise extant. More than half of Euclidís works have been completely lost, others surviving the ages only through translations and interpretations. Little is known about his life, yet his name and writings have managed to continue being a major influence on geometry for two millennia. Much of what is believed to be known about Euclid comes from Proclusí Eudemian Summary . Proclus states that he was a contemporary of King Ptolemy I Soter. (305 - 285 B.C.E.) Some students of his work have asserted that he was in fact, a disciple of the Platonic school and had studied with students of Plato , possibly in Athens at the Academy. Euclid was older than Archimedes (287 - 212 B.C.E.) and Eratosthenes and younger than

    Extractions: Back to KISH Home Page Euclid of Alexandria Euclid of Alexandria was born about 325 BC and he died about 265 BC He is called the Father of Geometry, and is best known for his treatise on mathematics, The Elements . It is said that this treatise may make Euclid the leading mathematics teacher of all time. Euclid most likely came from a rich family, because as a young child, he went to Plato’s school in ancient Greece, where only the rich were educated. After he finished school he went to Alexandria, where he discovered and wrote his theories on geometry. Euclid of Alexandria is often confused with Euclid of Meguro, who was also a leading mathematician. Euclid was a popular name at that time, but The Elements set Euclid of Alexandria apart from all the others. The Elements consists of 13 Volumes that summarize, describe, and explain all of the rules of geometry that we use today: Volumes 1-6: Plane Geometry; Volumes 7-9: Number Theory; Volume 10: Exodus’ Theory of Irrational Numbers; Volumes 11-13: Solid Geometry. The first edition of The Elements was printed in 1492, and millions of copies have been sold since then. It was pulled out of schools in 1901, but the theories and principles remained the same, simply rewritten in a modern form.
