Euclid's Geometry: Euclid's Biography
someone who had begun to read geometry with euclid, when he had learnt the first theorem, asked euclid, what shall I get by learning these things?
http://mathforum.org/geometry/wwweuclid/bio.htm

Extractions: Heath, History p. 354: Proclus (410-485, an Athenian philosopher, head of the Platonic school) on Eucl. I, p. 68-20: Not much younger than these is Euclid, who put together the Elements, collecting many of Eudoxus's theorems, perfecting many of Theaetetus's, and also bringing to irrefragable demonstration the things which were only somewhat loosely proved by his predecessors. This man lived in the time of the first Ptolemy. For Archimedes, who came immediately after the first, makes mention of Euclid; and further they say that Ptolemy once asked him if there was in geometry any shorter way that that of the Elements, and he replied that there was no royal road to geometry. He is then younger than the pupils of Plato, but older than Eratosthenes and Archimedes, the latter having been contemporaries, as Eratosthenes somewhere says.

Extractions: *** If you can read this, you're only seeing an image, not the real java applet! *** I began writing this applet in Feb. 1996. The current verion is 2.2 which fixes a couple of bugs in 2.0 and has a new construction to find harmonic conjugate points. Version 2.0 (May, 1997) does three-dimensional constructions whereas the earlier version 1.3 only did plane constructions. Version 2.0 also has many minor improvements. It takes a while to test everything. Please send a note if you find any bugs. They'll be fixed as soon as possible. (Note that arcs and sectors on slanted planes cannot yet be illustrated.) Also, there may be still later versions than 2.2 with more functionality. This geometry applet is being used to illustrate Euclid's Elements . Above you see an icosahedron, that is, a regular 20-sided solid, constructed according to Euclid's construction in proposition XIII.16 Another example using this Geometry Applet illustrates the Euler line of a triangle Here's how you can manipulate the figure that appears above. If you click on a point in the figure, you can usually move it in some way. A free point , usually colored red, can be freely dragged about, and as they move, the rest of the diagram (except the other free points) will adjust appropriately. A sliding point

Although we do not know for sure, this manuscript was possibly used in early teaching at the University. Certainly, it is a typical example of the kind of textbook that would have been used as part of the medieval curriculum. While there is no record of how the manuscript was acquired by the Library, it does bear early University press marks on the front flyleaf: Ff.3. n.5, and another earlier Glasgow mark, now crossed out and obscured, but possibly beginning with a 'G'. folio 8r: beginning of Euclid's elements The main item in the manuscript (folios 8-172v) is a copy of Euclid's Elements , translated out of Arabic into Latin by the English scholastic philosopher Adelard of Bath. Its colophon states that it was finished being written out on 4 December 1480. This manuscript copy therefore predates the first printed edition, produced in Venice by Erhard Ratdolt in 1482, by just two years.

November 2002 Reviews Anyone who thought geometry was boring or dry should prepare to be amazed. Despite its worthy cover this book is exactly what its title says - a story - and the plot of this story involves life, death and revolutions of understanding and belief, and stars the some of the most famous names in history. The book opens with Aristotle watching ships at sea disappearing hull first over the horizon. "On a flat earth, ships should dwindle evenly until they disappear", and so he came to the realisation that the earth must be curved. This sets the scene for Mlodinow's tale of how geometry has shaped human history - "to observe the large scale structure of our planet, Aristotle had looked through the window of geometry." The book recounts how we have continued to look through this window to understand the reality we live in, and how the window has changed along the way.
Thabit
Gives information on background and contributions to noneuclidean geometry, spherical trigonometry, number theory and the field of statics. Was an important translator of Greek materials, including euclid's Elements, during the Middle Ages.
http://www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Thabit.html

Extractions: Version for printing Thabit ibn Qurra was a native of Harran and a member of the Sabian sect. The Sabian religious sect were star worshippers from Harran often confused with the Mandaeans (as they are in [1]). Of course being worshipers of the stars meant that there was strong motivation for the study of astronomy and the sect produced many quality astronomers and mathematicians. The sect, with strong Greek connections, had in earlier times adopted Greek culture, and it was common for members to speak Greek although after the conquest of the Sabians by Islam, they became Arabic speakers. There was another language spoken in southeastern Turkey, namely Syriac, which was based on the East Aramaic dialect of Edessa. This language was Thabit ibn Qurra's native language, but he was fluent in both Greek and Arabic. Some accounts say that Thabit was a money changer as a young man. This is quite possible but some historians do not agree. Certainly he inherited a large family fortune and must have come from a family of high standing in the community.

Extractions: A Brief History of Geometry Leading to non-Euclidean Geometry Much of the following is excerpted, with permission, from A Mathematics Sampler: Topics for the Liberal Arts, Fourth Edition About 300 BC, Euclid organized all of the geometry and much of the arithmetic and number theory that was known (some 300 years of work by earlier Greek mathematicians) into a single, cohesive work, The Elements . Euclidean geometry is the geometry we learn informally as children and somewhat more formally in high school geometry; for most, it is just "geometry." Euclid's goal was to systematize the various relationships that had been observed among spatial figures, which he, like Plato and Aristotle, regarded as ideal representations of physical entities. Euclid's organizational scheme, the axiomatic method, was so ingenious that it has remained the paradigm for all of mathematics and much of science. And so persuasive and logically compelling was Euclid's geometry that it took over two thousand years before mathematicians began to suspect that there might be other ways of looking at geometry, that perhaps Euclid's geometry was not the geometry, but

Three properties of space will be discussed: Geometry, Topology and Dimensionality Euclidean and Non-Euclidean Geometry In one area of human inquiry there had long existed a quiet confidence in our ability to fathom something of the ultimate truth about the universe. People thought that if this success was possible in one area of inquiry then perhaps it was true in others. The source of this confidence was the age-old study of geometry that Euclid and the ancient Greeks had placed upon a firm logical foundation. Euclidean geometry is a geometry where the Pythagoras Theorem for triangles holds. The theorem gives the distance-squared between two points (c in the diagram) as the sum of the squares of the other two sides (a and b ). Any space where this Euclidean distance function holds is said to be spatially flat.

http://www.mathpath.org/concepts/geometries.htm

Extractions: A summer program and resource for middle school students showing high promise in mathematics What is Geometry? The nature and inter-relationship of various geometries The geometry taught today in school is a confused mixture of Euclid's and Descartes'. But the teacher is not to blame. Having evolved from antiquity from often-used methods for measurement of figures drawn mainly on plain surfaces, the methods and principles became distilled, for ready reference and use, as mathematical propositions, particularly in Greece in the peace and prosperity of the few centuries following the rule of Pericles. Then Euclid, in around 300 B.C., gathered, improved, and systematically wrote down all that was known in Geometry to his day. The work - called The Elements - attempted to develop Geometry from the firm foundation of axioms and succeeded in great measure to provide rigorous demonstrations - proof - of the mathematical results loosely proved by his predecesors. While most of the proofs in Euclid's work were correct, blemishes were discovered in some proofs one of which being the very first proposition in the Elements. However, these blemishes were not due to erroneous deduction but tacit assumptions or "intuitively obvious" facts that were not justified by the axioms. Considerations of these blemishes culminated in 1899 A.D. with David Hilbert's proposal of a revised axiom system that would not only preserve the validity of the proofs in the Elements but which was in conformity with the modern notion of the axiomatic method as proceeding from a set of undefined terms, definitions, and the axiom statements on the undefined terms. The Euclidean Geometry of today is the Geometry based on this revised axiom system or other equivalent systems since proposed.
