Euclid
*This is a brief essay I put together for a world history class. It's not a work of art, but here goes*: 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.

Euclid of Alexandria (c.330-270 B.C.)
A Greek mathematician who compiled and systematically arranged the geometry and number theory of his day into the famous text Elements . This text, used in schools for about 2,000 years, earned him the name "the father of geometry." Even today, the geometries which don't satisfy the fifth of Euclid's "common notions" (now called axioms or postulates) are called non-Euclidean geometries. When, according to the Greek philosopher Proclus, the Egyptian ruler Ptolemy asked if there was a shorter way to the study of geometry than the Elements Euclidean geometry

Euclid of Alexandria
Euclid of Alexandria was born around the year 330? BC and died
around the year 275? BC. But nothing is certain, including the location of
his birth and exact nationality. He is thought to have been of Greek or
Alexandrian origin. He probably studied mathematics and philosophy in
Athens and made a living by tutoring others in mathematics. Euclid then
settled in Alexandria, a colony in Greece, and taught math at a university
that he was recognized as a scholar. His writing differed from other writers
of the time, in which he was more consistent and detailed, instead of just
blabbering about really nothing at all, which was very common back in those days from the other writers. Euclid was a very uniform acting person, unlike some of the other famous educational figures of the time, like Einstein. He always preached that shortcuts in geometry were not an option. He said that there has to be a complete job done and everything has to be worked out until exceeding all possibilities.

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.

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

Introduction You will be embarking on a journey throughout history. First, you will need to find information about the famous mathematician, Euclid of Alexandria.Then, you need to describe his theory of triangles. You will then be assigned into groups of three. Your main objective is to come up with a problem that coincides with his theory of triangles. What is Euclid famously known for when dealing with triangles?
The Task
  • List a bibliography of Euclid. List what he is famous for. Describe his triangle theories. Divide into groups of three. Make a problem that covers Euclid's theory for triangles. In this section you will need to be using the web or other resources.
  • The Process
  • First you'll need to find some information on Euclid of Alexandria. Once you've found some iformation on Euclid, then write a bibliography on him. Next, you need to describe his triangle theory.
