The Greek mathematicians(math expert)
Born: c. 335 B.C.E., Greece
Died: c. 270 B.C.E., Alexandria, Egypt
Greatest mathematicians in the world.
Studied at Athens under students of Greek philosopher Plato (c. 428348 or 347B.C.)
before he founded a school of mathematics in Alexandria, Egypt, during the reign of
Ptolemy I
Is best known for his work titled Elements, a thirteen-volume textbook on the
principles of mathematics.

Reasons for choosing the Mathematician
to study :-His major contributions are in geometry and in his book The Elements; he
gave many rules of geometry which are also used nowadays.
Books of Euclid provide a base of geometry. Euclids ideas and theories arestill considered as basics of mathematics. His most famous work wasMetrics.
It will also help us in knowing the relation of mathematics to other variedelements of culture such as art, architecture, crafts, religion, philosophy andetc.
By studying about this mathematician we can get to knowthe depth of the subject.
Besides that, expose to method how this mathematicianderived many new theories and calculation.
Make the students more eager to learn mathematic.
A study of the history of mathematics will help us tounderstand this cultural heritance.

Next to the Bible, Euclid's Elements is probably the most reproduced
book in the Western world.
Important events in the Mathematician
life.
Euclid's method of proving mathematical theorems by logical
reasoning from accepted first principles remains the backbone ofmathematics
His Elements is the most successful textbook in the history of
mathematics.
Euclid also wrote works on perspective, conic sections, spherical
geometry, and possibly quadric surfaces.

The Mathematician accomplishment in Mathematics
1) Elements
The Elements consists of thirteen books.
Each book contains a number of theorems, from about ten toone hundred, which follow a series of definitions.
Euclid's the Elementsare five key postulates or axioms. They are:
1. Part of a line can be drawn between two given points.2. Such a part line can be extended indefinitely in either direction.3. A circle can be drawn with any radius with any given point at its center.
4. All right angles are equal.5. If part of a line crosses two other lines so that the inner angles on thesame side add up to less than two right angles, then the two lines itcrosses must eventually meet.

The book include the treatises on planegeometry, propotion, astronomy, and music.
Euclids first few books of element are still used
until now to teach plane geometry by modifiedthe versions.
Euclid is famous because his book are very easy
to understand. His books are used as the main math book in all
schools in Europe, West Asia, and America for 2thousand years, until the 20th century.
He wrote the Elements, a thirteen-volume set oftextbooks of geometry (the study of points, lines,angles, and surfaces)the oldest major
mathematical work existing in the Western world.

Interesting facts about the MathematicianEuclids life.
Little is known about Euclid's life, as there are only a handful of references to him.
The date and place of Euclid's birth and the date and circumstances of his death areunknown.
No likeness or description of Euclid's physical appearance made during his lifetimesurvived antiquity. Therefore, Euclid's depiction in works of art is the product of theartist's imagination.
Euclid and Mathematics.
Euclid was the first to realize that parallel lines don't necessarily meet or that parallellines cannot avoid meeting, both forerunners of modern non-Euclidian geometries, ofgreat importance to General Relativity. He had to accept a parallel line postulatebecause it couldn't be proven, in order to proceed with what's now called "EuclidianGeometry".
