Euclid

Euclid was a Greek mathematician who became famous as the Father of Geometry. He was also known as Euclid of Alexandria, where he founded a school over 2,000 years ago. He published a 13 volume treatise called Elements, a collation of all the mathematics known at that time, which is the basis of geometry still taught in modern schools more than 2,000 years later.

What was Euclid's religion?

He wasn't Christian, because he lived 300 years before Christ... Not much is known about Euclid's personal life. His religious affiliation is unknown.

How is philosophy different from the other fields of study?

Philosophy is the study of everything, thinking of every possibility and every possibility within that possibility.

Most other fields only study what is within the realms of their field. It's not so much a study, as it is people using their fully functioning brain to contemplate all existing and nonexistent things, contemplating the reason for them and the reason for the reason, etc. It is an infinite form of thinking.

What achievement are you most proud of?

I am certainly proud of being able to answer this question.

On the other hand, Having children is something I am personally most proud of.

Not necessarily for myself, but my children make me proud every day.

An outstanding mathematician who wrote the book of elements of geometry which basis for modern geometry?

Euclid compiled the book 'Elements' which has been used to teach the basics of geometry for more than 2,000 years.

Did Euclid developers plane geometry?

No. Plane geometry was well known before him. He put together the information in an axiomatic form using only a minimal number of axioms and strict rules for deduction.

What was Euclid considered in all of world history?

The ancient Greek Euclid was a genius. His work in geometry helped science immensely. Not only in his time but later on when Europe developed.

What is Euclid's division lemma?

Given Positive Integers a and b there exists unique integers q and r satisfying a=bq+r; 0 lesser than or equal to r<b

What is the name of hitlers book?

Mein Kampf (English translation: My Struggle) is a book by the German-Austrian politician Adolf Hitler. it was written whilst he was in prison and became one of the most widley bought books in germany whilst he reigned!

How did geometry develop over time?

Ancient peoples in the Mediterranean region, particularly Greece and Egypt, are thought to have developed early forms of geometry to establish land boundaries, etc., several thousand years ago. Their basic knowledge of geometry eventually developed into the mathematics needed to design and erect huge structures like the Egyptian pyramids and the great buildings of ancient Greece. Many different geometric theories were developed over the centuries, often without adequate proofs. A Greek mathematician named Euclid collected all the proven mathematic theories of his time and collated them in a 13 volume treatise called Elements. Elements is still used, more than 2 millennium later, as the basis of modern geometry in today's elementary schools.

What is Euclid's parallel postulate?

Although he presented it differently, the modern version is as follows:

  • given a straight line and a point which is not on that line, there is only one line which will pass through the point and which is parallel to the line.

What is a construction bracing connection?

A bracing connection is the fixing that holds bracing in place and to transfer loads into the bracing. Bracing holds the structure stable by transferring sideways loads (ie: not gravity, but wind or earthquake loads) down to the ground. It helps keep the structure upright and square when these loads come on to the building.

Is spherical geometry a form of euclidean?

No, both spherical and hyperbolic geometries are noneuclidian.

Did Galileo galilei win the noble prize?

No, Galileo Galilei did not win the Nobel Prize as it was first awarded in 1901, long after his death in 1642. Galileo Galilei was an Italian astronomer, physicist, and engineer who played a crucial role in the scientific revolution of the 17th century.

What is a point in Euclidean synthetic geometry?

An infinitesimal "object" having no volume at a single location in 3D space defined by X, Y, Z coordinates.

Euclid's contribution in the field of geometry?

Euclid proved that it is impossible to find the "largest prime number," because if you take the largest known prime number, add 1 to the product of all the primes up to and including it, you will get another prime number. Euclid's proof for this theorem is generally accepted as one of the "classic" proofs because of its conciseness and clarity. Millions of prime numbers are known to exist, and more are being added by mathematicians and computer scientists. Mathematicians since Euclid have attempted without success to find a pattern to the sequence of prime numbers.

How was geometry developed?

it is developed because during early people exist their lives they always use geometry

in everydays. as the people learn to use it they began doing experiments about these mathematics concern.

What is indirect proportion?

There's no such commonly recognised thing as 'indirect proportion'. If you mean Inverse Proportion, this is when one quantity decreases as another increases by the same factor.

As an example, the time it takes to run 100 m is inversely proportional to the speed you run at - if you double your speed, it takes you half as long.

Many maths problems run along the lines of "If it takes three men four days to build a wall, how long will it take five men to build the same wall?". This is inverse proportion. As you increase the number of men by a factor of 5/3, you decrease the time taken by a factor of 5/3, so the answer here is 2.4 days.

I hope that helps!

How do you separate sixteen goats with six straight lines?

Draw three lines separating the four columns and then draw three more lines separating the rows

Who developed geometry?

In my World History book it says, EUCLID.
