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 is the unique line postulate?
- Unique line assumption. There is exactly one line passing through two distinct points.
Why does Sal's father move with her to Euclid Ohio in walk two moon?
Sals dad decides to move to Euclid, Ohio because their house in Bybanks, Kentucky holds too many memories of Sal's mother, Chanahassen/Sugar
What is the difference between axioms and common notions?
The axiom is a premise or starting point for reasoning. The common notion are what is being defined and given a name.
The axioms and common notions are related.
- Things equal to the same thing are equal to one another.
- If equals are joined to equals, the wholes will be equal.
- If equals are taken from equals, what remains will be equal.
- Things that coincide with one another are equal to one another.
- The whole is greater than the part.
- Equal magnitudes have equal parts; equal halves, equal thirds.
Why is it impossible to draw a line segment using Euclidean geometry?
It is impossible to draw a straight line.
How does Euclid impact us today?
Euclid was the father of Geometry and he acualy dicovered it and we use Geometry
Who said things which are equal to the same thing are equal to one another?
This is known as the transitivity of equality. It is one of the "common notions" assumed by Euclid in his Elements, and has been used extensively since then.
What are the contributions of Thomas Harriot in mathematics?
He is a very helpful man, smart, intelergent, likes life. ps. i can speak chineaee ;D
Use euclid division algorithm to find HCF of 34034 and 510?
34034 =
510 x 66 + 374
510 =
374 X 1 + 136
374 =
136 X 3 + 102
136 =
102 X 1 + 34
102 =
34 X 3.......THUS 34 IS THE HCF OF 34034 AND 510.
What historical events happened during euclid of Alexandria life?
I belive nothing because there is no record of this.
How did euclid discovered math?
Euclid did not discover math. Math is and was an ongoing process of discovery of the relationship between all things that can be expressed with math formulas. Most of what the ancient Greeks did was based on geometry. Euclid gathered all the geometric information together and tried to systematize it so that it would be easier to understand and easier to learn and/or use. He did nothing with the other branches of math.
Why is the parallel axiom in Euclid's geometry false in non-Euclidian geometry?
Euclid's parallel axiom is false in non-Euclidean geometry because non-Euclidean geometry occurs within a different theory of space. There may be one absolute occurrence in non-Euclidean space where Euclid's parallel axiom is valid. Possibly as some form of infinity.
Euclid died about 265 BC. The exact date and circumstances of Euclid's death are unknown.
Euclid is thought to have been born in Greece around 325 BC and received his early education in Athens. There is nothing known of his family background. Historians generally agree that he taught geometry in Alexandria, Egypt, during the reign of Ptolemy I, who ruled Egypt between 323 and 285 BC.
There is no record of the name of Euclid's spouse, if he ever married, or any information about other members of his family.
to make things well easier he is the father of geometry. he sat around all day calculating pi. just think how much time he must have had on is hands. btw he was born in Greece
