In 1847, an eccentric British mathematician named Oliver Byrne released a new edition of Euclid’s famous mathematical treatise, The Elements of Geometry. Byrne added a rather longwinded but ultimately ...

IF Euclid is to continue as the foundation of geometrical teaching in our schools, this work must b very warmly welcomed. The exact order of Euclid is followed, but (as the editors inform us) with no ...

Euclidean geometry is a mathematical well-known system attributed to the Greek mathematician Euclid of Alexandria. Euclid's text Elements was the first systematic discussion of geometry. It has been ...

In this brief, accessible foray, popular math/science writer Berlinski (Newton’s Gift) breathes life into an ancient mathematician and the world of axioms and theorems he created—a geometric world ...

THIS work will be found really valuable by all students of geometry, especially by those who know little or nothing of the non-Euclidean theories. First of all we have a discussion of the elementary ...

There's a simple way to learn geometry over the summer. It is easy and fun. Imagine Euclidean geometry: the video game. If your experience in high school geometry was anything like mine, it probably ...

Euclid’s Elements was the first major work to organise mathematics as an axiomatic system. Starting from a set of clearly stated and self-evident truths called axioms, a large collection of theorems ...

Have you heard of Pythagoras's idea regarding the main components of mathematics? According to Pythagoras, mathematics consists of four main components called MATEMs, namely arithmetic, geometry, ...
