300 BC, also known as Euclid of Alexandria, was a Greek mathematician, often referred to as the " Father of Geometry ".

The few historical references to Euclid were written centuries after he lived, by Proclus and Pappus of Alexandria.

In the only other key reference to Euclid, Pappus briefly mentioned in the fourth century that Apollonius " spent a very long time with the pupils of Euclid at Alexandria, and it was thus that he acquired such a scientific habit of thought.

The term “ Euclidean ” distinguishes these spaces from the curved spaces of non-Euclidean geometry and Einstein's general theory of relativity, and is named for the Greek mathematician Euclid of Alexandria.

Euclid ( c. 325-265 BC ), of Alexandria, probably a student of one of Plato ’ s students, wrote a treatise in 13 books ( chapters ), titled The Elements of Geometry, in which he presented geometry in an ideal axiomatic form, which came to be known as Euclidean geometry.

Some notable mathematicians include Archimedes of Syracuse, Leonhard Euler, Carl Gauss, Johann Bernoulli, Jacob Bernoulli, Aryabhata, Brahmagupta, Bhaskara II, Nilakantha Somayaji, Omar Khayyám, Muhammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī, Bernhard Riemann, Gottfried Leibniz, Andrey Kolmogorov, Euclid of Alexandria, Jules Henri Poincaré, Srinivasa Ramanujan, Alexander Grothendieck, David Hilbert, Alan Turing, von Neumann, Kurt Gödel, Joseph-Louis Lagrange, Georg Cantor, William Rowan Hamilton, Carl Jacobi, Évariste Galois, Nikolay Lobachevsky, Rene Descartes, Joseph Fourier, Pierre-Simon Laplace, Alonzo Church, Nikolay Bogolyubov and Pierre de Fermat.

Very little is known about Diophantus of Alexandria ; he probably lived in the third century CE, that is, about five hundred years after Euclid.

By comparing his own measurements with those of Timocharis of Alexandria ( a contemporary of Euclid who worked with Aristillus early in the 3rd century BC ), he found that Spica's longitude had decreased by about 2 ° in about 150 years.

Euclid of Alexandria authored the earliest extant axiomatic presentation of Euclidean geometry and number theory.

Likely born in Alexandria, he was a contemporary of Euclid.

Euclid's Elements ( Stoicheia ) is a mathematical and geometric treatise consisting of 13 books written by the Greek mathematician Euclid in Alexandria c. 300 BC.

In the fourth century AD Theon of Alexandria produced an edition of Euclid which was so widely used that it became the only surviving source until François Peyrard's 1808 discovery at the Vatican of a manuscript not derived from Theon's.

The rope stretchers of ancient Egypt stretched corded ropes between two points to measure the path which minimized the distance of separation, and Claudius Ptolemy, in his Geographia ( Bk 1, Ch 2 ), emphasized that one must correct for " deviations from a straight course "; in ancient Greece Euclid states in his Catoptrica that, for the path of light reflecting from a mirror, the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection ; and Hero of Alexandria later showed that this path was the shortest length and least time.

Heath translated works of Euclid of Alexandria, Apollonius of Perga, Aristarchus of Samos, and Archimedes of Syracuse into English.

A close friendship developed between Simson and Stewart, in part because of their mutual admiration of Pappus of Alexandria, which resulted in many curious communications with respect to the De Locis Planis of Apollonius of Perga and the Porisms of Euclid over the years.

" Euclid of Alexandria, when asked by one of his students of what use was the study of geometry, asked his slave to give the student threepence, " since he must needs make gain of what he learns.

Proclus ( the commentator on Euclid ) and Hero of Alexandria ( the last of the engineers of antiquity ) also mention him.

Euclid was a Greek mathematician from Alexandria who authored Elements.

Editors and translators in the Middle Ages often confused him with Euclid of Alexandria when discussing the latter's Elements.

The Project Euclid initiative ( named after Euclid of Alexandria ) creates one resource joining commercial journals with low-cost independent journals in mathematics and statistics.

Greek mathematician Euclid mentioned the special case of the binomial theorem for exponent 2 as did the 3rd century B. C.

Euclidean geometry is a mathematical system attributed to the Alexandrian Greek mathematician Euclid, which he described in his textbook on geometry: the Elements.

It is named after the Greek mathematician Euclid, who described it in Books VII and X of his Elements.

Euclid, Greek mathematician, 3rd century BC, as imagined by Raphael in this detail from The School of Athens.

* 300 Euclid, Greek mathematician, publishes Elements, treating both geometry and number theory ( see also Euclidean algorithm ).

While Euclidean geometry, named after the Greek mathematician Euclid, includes some of the oldest known mathematics, non-Euclidean geometries were not widely accepted as legitimate until the 19th century.

Euclidean ( or, less commonly, Euclidian ) relates to Euclid ( an ancient Greek mathematician ), a town or others.

In 1797, Moses Cleaveland named the area east of the Cuyahoga River Euclid, after the Greek mathematician and patron saint of surveyors.

Proclus, a Greek mathematician who lived several centuries after Euclid, wrote in his commentary of the Elements: " Euclid, who put together the Elements, collecting many of Eudoxus ' theorems, perfecting many of Theaetetus ', and also bringing to irrefragable demonstration the things which were only somewhat loosely proved by his predecessors ".

Although this principle had been recognized by the Greek mathematician Euclid and later in experiments by Newton, it was not until 1829 that this principle became firmly established by the Belgian Joseph Plateau.

Euclid and his Modern Rivals is a mathematical book published in 1879 by the English mathematician Charles Lutwidge Dodgson ( 1832 – 1898 ), better known as Lewis Carroll.

The crater is named after the Greek mathematician Euclid.

Architectural styles represented in the district include: American Four Square, Classical Revival, Queen Anne, Dutch Colonial, Colonial Revival, Tudor, and Prairie School. The neighborhood is roughly bounded by East 67th Street to the north, East 71st Street to the south, Cregier ( Named for former Chicago mayor ) to the west and Euclid ( named for the famed mathematician ) to the east. The neighborhood is culdesaced with limited vehicular access Directly north of the neighborhood lies the 18-hole Jackson Park Golf Course, a part of the Chicago Park District's Jackson Park, the third largest park in the city and home of the 1893 Columbian World Exposition.
