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

Euclid IX 21 — 34 is very probably Pythagorean ; it is very simple material (" odd times even is even ", " if an odd number measures divides an even number, then it also measures divides half of it "), but it is all that is needed to prove that

Under the instruction of Cosmas, who also taught John's orphan friend ( the future St. Cosmas of Maiuma ), John is said to have made great advances in music, astronomy and theology, soon rivalling Pythagoras in arithmetic and Euclid in geometry.

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

They also created the main thoroughfare of Euclid Avenue ( California Highway 83 ), with its distinctive wide lanes and grassy median.

Mentor is named after the Greek figure Mentor, in keeping with the Connecticut Western Reserve settlers ' tradition, as well as that of most other Americans at the time, of celebrating aspects of Greek classicism ( nearby Solon, Macedonia, Euclid, and Akron also were named using that principle ).

The company also had picnics at Euclid Beach Park.

John Dee, noted Elizabethan philosopher, magician and scientist and also responsible for the introduction to the first English translation of Euclid was educated at the Chantry School ( later re-founded as the Grammar School ) in the sixteenth century.

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 ".

Allusions to predecessor's works, such as Euclid's four Books on Conics, show a debt not only to Euclid but also to Conon and Nicoteles.

It has also been used in at least one Perry Mason episode as a stand-in for fictional Euclid College.

He is also the author of a commentary on the Data of Euclid.

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

In addition to defining points and constructs related to points, Euclid also postulated a key idea about points ; he claimed that any two points can be connected by a straight line.

The usage primarily comes to us from translations of Euclid's Elements, in which two line segments a and b are called commensurable precisely if there is some third segment c that can be laid end-to-end a whole number of times to produce a segment congruent to a, and also, with a different whole number, a segment congruent to b. Euclid did not use any concept of real number, but he used a notion of congruence of line segments, and of one such segment being longer or shorter than another.

The Euclid Corridor project also included a complete rebuild of Euclid Avenue from storefront to storefront, bringing with it new sidewalks, landscaping and trees, lighting, and a large public art initiative, that proponents of the project hope will spur investment in the city's traditional main thoroughfare.

Euclid also disallows gotos, floating point numbers, global assignments, nested functions and aliases, and none of the actual parameters to a function can refer to the same thing.

Euclid of Megara ( also Euclides, Eucleides, ; c. 435-c. 365 BCE ) was a Greek Socratic philosopher who founded the Megarian school of philosophy.

Socrates is also supposed to have reproved Euclid for his fondness for eristic disputes.

The idea of a universal good also allowed Euclid to dismiss all that is not good because he claimed that good covered all things on Earth with its many names.

" Although the purported citation of Euclid by Archimedes has been judged to be an interpolation by later editors of his works, it is still believed that Euclid wrote his works before those of Archimedes.

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.

The treatise is not a compendium of all that the Hellenistic mathematicians knew at the time about geometry ; Euclid himself wrote eight more advanced books on geometry.

Some hundred years later, Euclid wrote a treatise entitled Optics where he linked vision to geometry, creating geometrical optics.

Grosseteste's most famous disciple, Roger Bacon, wrote works citing a wide range of recently translated optical and philosophical works, including those of Alhazen, Aristotle, Avicenna, Averroes, Euclid, al-Kindi, Ptolemy, Tideus, and Constantine the African.

In 1077, Khayyám wrote Sharh ma ashkala min musadarat kitab Uqlidis ( Explanations of the Difficulties in the Postulates of Euclid ) published in English as " On the Difficulties of Euclid's Definitions ".

Edna St. Vincent Millay wrote in her sonnet Euclid Alone Has Looked on Beauty Bare, " O blinding hour, O holy, terrible day, When first the shaft into his vision shone Of light anatomized !".

His political philosophy can be seen from a postcard he sent in the 1930s, on which he wrote what can be seen as an epitaph for Mussolini ’ s Italy: Empires die, but Euclid ’ s theorems keep their youth forever.

Euclid himself wrote six dialogues — the Lamprias, the Aeschines, the Phoenix, the Crito, the Alcibiades, and the Amatory dialogue — but none survive.

Reeves also wrote a well received novel, Popo, ( Knopf ) about a poet who leaves a life of material wealth to move to Greeenwich Village in New York City, to pursue his poetry, and also wrote The 99 Critical Shots in Pool to explain both Euclid and Sir Isaac Newtons ' geometric proofs.

In addition to Plato and Xenophon, Antisthenes, Aeschines of Sphettos, Phaedo of Elis, Euclid of Megara, Simon the Shoemaker, Theocritus, Tissaphernes and Aristotle all wrote Socratic dialogues, and Cicero wrote similar dialogues in Latin on philosophical and rhetorical themes, for example De re publica.

In about 300 BCE, Euclid wrote Optica, in which he studied the properties of light.

He wrote commentaries on Euclid and Archimedes, and improved Ishaq ibn Hunain's translation of Menelaus of Alexandria's Spherics.

Nayrizi wrote commentaries on Ptolemy and Euclid.

As Staal wrote, " Panini is the Indian Euclid.

They avoid weaknesses identified in those of Euclid, whose works at the time were still used textbook-fashion.

In addition to the Elements, at least five works of Euclid have survived to the present day.

Other works are credibly attributed to Euclid, but have been lost.

* Several works on mechanics are attributed to Euclid by Arabic sources.

These three works complement each other in such a way that it has been suggested that they are remnants of a single treatise on mechanics written by Euclid.

He edited works of Euclid, Apollonius, Archimedes, and other Greek mathematicians.

Disciplined citation of prior works in mathematics and science is known at least as far back as Euclid.

He published upwards of 150 works, including a Catalogue of the Bishops of the Principal Sees ; Greek Epistles ; Accounts of his Journeys, in Latin verse ; a Commentary on Plautus ; a treatise on Numismatics ; Euclid in Latin ; a book of horsemanship, Hippocomicus ; and the Lives of Helius Eobanus Hessus, George of Anhalt and Philipp Melanchthon.

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

Pappus then enumerates works of Euclid, Apollonius, Aristaeus and Eratosthenes, thirty-three books in all, the substance of which he intends to give, with the lemmas necessary for their elucidation.

The only evidence comes from traditions recorded in works such as Proclus ’ commentary on Euclid written centuries later.

The ancient peoples who are considered the first scientists may have thought of themselves as natural philosophers, as practitioners of a skilled profession ( for example, physicians ), or as followers of a religious tradition ( for example, temple healers ). The encyclopedic works of Aristotle, Archimedes, Hippocrates, Galen, Ptolemy, Euclid, and others spread throughout the world.

* Several works on Iṣlāḥ ( Correction ) of Euclid, one of which is an attempt to prove the parallel postulate, which was commented upon and criticized by Shams al-Dīn al-Samarqandī.

Among the texts in the collection are works by Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, René Descartes, Galileo, Copernicus, Euclid, Carl Friedrich Gauss, Leonhard Euler, and Gottfried Leibniz.

Among students of medieval architecture and engineering, such as are preserved in the notebooks of Villard de Honnecourt, Corbie is of interest as the center of renewed interest in geometry and surveying techniques, both theoretical and practical, as they had been transmitted from Euclid through the Geometria of Boethius and works by Cassiodorus ( Zenner ).

In his optical writings ( the Perspectiva, the De multiplicatione specierum, and the De speculis comburentibus ) he cited a wide range of recently translated optical and philosophical works, including those of Alhacen, Aristotle, Avicenna, Averroes, Euclid, al-Kindi, Ptolemy, Tideus, and Constantine the African.
