Because this geometrical interpretation of multiplication was limited to three dimensions, there was no direct way of interpreting the product of four or more numbers, and Euclid avoided such products, although they are implied, e. g., in the proof of book IX, proposition 20.

In particular, it is thought that Euclid felt the parallel postulate was forced upon him, as indicated by his reluctance to make use of it, and his arrival upon it by the method of contradiction.

His edition of Euclid in 1543, the first translation of the Elements into any modern European language, was especially significant.

Over a millennium after Euclid, Ibn al-Haytham ( Alhazen ) circa 1000 AD conjectured that every even perfect number is of the form 2 < sup > p − 1 </ sup >( 2 < sup > p </ sup >− 1 ) where 2 < sup > p </ sup >− 1 is prime, but he was not able to prove this result.

" The phrase was used by many early Greek mathematicians, including Euclid and Archimedes.

" According to one of his biographers, al-Wahrani, Saladin was able to answer questions on Euclid, the Almagest, arithmetic, and law, but this was an academic ideal and it was study of the Qur ' an and the " sciences of religion " that linked him to his contemporaries.

Concerns about the soundness of arguments involving infinitesimals date back to ancient Greek mathematics, with Euclid replacing such proofs with ones using other techniques such as the method of exhaustion.

Mathematical proofs were revolutionized by Euclid ( 300 BCE ), who introduced the axiomatic method still in use today, starting with undefined terms and axioms ( propositions regarding the undefined terms assumed to be self-evidently true from the Greek " axios " meaning " something worthy "), and used these to prove theorems using deductive logic.

Euclid uses the Greek ἀναλόγον ( analogon ), this has the same root as λόγος and is related to the English word " analog ".

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.
