    Euclid of Alexandria, who lived around 325-265 BC, is considered the "father of geometry". He was the first to use logical proofs to solve theorems and conjectures. He proved prime numbers are infinitely many and defined the difference between axioms and theorems. Euclid helped establish the mathematics department at the University of Alexandria and authored The Elements, a 13 book work that served as the standard geometry textbook for over 2000 years. His work on systems definitions and geometric axioms have been used for over 2200 years and established him as the most influential mathematician.

    EUCLID of ALEXANDRIA

    (circa 325 – 265 BC)


    This pioneering dinosaur, who lived some 300 years before Jesus Christ, is the
    “grandfather” of geometry. Most of his works were lost; but those that survived
    indicated that he was the first person known to have used logical and exacting
    proofs in solving theorems and conjectures. He was also the first to prove that
    prime numbers are infinitely many; as well as the first to define and differentiate
    axioms from theorems. After cutting his teeth with the works of Pythagoras and
    Eudoxus, Euclid helped refurbish the Mathematics Department at the University
    of Alexandria, in Egypt. He later authored his 13 books, (collectively known
    as The Elements), which served as the world’s standard syllabus for more than
    2000 years; and whose basis constitutes part of today’s Secondary School
    curricula. Likewise, the Systems Definitions and the Geometrical Axioms, which
    he originated, have served the world for over 2200 years. These helped
    consolidate his position as the most famous mathematician, the most influential
    mathematician, and the greatest maths tutor. In addition to geometry, Euclid did
    forage into algebra, arithmetic, optics and astronomy. And based on
    developmental similarities, as well as on direct references, Apollonius of Perga
    emulated him. The fact that Euclid was “bread and buttered” in Egypt exposed
    him to the lofty schools of thoughts which were the world’s bests then. His
    analytical style is a reminder of the triumphs of the Egyptian Civilization. Simply
    put, if you are not dripping wet with Euclidean Geometry, you have not bathed in
    the ocean of mathematics.
