    Euclid introduced axioms and postulates in his influential book Elements, from which he deduced other geometric properties through logical reasoning, establishing an axiomatic approach to geometry that became known as synthetic geometry. In the 19th century, the discovery of non-Euclidean geometries led to renewed interest in the field, and in the 20th century Hilbert used axiomatic reasoning to try to establish a modern foundation for geometry.
