Euclid was an ancient Greek scholar who wrote a geometry textbook that was used for nearly 2,000 years.
This textbook, known as “Elements,” is one of the most influential works in mathematics, laying the groundwork for geometry as we know it today. It systematically presented the principles of geometry and established the axiomatic method, which is fundamental in mathematics.
