WHO has not heard of Euclid during his first lessons in geometry in the School? He created the geometry of the universe on which Newton built his laws of gravitation and motion. It was only in the 19th century that the limitation of Euclid's geometry as applied to space was first discovered by Nicholas Lobatchevsky, and later by Einstein who completely repudiated the Euclidean geometry in his Relativity Theory. However, Euclidean geometry and the Newtonian laws are the one which are most valid on earth.
The great Greek mathematician Euclid, whose book on geometry has struck fear into teenagers' hearts for two millennia. Although he apparently studied at Plato's Academy in Athens, Euclid's home was Alexandria, Egypt, where he worked during the reign of King Ptolemy one of many Egyptian kings of the same name. (By the way, Ptolemy was not the astronomer Claudius Ptolemaeus known for the "Ptolemaic system" that identified the Earth as the center of the universe.)
EARLY DAYS
Euclid seemed to have studied in Plato's Academy, the then best known school of Mathematics a "Cambridge of Greece". He was believed to be a "Phoenician" with a "Greek outlook". It was the period when Alexander of Macedonia, after his world conquest, had established the township of Alexandria in Egypt. Ptolemy, the governor of Alexandria in Egypt, was a great learned man and he founded the great university of Alexandria which surpassed even Plato's Academy. There Euclid was invited to teach geometry.

When I discovered he was speaking in Pittsburgh, I gladly made the five-hour trip from Cincinnati to see him. He is one of the most polished speakers you will ever see. His presentation was so practiced and his content so clear and relevant that everything he said fit into mental contexts and pictures stronger and more lasting than the ubiquitous bulleted-list style of presentations that most presenters rely on. (He used no overheads or presentation software.) All attendees were given a print of the Charles Joseph Minard's classic "Napoleon's March to Moscow." (I framed the print and hung it in my office where it provides great inspiration to me as one of the most elegant works of information design.) The following three books by Edward Tufte were also included as part of the registration fee. The Visual Display of Quantitative Information

http://www.nrich.maths.org.uk/mathsf/journalf/jan01/art1/index_printable.shtml
How many geometries are there?
Alan Beardon
Just over 2000 years ago the Greek geometer Euclid laid down the foundations of geometry, and in doing so he made people aware of the idea that a mathematical statement needs to be proved. However convinced one might be about the truth of a statement, there is some possibility that one might be wrong, and so the only way to be certain is to give a proof. Now if we are going to give proofs we must start somewhere; we cannot go on and on in a never ending attempt to justify what we are doing in terms of more and more basic mathematics. Euclid made the amazing step of realizing that mathematics needs axioms . An axiom is, roughly speaking, an agreed starting point which does not require proof; for example, we might agree that through any two points there is exactly one straight line, and that two lines meet in at most one point. In effect, what Euclid said was this: let us agree on some basic `facts', and let us also agree that from then on everything else must be proved. With this in mind he then laid down the axioms of what we now call Euclidean geometry, and then went on to develop this geometry to a very high level indeed. This is the geometry that we learn at school, and which we use if, for example, we want to make a plan of a house. All seems well, but suppose that we

ABSTRACT: In European atomic theory, Euclid's geometry and Aristotle's logic complement each other and are generally acknowledged sources of Western science. In China, the book Zhou Yi Philosophy atom theory of ancient Greece, Euclid's geometry and Aristotle's logic complement each other and are generally acknowledged the source of Western science. But in China it was obviously unilateral that air - monism theory was used to explain the source of Chinese science in a long time and the careful inquiry from the viewpoints of logic and mathematics were ignored. In my opinion the book Zhou Yi is the starting point in the inquiry because its system contains ideologies of philosophy, logic and mathematics and a unity of them.

http://njnj.essortment.com/noneuclideange_risc.htm
What is non-Euclidean geometry?
Euclid's geometrical thesis, "The Elements" (c. 300 B.C.E), proposed five basic postulates of geometry. Of these postulates, all were considered self-evident except for the fifth postulate. The fifth postulate asserted that two lines are parallel (i.e. non-intersecting) if a third line can intersect both lines perpendicularly. Consequently, in a Euclidean geometry every point has one and only one line parallel to any given line. For centuries people questioned Euclid's fifth postulate. Even Euclid seemed suspicious of the fifth postulate because he avoided solving problems with it until his 29th example. Mathematicians stumbled with ways to prove the validity of the fifth postulate from the first four postulates, which we now call the postulates of absolute geometry. Those mathematicians who didn't fail were soon seen to have fallacious errors in their reasoning. These errors usually occurred because a mathematician had made self-fulfilling assumptions pertaining to parallel lines, rather than working with the other postulates. Essentially, they were forcing a result through the application of faulty logic. bodyOffer(29808) Though many mathematicians questioned Euclidean geometry, Euclidean thought prevailed through school mathematical programs. "The Elements" became the most widely purchased non-religious work in the world, and it still remains the most widely received of mathematical texts. Furthermore, mathematical inquiries into the nature of non-Euclidean geometries were often devalued as frivolous. The philosopher Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) called Euclid's geometry, "the inevitable necessity of thought." Such philosophical opinions impeded mathematical progress in the field of geometry. Karl Friedrich Gauss (1777-1855), who began studying non-Euclidean geometries at the age of 15, never published any of his non-Euclidean works because he knew the mathematical precedent was against him.

This is without exception the hardest math course I have ever taken. Your understanding of the concepts is pertinent. I had to read the 1st chapter over five times just to understand projective geometry. Hartshorne tries to simplify the material but only so much can be done. It is just a hard course, period. The book does contain many example and logical proofs but be ready to burn the midnight candle on this one. Geometry: Euclid and Beyond > Customer Review #2: A stunning book Hartshorne is a leading mathematician known for work in rather abstract geometry (see his book ALGEBRAIC GEOMETRY). He takes Euclids ELEMENTS as great mathematics, no mere genial precursor, and collates it with Hilberts FOUNDATIONS OF GEOMETRY.

http://www.du.edu/~jcalvert/classics/nugreek/lesson17.htm
The postulates are the basis on which the whole structure of the Elements is built, and they must be carefully constructed. Euclid gave five postulates, of which the first three are of remarkable simplicity. The final two actually contain the essential specification of Euclidean space. Many commentators have moved them erroneously to common notions, or have tried to prove them from the other postulates. These are misguided efforts that miss the point completely. Euclid's geometry is not the only geometry. Even Euclid knew that geometry on the surface of a sphere was different, but he had a concrete idea of three-dimensional space that his geometry was to represent. In fact, it does so very well. The departures from Euclidean geometry in the neighbourhood of the Earth are extremely small, less than those arising from drawing figures on a portion of the Earth's surface close to us. Euclid's results, are, eminently, true in a very practical sense. The fourth postulate is equivalent to a statement that angles and distances are unchanged by an arbitrary rotation or translation in space, and the fifth postulate that space is "flat" in a sense well-known in Riemannian geometry. These postulates are stated by Euclid in a form that is applicable to the course of reasoning in the Elements, and allow the proof of the necessary results. It is idle to try to prove these postulates; non-Euclidean geometries are well-known. The ai)th/mata are the things demanded, the postulates. The third-person imperative has no expressed subject; it means "let it be conceded that". The verb

    http://members.tripod.com/Turkler/euclid.html
    EUCLID The Man and His Times His contributions to Mathematics By Irem Euclid (Greek: Eucleides) is one of the most prominent and influential mathematicians of Greco-Roman antiquity, acclaimed for his standardising of Greek mathematics. Regrettably, little is known of the origins and life of this great scholar. It is said he was born in the city of Alexandria, Egypt around 330B.C.. After receiving his education at Plato's Acadamy in Athens, Greece, Euclid is believed to have been invited by King Ptolemy I Soter to teach at his newly founded university in Alexandria. There, Eiclid established his own mathematics school. Euclid is characterised as having been a kind and patient man who readily praised the work of his pupils and comrades. He, however, was also of a comical or sarcatic nature. One such example occured when Ptolemy asked the mathematician if there was an easier way to learn Geometry than to memorise all the theorems. Euclid replied, "There is no royal road to Geometry", sending the king back to study. History imparts that the ancient Greeks contributed a great deal to the world of Mathematics. Thier influence an discovery are apparent in any field of mathematical study. Evidently, Euclid was no exception in contributing towards this history of involvement in mathematics. One of the most outstanding achievements of the Ancient Greeks was the construction of a deductive system of Geometry, culminated in theorems-some of which are still and important part of modern mathematics. Euclid's fame comes from his writings, the best known of which are his treatise entitled, "The Elements".

    58. Euclid And The Elements
    Essay by JaneMarie Wright, Suffolk County Community College, NY.Category Science Math geometry People Historical euclid...... euclid's axiomatic approach to geometry is what caused it to eclipse other Elements written before it (such as that of Hippocrates of Chios).
    http://www2.sunysuffolk.edu/wrightj/MA28/Euclid/Essay.htm
    Euclid and the Elements Very little is known about the life of Euclid. He taught and wrote at the Museum and Library of Alexandria (Greece) around 300 BCE. The government established the Museum as a place where scholars would meet and discuss ideas. The fellows received a stipend and were exempt from taxation. An anecdote about Euclid is that when Ptolemy requested a short cut to geometric knowledge, Euclid replied that there "is no royal road to geometry." Another story is that when a student asked what practical use studying geometry could be, Euclid ordered a slave to give the man a penny, since "he must make gain from what he learns." Euclid wrote at least ten books on subjects ranging from mathematics to optics. His Elements was a textbook that was a compilation of mathematical knowledge of the time. The thirteen books included sections on geometry, number theory, and solid geometry. No original copy of the Elements exists. Over the centuries, errors entered manuscripts, as well as addition and "clarifications." Modern editions are based on a revision by the Greek commentator Theon (approx. 400 AD). The first complete Latin (the international language of science) appeared in the eighth century. The first printed English translation appeared in 1482 (Campanus). The first complete English translated was the Billingsley translation (1571). The importance of the Elements lies not only in the mathematical content, but in the structure and organization of the book. Euclid's axiomatic approach to geometry is what caused it to eclipse other "Elements" written before it (such as that of Hippocrates of Chios). Euclid starts with basic ideas and builds systematically on them. "To the modern reader, the work is incredibly dull. There are no examples, there is no motivation, there are no witty remarks, there is no calculation. There are simply definitions, axioms and proofs."
