Synopsis

Euclid was a mathematician from the Greek city of Alexandria who lived during the 4th and 3rd century B.C. and is often referred to as the “father of geometry”. Within his foundational treatise “Elements,” Euclid presents the results of earlier mathematicians and includes many of his own theories in a systematic, concise book that utilized a brief set of axioms and meticulous proofs to solidify his deductions. In addition to its easily referenced geometry, “Elements” also includes number theory and other mathematical considerations. For centuries, this work was a primary textbook of mathematics, containing the only framework for geometry known by mathematicians until the development of “non-Euclidian” geometry in the late 19th century. The extent to which Euclid’s “Elements” is of his own original authorship or borrowed from previous scholars is unknown, however despite this fact it was his collation of these basic mathematical principles for which most of the world would come to the study of geometry. Today, Euclid's “Elements” is acknowledged as one of the most influential mathematical texts in history. This volume includes all thirteen books of Euclid's “Elements”, is printed on premium acid-free paper, and follows the translation of Thomas Heath.
