Question

History – geometry in india and euclid's geometry

Answer 1

Euclidean geometry is a mathematical system attributed to the Alexandrian Greek mathematician Euclid, which he described in his textbook on geometry: the Elements. Euclid's method consists in assuming a small set of intuitively appealing axioms, and deducing many other propositions (theorems) from these. Although many of Euclid's results had been stated by earlier mathematicians,[1]Euclid was the first to show how these propositions could fit into a comprehensive deductive and logical system.[2] The Elementsbegins with plane geometry, still taught in secondary school as the first axiomatic system and the first examples of formal proof. It goes on to the solid geometry of three dimensions. Much of the Elementsstates results of what are now called algebraand number theory, explained in geometrical language.
Geometry (from the Ancient Greek: γεωμετρία; geo- "earth", -metron"measurement") arose as the field of knowledge dealing with spatial relationships. Geometry was one of the two fields of pre-modern mathematics, the other being the study of numbers (arithmetic).

Classic geometry was focused in compass and straightedge constructions. Geometry was revolutionized by Euclid, who introduced mathematical rigor and the axiomatic methodstill in use today. His book, The Elements is widely considered the most influential textbook of all time, and was known to all educated people in the West until the middle of the 20th century.

Answer 2

Answer:t comes from the name of the 9th century Persian mathematician al-Khwarizmi. In fact even the word 'algebra' is derived from a book, he wrote, called Hisab al-jabr w'al-muqabala
