Introduction of Geometry
Euclid (c. 325-265 BC), of Alexandria, probably a student at the Academy founded by Plato, wrote a treatise in 13 books (chapters), titled The Elements of Geometry, in which he presented geometry in an ideal axiomatic form, which came to be known as Euclidean geometry.
**What Is Geometry? When Do You Use It In The Real World?
Geometry is one of the classical disciplines of math. Roughly translating in Greek as "Earth Measurement", it is concerned with the properties of space and figures. It is primarily developed to be a practical guide for measuring lengths, areas, and volumes, and is still in use up to now. Euclid turned the study of geometry into an axiomatic form at around 3rd century BC, and these axioms are still useful up to the present day. An important evolution for the science of geometry was created when Rene Descartes was able to create the concept of analytical geometry. Because of it, plane figures can now be represented analytically, and is one of the driving forces for the development of calculus. In addition, the rise of perspective gave rise to projective geometry. Nowadays, modern geometry has strong ties with physics, and is an integral part of new physical concepts such as relativity and string theories.
The most basic form of geometry is so the so called Euclidean geometry. Lengths, areas, and volumes are dealt here. Circumferences, radii, and areas are one of the concepts concerning length and area. Also, the volume of 3 dimensional objects such as cubes, cylinders, pyramids, and spheres can be computed using geometry. It used to be all about shapes and measurements, but numbers will soon make its way to geometry. Thanks to the Pythagoreans, numbers are introduced in geometry in the form of numerical values of lengths and areas. Numbers are further utilized when Descartes was able to formulate the concept of coordinates

Why do we use geometry in real life:
Geometry helps us in deciding what materials to use, what design to make and also plays a vital role in the construction process itself. Different houses and buildings are built in different geometric shapes to give a new look as well as to provide proper ventilation inside the house.
From sketching to calculating distances, they use geometry to accomplish their job. In addition, professions such as medicine benefit from geometric imaging. Technologies such as CT scans and MRIs are used both for diagnosis and surgical aids. Such methods enable doctors to do their job better, safer, and simpler.
