Question

Lifestory of Euclid?

Answer 1

Although Euclid is a famous mathematician, very little is known about his life. It is believed that he was a student of Plato. Euclid was born around 365 B.C. in Alexandria, Egypt and lived until about 300 B.C. Euclid's most famous work is his collection of 13 books, dealing with geometry, called The Elements. They are said to be " the most studied books apart from the Bible".

Books 1-6 deal with plane geometry,
Books 7-9 deal with number theory,
Book 10 deals with Eudoxus's theory of irrational numbers, and
Books 11-13 deal with solid geometry.
This set of books is remarkably clear and easy to understand. Theorems are stated, then they are proved.

Euclid actually made few discoveries. He did make a few, but very minute ones.
