Question

Which Greek mathematician wrote the most definitive text on geometry, one that is still referred to today?

Answer 1

I may be Pythagoras or euclid

Answer 2

Answer-

Euclid is a Greek mathematician who wrote the most definitive text on geometry that is still discussed today.

Explanation-

Euclid's work Elements is one of the basic texts on geometry. For this reason, he is known as the "Father of Geometry".

The Greek mathematician and geometrician Euclid (ca. 325–270 BC) made some of the most significant improvements in geometry in his time. (For more on Euclid, see "History of Mathematics" and "Foundations of Mathematics".) One of the contributions was his collection of 13 books on geometry and other mathematics called Elements (or Stoicheion in Greek). This work has been called the most definitive text on geometry in the world. The first six books offer basic plane geometry with sections on triangles, rectangles, circles, polygons, proportions and similitudes; the rest of the books present other mathematics of the time, including number theory (books 7 to 10), solid geometry, pyramids, and Platonic solids. These books were used for centuries in Western Europe; in fact, the basic geometry that many students learn in high school today is still largely based on Euclid's ideas on the subject.

So, Euclid is the Greek mathematician who wrote the most definitive text on geometry that is still referred to today.
