Introduction
[1]
Created in 300 B.C. by Euclid who lived in Alexandria, was Euclid's Elements. Euclid's Elements is made up of thirteen books that focus on geometry, proportion, and the number theory. The books are put together by the knowledge of the Greeks and was used for many centuries. [2]
Overview
Euclid's Elements are divided into the following books: triangles, rectangles, circles, polygons, proportion, similarity, number theory, number theory, number theory, number theory, solid geometry, pyramids and platonic solids. These books were created in 300 B.C. and were used for centuries. [3] Many people studied this book for centuries and it became an extremely popular text book for mathematics.
Significance
Euclid's Elements is significant in the history of computers because math is important in the process of designing electronic devices and creating programs. If one measurement is off then the whole object could be insufficient and ruined. Euclid's Elements compiled math into thirteen books and was the primary source to study from. This collaboration of math is part of the progression of a better understanding of math.
