It is generally agreed that he taught geometry in Hellenistic Egypt, at Alexandria during the reign of Ptolemy I, between 305 and 285 B.C. He is credited with the thirteen volumes of Elements, a work that accumulated mathematical knowledge and codified it into a deductive system of proofs. Euclidean geometry was the geometry until the 19th century, when mathematicians began to challenge Euclid's assumptions about parallel lines when considering measurements over very large distances of, say, billions of light years. Euclids theories and knowledge impacted scientists throughout history froever. Also The book Elements is still used today as a reference for Math Textbooks.
