Geometry was developed by ancient civilizations in Egypt, Mesopotamia, and the Indus Valley, among others. It arose out of the need to calculate measurements for purposes of construction, surveying, and navigation.
Presumably at the birth of the Universe.
300bc
Euclid
archimedes of italy
Euclid is the person credited with the invention of geometry. However the first uses of geometry are recorded to be over 5 thousand years old near the Indus Valley.
Geometry can be traced to the Chinese about 500BC, in the 3rd century BC, Euclid set a standard that that would be followed for many centuries
at the start it was but as the years went on it started to spread though out the world so your answer is no
Euclidean geometry has become closely connected with computational geometry, computer graphics, convex geometry, and some area of combinatorics. Topology and geometry The field of topology, which saw massive developement in the 20th century is a technical sense of transformation geometry. Geometry is used on many other fields of science, like Algebraic geometry. Types, methodologies, and terminologies of geometry: Absolute geometry Affine geometry Algebraic geometry Analytic geometry Archimedes' use of infinitesimals Birational geometry Complex geometry Combinatorial geometry Computational geometry Conformal geometry Constructive solid geometry Contact geometry Convex geometry Descriptive geometry Differential geometry Digital geometry Discrete geometry Distance geometry Elliptic geometry Enumerative geometry Epipolar geometry Euclidean geometry Finite geometry Geometry of numbers Hyperbolic geometry Information geometry Integral geometry Inversive geometry Inversive ring geometry Klein geometry Lie sphere geometry Non-Euclidean geometry Numerical geometry Ordered geometry Parabolic geometry Plane geometry Projective geometry Quantum geometry Riemannian geometry Ruppeiner geometry Spherical geometry Symplectic geometry Synthetic geometry Systolic geometry Taxicab geometry Toric geometry Transformation geometry Tropical geometry
The Greeks started it This is a difficult question to answer since geometry has been around in one form or another as long as there has been written history. The Egyptians were making use of geometry to build pyramids even in prehistoric times. It was the Greeks, however who first began to rigorously study geometry and try to prove facts about it. Euclid was perhaps the most notable geometer of ancient mathematics and it was he who first axiomatized the subject (carefully defined the concepts crucial to geometry).
* geometry in nature * for practcal use of geometry * geometry as a theory * historic practical use of geometry
There are a multitude, but you are most likely looking for Pythagoras, or one of his more famous pupils Hippocrates
