Because René Descartes developed the Cartesian coordinate system, this system allows geometric shapes to be expressed in algebraic equations. Descartes' works is still today the basis in analytic geometry.

One main characteristic of non-Euclidean geometry is hyperbolic geometry. The other is elliptic geometry. Non-Euclidean geometry is still closely related to Euclidean geometry.
Yes. The geometry taught in today's public schools is based on Euclidian geometry.
It evolved in 3000 bc in mesopotamia and egypt Euclid invented the geometry text in Ancient Greece. His methods are still used today. It is generally attributed to Euclid, a Greek mathematician. In fact, basic geometry is called even today "Euclidian geometry".
There have been and still are, many Indian mathematicians who have made significant contributions.
Euclid, the Greek mathematician, also known as the Father of Geometry and Euclid of Alexandria, is best known for his 13 volumes of mathematics texts called Elements. He taught at the university in Alexandria, Egypt, and while there he published many theories developed by other mathematicians, along with their proofs, in Elements. Euclidean geometry from more than 2,000 years ago forms the basis of the geometry still taught in schools today.
Euclid laid the basis of geometry still used today.
Gauss is ranked along with Archimedes and Newton as one of the three greatest mathematicians of all times. He is considered to be the founder of modern mathematics and made fundamental contributions to science. A child prodigy (he taught himself to read and count and corrected his father's calculation at the age of three), Gauss was way ahead of his contemporaries and made important discoveries decades before the other mathematicians (including the basis of non euclidean geometry). Gauss works defined the mathematical path to be followed in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. He still serves as an inspiration to today's mathematicians.
During the Golden Age in Greece many of the most known philosophers, mathematicians, astronomers flourished in Athens. It was during that time that people like Plato, Aristotle and Socrates wandered in the alleys of ancient Agora (Αγορά in Greek) and taught the philosophical systems that are the basis for philosophy even now. During that time Euclides (Ευκλίδης in Greek) write his "Elements of Geometry", which are STILL used as the basis of geometry today. And the list goes on...

You're probably referring to Euclid, whose theories on geometry are still used today, hence "Euclidean Geometry". If it's not Euclid , Pythagoras was also quite well-known for maths, geometry and the like.
