Euclid (~300 B.C.).

Euclid started with 10 facts that were self-evident and required no proof, called "postulates" and "axioms." From those, he developed hundreds of propositions and theorems, which he proved using only the 10 postulates/axioms and previously proven theorems. The collection of this work was written in 13 books called "Euclid's Elements". Its logical, axiomatic approach and use of rigorous mathematical proofs has remained a model for mathematics and science for over 2000 years.
