Euclid wrote a work called Stoicheia/Elements which is a thirteen volume collection of geometrical math work. it compiles lots of geometrical knowledge, based on others' works (thales, pythagoras, aristotle, plato, etc,...) he was also the founder of the Alexandrian School of Mathematics.
The formal study of geometry has been attributed to Euclid, who lived in Alexandria about 300 BC, but he also drew upon earlier works.
I would describe that statement, that Euclid was the first to apply for geometry, as confusing, rather than as being either true or false. People apply for jobs, they apply for loans, they apply for disability payments, they apply for grants, but they do not apply for geometry. People study geometry, they write about geometry (which is what Euclid did) and they use geometry to solve various problems, but they don't apply for geometry.

Geometry
His major contributions are in geometry and in his book The Elements. He gave many rules of geometry which are also used nowadays. Books of Euclid provide a base of geometry. Euclid's ideas and theories are still considered as basics of mathematics. His most famous work was Metric. Another contribution of Euclid was that he gave the practical ideas in Mathematics.
he studied geometry an some types of elements and portions.

Geometry was known for a very long time before Euclid made a systematic study of the subject.
Euclid was known as the Father of Geometry.
For his major study, Elements, Euclid collected the work of many mathematicians who preceded him. Among these were Hippocrates of Chios, Theudius, Theaetetus, and Eudoxus. Euclid's vital contribution was to gather, compile, organize, and rework the mathematical concepts of his predecessors into a consistent whole, later to become known as Euclidean geometry.More:http://www.bookrags.com/research/euclid-and-his-contributions-mmat-02/ Euclid's Elements is the basis of geometry taught in schools today, more than 2000 years after it was written.
