Important people in geometry?
Euclid
Is it True Or false Euclid Was the first to apply for geometry?
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.
What did Euclid acomplish?
He is known as "The Father of Geometry". He founded a school over 2,000 years ago in Alexandria, Egypt. He also created a book called "The Elements" which is made up of 13 Volumes. There is NO known record of Euclid's parents, siblings, marriage, or childhood. Some people also say he was one of the three greatest mathematicians of antiquity. For more extra information type Euclid in wikipedia. you will get an introduction, life and his works.
Brief history of geometry?
Geometry (Greek γεωμετρία; geo = earth, metria = measure) arose as the field of knowledge dealing with spatial relationships. Geometry was one of the two fields of pre-modern mathematics, the other being the study of numbers (arithmetic).Classic geometry was focused in compass and straightedge constructions. Geometry was revolutionized by Euclid, who introduced mathematical rigor and the axiomatic method still in use today. His book, The Elements is widely considered the most influential textbook of all time, and was known to all educated people in the West until the middle of the 20th century.[1]In modern times, geometric concepts have been generalized to a high level of abstraction and complexity, and have been subjected to the methods of calculus and abstract algebra, so that many modern branches of the field are barely recognizable as the descendants of early geometry
Is thales also the father of geometry?
most people believe that Elucid of Alaxander is the father of greek geometry by publishing all-time best-sellers book, The Elements. However the real father of Geometry is Thales. So you are correct.
