What poople were credited with the systemization of geometry?
the Greeks
What is the purpose of Euclidean geometry?
The purpose of Euclidean Geometry is to understand plane (2-D) and solid (3-D) geometry with the understanding that things are "flat". Around 300BC Euclid organized the current knowledge of geometry in a series called the "13 elements" . Euclid was a famous Greek mathematician. The Greeks considered geometry to be its pride and joy. They were the first to ask important questions beginning with "How and Why". Their main goals were to spread their knowledge of Geometry and answer the question relating to the purpose of Geometry. The answer, the purpose of Geometry is to understand the purpose or existence of life (mankind) itself. Geometry is not just about shapes and things that have been created by mankind. Geometry is in nature and even exists in the things we cannot see. "Geo" means Earth and "metry" comes from the word meaning measurement. So, rightfully so geometry mean the measurement of earth. I will leave you with a famous pun- Without geometry, life is pointless. ---
