Ancient peoples in the Mediterranean region, particularly Greece and Egypt, are thought to have developed early forms of geometry to establish land boundaries, etc., several thousand years ago. Their basic knowledge of geometry eventually developed into the mathematics needed to design and erect huge structures like the Egyptian pyramids and the great buildings of ancient Greece. Many different geometric theories were developed over the centuries, often without adequate proofs. A Greek mathematician named Euclid collected all the proven mathematic theories of his time and collated them in a 13 volume treatise called Elements. Elements is still used, more than 2 millennium later, as the basis of modern geometry in today's elementary schools.

Who was the greek mathematician who develop geometry?
Euclid
Basic algebra and geometry first created by what civilization?
The Sumerians (Sumerian Civilization) was the first to develop algebra and geometry
Who was the mathematician to develop the coordinate geometry?
He was the French mathematician Rene Descartes
Why we must study geometry?
We must study geometry because it helps develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Geometry also has real-world applications in fields such as architecture, engineering, and graphic design. Additionally, understanding geometry can enhance spatial awareness and visualization abilities.
How do you do better in Geometry proofs?
Practice them. You need to do many of them and do them over and over again.
