Hippocrates and Euclid made their greatest achievements in the fields of Mathematics, Medicine, and Engineering.
Geometry
Euclid is given the honor of being the Father of Geometry. In his book, 'The Elements', Euclid defines the concept of points, lines and planes and together with postulates and theorems develops the subject known as geometry. This occurred in around 300 BCE.
Hippocrates drove out a plague in Athens. He created a new field of medicine for people to study in. He did other stuff that will remain a mystery until someone builds a time machine.
The Babylonians, Egyptians, and Greeks were involved in the early development of geometry. However, the Greeks were major contributors to this field. Pythagoras, Thales, and Euclid are some men most famous for their contributions to this field.
