euclid wanted to prove that things were true by using logic and reason.
Euclid did not discover math. Math is and was an ongoing process of discovery of the relationship between all things that can be expressed with math formulas. Most of what the ancient Greeks did was based on geometry. Euclid gathered all the geometric information together and tried to systematize it so that it would be easier to understand and easier to learn and/or use. He did nothing with the other branches of math.

Euclid OH is a city in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, in the US.
Euclid died in Alexandria, Egypt. Legend has it that he was working on geometry in a temple when a student interrupted him with a math problem, causing Euclid to exclaim, "There is no royal road to geometry!" before keeling over and passing away. Just kidding, he probably just died peacefully like the math legend he was.
