HONORED AS GREAT TEACHER
Works Of Euclid, Ancient Matthews atI-
clan, the Foundation Of the
Science Of Geometry.

Euclid was an ancient mathemati-
clan, who is said by some to have
fourished in the third century before
the Christian era. 1t is generally
held that he was a Greek. but the date
and place Of his birth are unknown.
1t is generally held that much Of his
work was done at Alexandria, Egypt,
which in those ancient times was q
famous seat Of learning and the cen.
ter of extensive commerce. The most
famous work Of Euclid that has come
down to us Is the Elements of Geom-
etry in 13 books. The first six are the
most valuable. They contain the
foundation Of geometry. on which ia
based several branches Of higher
mathematics. These books are stilk
used in schools and colleges. The
next three books deal with the prop
critics Of numbers but they are super
seded by modern arithmetic. Euclid
also left other works, such as treatises
on harmony and optics.
