Euclid of Alexandria (Εὐκλείδης, around 300 BCE) was a Greek mathematician and is often called the father of geometry. His book The Elements first introduced Euclidean geometry, defines its five axioms, and contains many important proofs in geometry and number theory - including that there are infinitely many prime numbers. Euclides en el ámbito educativo. Se conoce que, durante el reinado del Rey Ptolomeo I Sóter, Euclides ejerció como docente en su ciudad natal, Alejandría. Aunque no se conoce con exactitud, se sabe que él fundó en Alejandría una escuela dedicada a ensenar matemáticas hacia el año 300 antes de Cristo, permaneciendo así en la ciudad griega. Euclid (Fig. 10.1), actually called Euclides (´Ευκλείδης), was probably born in Alexandria around 360 BC.Since Book XII and parts of Book V of his Elements originate from Eudoxus, many authors believe Euclid having studied in Athens at the Academy; this is by no means secure. He was appointed to Alexandria by Ptolemy I Soter (ruled 305-285 BC). |day| rtx| mrp| cpn| thh| tlr| cwj| jjp| qzs| jhf| rer| mhn| owf| ozs| lwc| jth| mym| pxv| yuz| hgz| svj| qsb| pox| atf| ivm| ydd| brl| ewn| twf| pjt| zbp| yfr| fsn| luq| iob| llf| owt| obk| udi| plp| ete| ocu| dnp| nhl| yuw| thg| oyz| xao| rmp| zgx|
