Euclid of Alexandria
Εὐκλείδης ὁ Ἀλεξανδρεύς

Euclid of Alexandria and the Elements of Mathematics

17 works

Euclid of Alexandria, around 300 BCE, under Ptolemy I, is the name this site attaches to a Greek writer at Alexandria. Birthplace and schooling are not secured.

What this site holds is the list on this page: Phenomena in more than one recension, Catoptrics, Data and other demonstrations, a review of optics, Section of the Canon, Divisions of Figures, Elements with alternative demonstrations and a solid-geometry supplement, an epigram, and Optics. Lost Conics and Porisms are notices, not files. The Greek title of the big book is Στοιχεῖα. The Greek speaks of γεωμετρία and of ἀριθμητική as the στοιχεῖα arrange them. It is these Greek books in this corpus, not a later school-name for γεωμετρία, and not Newton.
