Geometry (from the Ancient Greek: γεωμετρία; geo- earth, -metron measurement) arose as the field of knowledge dealing with spatial relationships. Geometry was one of the two fields of pre-modern mathematics, the other being the study of numbers (arithmetic). Classic geometry was focused in compass and straightedge constructions. Geometry was revolutionized by Euclid, who introduced mathematical rigor and the axiomatic method still in use today.

Euclid is often referred to as the Father of Geometry, and he wrote perhaps the most important and successful mathematical textbook of all time, the Stoicheion or Elements, which represents the culmination of the mathematical revolution which had taken place in Greece up to that time.

Archimedes (287-212 BC), of Syracuse, Sicily, when it was a Greek city-state, is often considered to be the greatest of the Greek mathematicians, and occasionally even named as one of the three greatest of all time (along with Isaac Newton and Carl Friedrich Gauss).

But all this history, made mathematicians wonder what would happen if we deny the axiom. And this was the begin of some non-Euclid geometries. (This axiom was sayin that if you have a line and a specific point out of this line, then, there is only one line parallel to the other, that passes from this point)

Euclid also proved what is generally known as Euclid's second theorem: the number of primes is infinite. The beautiful proof Euclid gave of this theorem is still a gem and is generally acknowledged to be one of the classic proofs of all times in terms of its conciseness and clarity.

Euclid (c. 325-265 BC), of Alexandria, probably one of Plato’s students, wrote a treatise in 13 books (chapters), titled The Elements of Geometry, in which he presented geometry in an ideal axiomatic form, which came to be known as Euclidean geometry.

The first definitive work (or at least oldest existent) on geometry in China was the Mo Jing, the Mohist canon of the early philosopher Mozi (470-390 BC). It was compiled years after his death by his followers around the year 330 BC.

As Jamaica said, he was a Greek mathematician. He went to Alexandria, where most (and maybe all) the great mathematicians took their lessons. He is considered as a platonic philossopher, since he followed the pyramid way of logic (starting from basic things and going with logical steps to higher and deeper answares).

Greek geometer who wrote the Elements , the world's most definitive text on geometry. The book synthesized earlier knowledge about geometry, and was used for centuries in western Europe as a geometry textbook.
