Description
This book brings geometry to life with Euclid explaining the principles of Geometry to his friends. Full of fun, explanation and even jokes, this is the perfect introduction to a sometimes tricky subject.
Euclid lived 2300 years ago in Alexandria, in northern Egypt. His was a brilliant mind. He devised a method of learning Geometry starting from the simplest idea – an Axiom – something we can all agree is self-evident. Euclid built argument upon argument, creating a brilliantly simple system for learning Geometry which he wrote down in his book – Euclid’s Elements – which was still in everyday use in schools well into the 20th century.
