Description

Award-winning author Shoo Rayner brings the story of the father of geometry to life with Euclid explaining the principles of geometry to his friends.

Euclid lived 2,300 years ago in Alexandria, in northern Egypt and he devised a method of learning Geometry starting from an Axiom – something we can all agree is self-evident. Euclid built argument upon argument, creating a simple system for learning geometry which he wrote down in his book – Euclid’s Elements – which is still in use in schools in our times.
