Euclid: The Man Who Invented Geometry

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 was a brilliant man who lived 2300 years ago in Alexandria, in northern Egypt. 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.
