Questions:
Do you have more example of what Euclid define in the book “Elements”
Euclid discussed the elements of the number theory where he wrote that numbers greater
than 1 were positive integers.
The Pythagorean theorem owes its name to the ancient Greek philosopher Pythagoras of
Samos, but the oldest demonstration found is due to Euclid dating from 300 BC.
Do you think Euclid was the one who discovered all the sub-areas of geometry?
Open question
Today, I am going to talk about the article who invented geometry and for what?
First of all we will see “who invented geometry and what for, and then I’m going to talk about the
geometry and its sub-areas.
Geometry is the branch of mathematics concerned with the properties and relations of points, lines,
surfaces, solids, and higher dimensional analogues.
There are different sub-area in geometry, like coordinate geometry, fractal geometry, hyperbolic
geom. Abstract geom. And analytic geom.
Even though Euclid was the one who invented geometry, there were contributions from all over the
world that made it what it is today.

Who Developed Coordinate Geometry?
Rene Descartes (French) in the seventeenth century invented the coordinate system
This helped to link algebra and geometry.
Who Discovered Fractal Geometry?
Benoit Mandelbrot discovered the bulk (l’essentiel) of fractal geometry.
Who Developed Hyperbolic Geometry?
Felix Klein ,the German mathematician discovered (the) hyperbolic geometry.
Who Invented Abstract Geometry?
Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque invented (the) abstract geometry when they
discovered cubism.
Who Invented Analytic Geometry?
Rene Descartes and Pierre de Fermat
