Little is known about the life of Euclid, who lived and taught in Alexandria around 300 B.C.E. However, more of his writings have survived than any other ancient mathematician.
This web version of his classic text uses the Geometry Java Applet to illustrate the figures and allow the reader to dynamically manipulate the diagrams. Created by Dr. David E. Joyce, Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science at Clark University, the introduction says:
“Euclid's Elements form one of the most beautiful and influential works of science in the history of humankind. Its beauty lies in its logical development of geometry and other branches of mathematics.”
