Question

What was the name of the treatise in which Euclid compiled all the existing geometric knowledge, along with some of his own observations, to provide a logical structure and progression for geometry?

Answer 1

Hello,

It is "THE ELEMENTS" of Euclid in 13 books.

Answer 2

"The Elements" is the mathematical treatise written by Euclid, which consist of 13 books. This Book is all about Geometry which consist of definitions, postulates, propositions (theorems and constructions), and mathematical proofs of the propositions. The books is about

(a)Plane

(b)Solid Euclidean geometry,

(c)Elementary number theory,

(d) Incommensurable lines.

That is this book is all about Geometrical Knowledge.

→Elements is the oldest written deductive treatment of mathematics written around 300 B.C.

→Helps in the growth of logic and modern science, which provide a logical structure and progression for geometry.
