Euclid enters history as one of the greatest of all mathematicians and he is often referred to as the father of geometry. The standard geometry most of us learned in school is called Euclidian Geometry.

Statue of Euclid in Oxford (Public Domain).

Euclid gathered up all of the knowledge developed in Greek mathematics at that time and created his great work, a book called 'The Elements' (3rd century 300 BCE).

This treatise is unequaled in the history of science and could safely lay claim to being the most influential non-religious book of all time.
