Seeing the answers of all the member present on this page, now I also think that euclid is the right answer but according to my point of view pythagorus is the right answer.

This type of questions are highly abstract and based on ancient works. But we can CLEARLY conclude that, we have a great treasure of knowledge and strong epistemological outlook.

Yeah it is euclid!
He was active in Alexandria during the reign of Ptolemy I (323 - 283 BC). His Elements is one of the most influential works in the history of mathematics, serving as the main textbook for teaching mathematics (especially geometry) from the time of its publication until the late 19th or early 20th century. In the Elements, Euclid deduced the principles of what is now called Euclidean geometry from a small set of axioms. Euclid also wrote works on perspective, conic sections, spherical geometry, number theory and rigor.
