Congress the authority to establish lower federal

Little is know about Euclid, the father of
geometry. Records show that he lived somewhere
around 300 B. C. He was a Greek mathematician and

Since little is known about the personal life of
Euclid, it is difficult to do a biography on him.
His chief work, entitled Elements, is a
comprehensive essay on mathematics. It includes 13
volumes that entail such subjects as plane
geometry, dealing with the properties of flat
surfaces and of planar figures, suc...
