He was a Greek mathematician and is probably best known for his work Elements. 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‚ such as the triangle; proportion in general‚ a particular kind of relation between groups of numbers or quantities;

No great discoveries in history every made‚ without the intervention of this mystical ray we call Mathematics.

DISCRETE MATHEMATICS Discrete mathematics is the study of mathematical structures that are fundamentally discrete rather than continuous. In contrast to real numbers that have the property of varying "smoothly"‚ the objects studied in discrete mathematics – such as integers‚ graphs‚ and statements in logic – do not vary smoothly in this way‚ but have distinct‚ separated values. Discrete mathematics therefore excludes topics in "continuous mathematics" such as calculus and analysis. Discrete objects

The constant is also known as Archimedes Constant‚ although this name is rather uncommon in modern‚ western‚ English-speaking contexts. Many formulae from mathematics‚ science‚ and engineering involve π‚ which is one of the most important mathematical and physical constants.[5] π is an irrational number‚ which means that its value cannot be expressed exactly as a fraction m/n‚ where m and n are integers.

Decline of the Greek Mathematics Historically‚ the Greek Mathematics had reached a high level in Greece and its colonies during the Hellenic era‚ beginning in the sixth century B.C.E. and ending in 476 C.E. when the barbarians invaded Rome. Although there were achievements made during the Roman Empire‚ the Greeks have had their best productive times before the Roman Empire – the end of third century B.C.E. Although there might be many reasons why the Greek mathematics decline‚ I think that the
