Geometry in Everyday Life Geometry in everyday life Geometry was thoroughly organized in about 300bc‚ when the Greek mathematician‚ Euclid gathered what was known at the time; added original work of his own and arranged 465 propositions into 13 books‚ called Elements. Geometry was recognized to be not just for mathematicians. Anyone can benefit from the basic learning of geometry‚ which is to follow the lines reasoning. Geometry is one of the oldest sciences and is concerned with questions

Calculus Calculus is an integral part of the mathematics world. Various mathematicians coming from all parts of the world have shaped this theorem but the two main contributors are Sir Isaac Newton and Wilhelm Von Leibniz. The reason they are considered the inventors of Calculus is because they were able to give a unified approach to tangent and area problems unlike the others who used specific methods. Both of these mathematicians developed general concepts Newton was associated with the fluxion and
