Which ancient Greek mathematician, known as 'The Father Of Geometry', wrote the hugely influential book 'Elements' that dominated European mathematics until the 19th century?
Euclid's Elements Euclid's Elements The Elements ( "Stoicheia") is a mathematical treatise consisting of 13 books attributed to the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid in Alexandria, Ptolemaic Egypt c. 300 BC. It is a collection of definitions, postulates, propositions (theorems and constructions), and mathematical proofs of the propositions. The books cover plane and solid Euclidean geometry, elementary number theory, and incommensurable lines. "Elements" is the oldest extant large-scale deductive treatment of mathematics. It has proven instrumental in the development of logic and modern science, and its logical rigor was not surpassed until the 19th century. Euclid's "Elements" has been referred to as the
Greek academic art of the 19th century Greek academic art of the 19th century The most important artistic movement of Greek art in the 19th century was academic realism, often called in Greece "the Munich School" () because of the strong influence from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Munich (), where many Greek artists trained. The Munich School painted the same sort of scenes in the same sort of style as Western European academic painters in several countries, and did generally not attempt to incorporate Byzantine stylistic elements into their work. The creation of romantic art in Greece can be explained mainly due to the
