Geometry is the study of points, lines, surfaces, shapes, 3-dimensional solids, and the relationships that exist between them. In 300 BCE Euclid, commonly known as the “Father of Geometry,” wrote Elements which begins with a few basic agreed upon geometric truths. From these, he deduced the postulates and theorems students study in this course. Elements was so influential that it was used as a primary source of mathematics teaching for more than two thousand years.
