Euclid

Euclid was an ancient Greek mathematician known as the "Father of Geometry." He wrote "Elements," a comprehensive work that systematized geometry and introduced fundamental concepts such as points, lines, and shapes. His logical approach, using axioms (self-evident truths) and proofs, laid the groundwork for modern mathematics. In geometrical optics, Euclid's principles help explain how light travels in straight lines, forming the basis for understanding reflections and refractions. His methods of reasoning continue to influence various fields, demonstrating the connection between mathematics and the physical world.
