Known as the "Father of Geometry," Euclid lived during the reign of Ptolemy in Alexandria, Egypt. His thirteen volume textbook, Elements, was considered the preeminent treatise on mathematics for over 2,000 years. Elements is the most studied textbook of all time and the best selling book in history next to the Bible.
