  1. Hello, everyone. My name is
  2. Mohammed and I'm from grade 12 b,
  3. and today I'm going to be talking about the history of geometry.
  4. So today's presentation will include where it is derived
  5. from the father of geometry and his work,
  6. the first evidence of early geometry and last but not least, the applications.
  7. So the word geometry was derived from two Greek words.
  8. The first one is geo, meaning Earth and Matron,
  9. which means measure for the measurements of the earth.
  10. The father of geometry is called You Click of Alexandria.
  11. He wrote a treatise of 13 books or chapters titled The Elements of Geometry,
  12. in which he presents a geometry in an ideal axiomatic form,
  13. which came to be known as the Euclidean geometry.
  14. So these books or chapters have definitely have a collection of definitions
  15. and constructions, propositions and also approved the propositions.
  16. So here we have more information about you clit.
  17. He was born in mid fourth century BC in Egypt and died in mid third century,
  18. also in Egypt.
  19. So his work consisted of proving any two points can be joined by a straight line.
  20. Any finish straight line can be extended in a straight line.
  21. A circuit can be drawn with any centre in any radius.
  22. All right, angles are equal to each other, and he also proved that geometry,
  23. calculus and algebra are somewhat connected.
  24. So about the first evidence of early geometry.
  25. The earliest recorded beginnings of geometry can
  26. be traced to early peoples who discovered
  27. obtuse triangles in the ancient Indus Valley
  28. and ancient Babylonia from from around 3000 BC
  29. So Babylonia is an empire from 606 to 536 BC, and it is located between Syria,
  30. Iran and Iraq.
  31. So early geometry was basically a collection of principles regarding lands,
  32. angles, areas and volumes,
  33. and they were used to aid or support construction,
  34. astronomy and various crafts they had to produce for their daily lives.
  35. And it was proven that the Egyptians and the Babylonians were
  36. aware of the Pythagorean theorem 1500 years before anyone else,
  37. and they had the correct formula for the volume of the first time
  38. of a square pyramid.
  39. So to conclude today's presentation,
  40. we have the applications which are art architecture, other concepts of math,
  41. like calculus and algebra and also physics.
  42. So anyone interested in the architecture major.
  43. They have to grasp a brief idea about geometry
  44. because it is all about drawings and angles and art.
  45. So this is the end of today's presentation. Thank you.
