2 Bio. Euclid Born: c. 365 BC Birthplace: Alexandria, Egypt Died: c. 275 BC Location of death: Alexandria, Egypt Cause of death: unspecified Gender: Male Race or Ethnicity: Middle Eastern Occupation: Mathematician, Educator Nationality: Ancient Greece Executive summary: Father of geometry

3 Famous For ? He is famous for his treatise on geometry: The Elements. The Elements makes Euclid one of if not the most famous mathematics teacher. The knowledge in the Elements has been the foundation for teachers of mathematics for over 2,000 years!

4 Life Expirences? He is sometimes credited with one original theory, a method of exhaustion through which the area of a circle and volume of a sphere can be calculated, but he left a much greater mark as a teacher. He presented the theorems and problems with great clarity, showed the solutions concisely and logically, and his Elements has remained a standard geometry text for more than two thousand years since his death.     University: Plato's Academy, Athens, Greece     Teacher: Library of Alexandria, Alexandria, Egypt
