Shownotes Transcript

Euclid's *Elements *is considered one of the most foundational bodies of work in the field of mathematics. Written around 300 BCE (over 2,000 YEARS AGO!), it was a textbook that provided students the opportunity to learn most of the theories and propositions written at that time. However, even though it was groundbreaking, there was already a history of math that preceded this book, as you will find out. If you are interested in learning more about the history of math and science, please feel free to visit me at my website, www.mathsciencehistory.com)!
