'''Euclide''' was a Greek mathematician who lived 325-365 B.C. in Hellenistic [[Alexandria]]. He was the father of geometry and wrote the ''[[Elements]]'' which is considered to be one of the most succesful mathematics textbooks ever. Euclid's Elements focuses mainly on geometry but also has a small amount of number theory dealing with [[prime number|prime numbers]] and even [[perfect number|perfect numbers]].
== Other Works ==
Euclid wrote other works but not all are extant. Other extant works include [[Euclid's Optics]] and [[Euclid's Data|Data]].
