Hello, everyone. I've looked at the books in my school library and I can't find who is the founder of geometry and polygons. Could anyone please tell me because I need an accurate answer for my school advanced mathematics project. Please let me know early because I need to find informations myself and present the project soon. Thank you.
Thank you for all of your replies. Anyway, I need clarrification: is the mathemetics area theory, length x width for squares and rectangles is actually introduced by Euclid?
Koki, I don't think Archimedes introduced area because he discovered volume!
