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!
2006-11-01 01:54:12 · update #2
square and triangle areas introduces by archemides beside circle
all other shapes areas and volumes came as a resul fo calclus which invented by sir issac newton
in 800-1500 muslims contributed a lotin circular geometry and arc lengths so they build mosqe with alot of arcs and domes in it
what i wrote abouve is to my kowlege and ont enough for ur project so this site may help

Look up Euclid.
Euclidean geometry is one of the cornerstones of mathematics.
Hope this helps
