... Thus point C must be on circle K, and quadrilateral ABCD is inscribed in circle K. In this way, the center of circumcircle K will be the circumcenter of triangle ABD, triangle BCD, and quadrilateral ABCD. Therefore, the point of concurrence of the perpendicular bisectors of AB,BC,CD, and AD will be ...

Euclid`s Elements: Introduction to “Proofs”
... Euclid is famous for giving proofs, or logical arguments, for his geometric statements. We want to study his arguments to see how correct they are, or are not. First of all, what is a “proof”? We may have heard that in mathematics, statements are proved to be either true or false, beyond any shadow ...

History of geometry
Geometry (from the Ancient Greek: γεωμετρία; geo- ""earth"", -metron ""measurement"") arose as the field of knowledge dealing with spatial relationships. Geometry was one of the two fields of pre-modern mathematics, the other being the study of numbers (arithmetic).Classic geometry was focused in compass and straightedge constructions. Geometry was revolutionized by Euclid, who introduced mathematical rigor and the axiomatic method still in use today. His book, The Elements is widely considered the most influential textbook of all time, and was known to all educated people in the West until the middle of the 20th century.In modern times, geometric concepts have been generalized to a high level of abstraction and complexity, and have been subjected to the methods of calculus and abstract algebra, so that many modern branches of the field are barely recognizable as the descendants of early geometry.
