    been mathematics. Currently, I take Honors Geometry with an active professor. The class is intriguing, and I enjoy the lessons. Previously, we had been working on advanced geometric constructions such as creating an equilateral triangle and a regular hexagon. I grasped the techniques quickly, and used my leisurely hours to practice. Many of the sheets of paper in my binder consist of perpendicular line bisectors, or angle copies. One eventful day, my geometry educator passed out a blank piece of paper

    The Greek are one of the founders of geometry, and had a big impact on math and the world today. Greek geometry eventually passed into the hands of the great Islamic scholars, who translated it and added to it. All around us we can observe some geometrical principles, which is probably what started the ancients on their way to developing this field of study. The word geometry has its roots in the Greek work geometrein, which means “earth measuring”. There were many circumstances in which primitive

Euclid was able to perform this construction with just a straightedge and compass. As The Elements was published in 300 BC (Heiberg, Fitzpatrick, Euclid, pg 4)
