چکیده
I.4: “If two triangles have the two sides equal to two sides respectively, and have the angles contained by the equal straight lines equal, they will also have the base equal to the base, the triangle will be equal to the remaining angles respectively, namely those which the equal sides subtend.” I.9: “To bisect a given rectilinear angle.” I.10: “To bisect a given finite straight line.” I.11: “To draw a straight line at right angles to a given straight line from a given point on it.” I.12: “To a given infinite straight line, from a given point which is not on it, to draw a perpendicular straight line.” I.13: “If a straight line set up on a straight line make angles, it will make either two right angles or angles equal to two right angles.” I.23: “On a given straight line and at a point on it to construct a rectilinear angle equal to a given rectilinear angle.” I.26: “If two triangles have the two angles equal to two angles respectively, and one side equal to one side, namely, either the side adjoining the equal angles, or that subtending one of the equal angles, they will also have the remaining sides equal to the remaining sides and the remaining angle to the remaining angle.” I.32: “In any triangle, if one of the sides be produced, the exterior angle is equal to the two interior and opposite angles, and the three interior angles of the triangle are equal to two right angles.” I.36: “Parallelograms which are on equal bases and in the same parallels are equal to one another.” I.38: “Triangles which are on equal bases and in the same parallels are equal to one another.” I.41: “If a parallelogram have the same base with a triangle and be in the same parallels, the parallelogram is double of the triangle.” I.46: “On a given straight line to describe a square.” I.47: “In right-angled triangles the square on the side subtending the right angle is equal to the squares on the sides containing the right angle.”

Computability and analysis: the legacy of Alan Turing
For most of its history, mathematics was algorithmic in nature. The geometric claims in Euclid’s Elements fall into two distinct categories: “problems,” which assert that a construction can be carried out to meet a given specification, and “theorems,” which assert that some property holds of a particular geometric configuration. For example, Proposition 10 of Book I reads “To bisect a given str...
متن کاملTeaching Geometry According to Euclid, Volume 47, Number 4
460 NOTICES OF THE AMS VOLUME 47, NUMBER 4 I n the fall semester of 1988, I taught an undergraduate course on Euclidean and nonEuclidean geometry. I had previously taught courses in projective geometry and algebraic geometry, but this was my first time teaching Euclidean geometry and my first exposure to non-Euclidean geometry. I used the delightful book by Greenberg [8], which I believe my stu...

متن کامل“the Whole Is Greater than the Part.” Mereology in Euclid’s Elements
The present article provides a mereological analysis of Euclid’s planar geometry as presented in the first two books of his Elements. As a standard of comparison, a brief survey of the basic concepts of planar geometry formulated in a set-theoretic framework is given in Section 2. Section 3.2, then, develops the theories of incidence and order (of points on a line) using a blend of mereology an...
