Euclid is the most celebrated mathematician of all time. He lived in the third or fourth century B. C. E., after Plato but before Apollonius of Perga. His fame rests preeminently upon the Elements, which he wrote in thirteen books and which is said to have exercised an influence on the human mind greater than that of any other work except the Bible.
“This is a very well done prestigious book, containing the complete text of Euclid’s Elements in a single volume and at a reasonable price. It would be an adornment of every mathematician’s bookshelf”
-Benno Artmann, Mathematical Reviews
“This book (presents) the full text of Heath’s Euclid in one handsome volume. The production values of this edition are very high: the margins are wide, the paper is high quality, diagrams are always on the same page as the text that refers to them…If you want your students to really grapple with Euclid, this is the edition to choose.”
-Fernando Gouvea, MAA Online
