Euclid Information

Lived about 300 BCE before Archimedes and after Plato.

Very little is known about his personal life.

Five works Euclid wrote that have survived until today:

1. The Elements
2. Data -- a companion volume to the first six books of the Elements written for beginners. It includes geometric methods for the solution of quadratics.
3. Division of Figures -- a collection of thirty-six propositions concerning the division of plane configurations. It survived only by Arabic translations.
4. Phaenomena -- on spherical geometry, it is similar to the work by Autolycus
5. Optics -- an early work on perspective including optics, catoptrics, and dioptrics.

We know that we don't  have all of his works because later writers mention them, such as Surface Loci, Prisms, Conics, and the Pseudaria.
