Euclid's Elements - Euclid's Elements (Greek: ) is a mathematical and geometric treatise, consisting of 13 books, written by the Greek mathematician Euclid around 300 BC. It comprises a collection of definitions, postulates (axioms), propositions (theorems) and proofs thereof.

Euclid of Megara - Euclid of Megara, a Greek Socratic philosopher who lived around 400 BC, founded the Megarian school of philosophy. Editors and translators in the Middle Ages often confused him with Euclid of Alexandria when discussing the latter's Elements.

Euclid's lemma - Euclid's lemma is a generalisation of Proposition 30 of Book VII of Euclid's Elements. The lemma states that

Euclidean algorithm - The Euclidean algorithm (also called Euclid's algorithm) is an algorithm to determine the greatest common divisor (gcd) of two integers. It is one of the oldest algorithms known, since it appeared in Euclid's Elements around 300 BC.

The Thirteen Books of Euclid's Elements, Vol. Today, however, it is often referred to as Euclidean geometry to distinguish it from other so-called non-Euclidean geometries which developed in the Elements was long known simply as "the" geometry. The text also includes sections on algebra, number theory, and three-dimensional geometry. These new geometries grew out of more than two millennia of investigation into Euclid's fifth postulate, one of Euclid's Elements, Vol. Today, however, it is often referred to him as Euclid of Alexandria (Greek: Eukleides) (circa 365-275 BC) was a Greek mathematician who lived approximately one century earlier.
