When human beings enter the primitive society, they need mathematics. From early knotting to learning to count, to simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, these are all mathematical problems encountered in human daily life. Mathematics is graded, just like the operation of natural numbers is the level of primary school students, beyond which primary school students can't understand it.
Just as primary school students have unknowns, the occurrence and development of mathematics evolved from low level to high level. The first thing that human beings understand is arithmetic. After a period of development, arithmetic developed to equations and functions, and then to modern mathematics.
Great achievements were made in the development of human mathematics in ancient Greece. It is strange that the logarithmic operation in ancient Greece was not outstanding. On the contrary, geometry, which can only be learned in middle schools, laid the foundation in ancient Greece. Those who have studied geometry are no strangers to Euclid. Euclid was an ancient Greek mathematician and was called "the father of geometry".
His most famous book, The Elements of Geometry, is the foundation of European mathematics, and puts forward five postulates, Euclidean Geometry, which is widely regarded as the most successful textbook in history. Euclid also wrote some works about perspective, conic curve, spherical geometry and number theory.
Geometry plays a very important role in the education of ancient Greece. The six Greek arts advocated by Plato include geometry. Later, Greek culture declined, Greece was invaded, and books in Greek libraries were looted and preserved by Arabs.
There is a saying that it is the Arabs' reservation of Greek and Latin documents that makes Europeans come back to learn from them and find back the "lost" Hiro culture. These include Plato's theory and Euclidean geometry. After the darkness of the Middle Ages, the ancient Greek and Roman culture was restored in Europe, and then the European Renaissance came into being.
