14. Euclid (fl. c. 300 BCE in Alexandria, Egypt) was a Greek mathematician best known for his text Elements, which almost from the time of its writing, exerted a continuous and major influence on human affairs. It was the primary source of geometric and deductive reasoning, theorems, and methods at least until the advent of non-Euclidean geometry in the late 19th century. Other than the Bible, the Elements may be the most translated, published, and studied book in the Western world.
