Who is recognised as the Father of Geometry ?

b) Pythagoras
c) Johann Kepler
d) Euclid
Answer »Answer: (d)
Euclid, also known as Euclid of Alexandria, was a Greek mathematician, often referred to as the “Father of Geometry”.
He was active in Alexandria during the reign of Ptolemy I (323–283 BC). Euclid deduced the principles of what is now called Euclidean geometry from a small set of axioms. Euclid also wrote works on perspective, conic sections, spherical geometry, number theory and rigour.
Although many of the results in Elements originated with earlier mathematicians, one of Euclid’s accomplishments was to present them in a single, logically coherent framework, making it easy to use and easy to reference, including a system of rigorous mathematical proofs that remains the basis of mathematics 23 centuries later.
