As a successful Greek mathematician, he is very proud of his work. On one poster is an illustration of an isosceles triangle, one of many mathematical concepts that Euclid described in his writings. On another poster is a visual representation of the Number theory, another topic covered in Euclid's writings. The Number theory is a branch of pure mathematics which focuses on the study of integers and integer-valued functions. On the final poster, Euclid's demonstration of the Pythagorean theorem is illustrated. This famous illustration makes it easy to visualize the Pythagorean theorem, and it was a topic in Euclid's book titled "Elements." Euclid also keeps the original copy of this book in his dorm room. Because his illustration of the Pythagorean theorem was such a call to fame for him, Euclid keeps a little model windmill on his desk at all times to further the flex. The significance of the windmill to the Pythagorean theorem is that Euclid's drawing of the Pythagorean theorem is often referred to as the Windmill proof since it resembles a windmill.
The remaining artifacts in Euclid's dorm room reflect more personal information about him rather than information about his academic accomplishments. The license plate reveals where Euclid is from (Alexandria, Egypt). The portrait of Euclid gives us an idea of what he looked like. Finally, the paper plate reads the title that Euclid is most proud of: The Father of Geometry. He was also often called the father of mathematics.]]> 2019-12-17 23:50:23 UTC https://padlet.com/14755921/37bzmn6jx773/wish/425277056
