| | Euclid's Elements form one of the most beautiful and influential works of
science in the history of humankind. Its beauty lies in its logical
development of geometry and other branches of mathematics. It has influenced
all branches of science but none so much as mathematics and the exact
sciences. The Elements have been studied 24 centuries in many languages
starting, of course, in the original Greek, then in Arabic, Latin, and many
modern languages.
This version of Euclid's Elements demonstrates how Java applets can be used
to illustrate geometry and bring the Elements alive.
The text of all 13 Books is complete, and all of the figures are illustrated
using the Geometry Applet, even those in the last three books on solid
geometry that are three-dimensional.
