Euclid and his friends are fun characters who teach the basics of geometry in a new and exciting way. Aimed at encouraging techies to draw and artists to see maths in a new way, Euclid – The Man Who Invented Geometry, is rip-roaring journey through simple geometry that uses storytelling, jokes and video to explain Euclid’s simple, axiomatic principles.
What are axiomatic principles? Euclid starts at the very beginning with a dot on the page, then two dots connected by a line. Three dots connected make a triangle, and so on. Adding simple elements, bit by bit, Euclid builds up the rules and understanding of Geometry.
