With Archimedes and Apollonius of Perga, Euclid is generally considered among the greatest mathematicians of antiquity, and one of the most influential in the history of mathematics. Very little is known of Euclid's life, and most information comes from the scholars Proclus and Pappus of Alexandria many centuries later.

Euclid (flourished c. 300 bce, Alexandria, Egypt) was the most prominent mathematician of Greco-Roman antiquity, best known for his treatise on geometry, the Elements.
