A Re-Release of Euclid's "Elements" as Modern-Day Design Manual
13 volumes collected into one book, cleanly designed
By Rain Noe - September 5, 2017
The Elements is to math as the Bible is to Christianity. Written circa 300 B.C. by Greek mathematician Euclid, the 13-volume series contained everything the ancient Greeks knew about geometry.
