It is a compilation of earlier Greek mathematicians' works, including those of Pythagoras, Hippocrates of Chios, Theaetetus, and Eudoxus.
The work is renowned for its logical and systematic presentation, starting from a small set of axioms and developing deep mathematical results.
It has been a cornerstone of mathematics for over two thousand years and remains influential in modern geometry.
