Geometry defines the world around us, helping us make sense of everything from architecture to military science to fashion. And for over two thousand years, geometry has been equated with Euclid’s __Elements__, arguably the most influential book in the history of mathematics In __The King of Infinite Space__, renowned mathematics writer David Berlinski provides a concise homage to this elusive mathematician and his staggering achievements.

Euclid’s use of elemental logic—and the mathematical statements he and others built from it—have dramatically expanded the frontiers of human knowledge.__The King of Infinite Space__ presents a rich, accessible treatment of Euclid and his beautifully simple geometric system, which continues to shape the way we see the world.
