This is a good book for students who want to learn about where math came from and who devised math. The book not only talks about Euclid, but refers to other great mathematicians like Plato, Pythagoras, Eudoxus, and Aristotle. This book would be a great starting place for someone wanting to learn

about the history of math. The book includes a timeline of ancient mathematicians and a glossary. It also supplies a nice reading list for further reading. It has a bibliography. The book's author has studied ancient math/philosophers in college. Its a great book for a math teacher to use when introducing how and where math originated.
