Geometry ? a Greek term meaning ?measure of the earth? Geometry is concerned with questions of size, shape, and relative positions of figures. The ancient Greek mathematician Euclid applied rigorous logic to the properties of Geometry and created an axiomatic system. Axiom ? self-evident truth that provides a starting point for deductive reasoning; sometimes called a ?postulate? Euclid was so influential that his textbook Elements was taught for over two millennia. What we study is called ?Euclidean Geometry.? There is also non-Euclidean Geometry, which is beyond the scope of this course.

european history
By 47 BCE Caesar had won the civil war against Pompei, and soon became dictator, planning a major reconstruction of republican government. He was assassinated in 44, however, by a conspiracy of senators acting to save the Republic. Marcus Antonius then stepped forward as major claimant to power, while the Senate coalesced around Octavian, an heir listed in Caesar's will. After indecisive battles, the two put off final conflict in a second triumvirate, including Lepidus. Finally, the former two broke, and in 30 BCE, Octavian defeated Mark Antony at Actium. In the next twenty years, Octavian (now named Augustus) created the Principate, a new form of Roman government giving increased powers to a non-elective Princeps who would evolve into Emperor by the mid-first century CE.

1. United China-all of the Chinese states were brought together to form China's first empire during the Chin dynasty. 2. Emperor Shi Huangdi- the first emperor of China; he unified the states and centralized the control. 3. Standardization- Emperor Shi Huangdi standardized an abundance of things, including weights, measures, law, and coinage (money). 4. Legalism- The Chin dynasty’s success was mainly because of the legalist “iron fist” that they used to lead the empire. Shi Huangdi implemented the harsh legalist system. Intellect was discouraged. To do this they burnt books and put an end to Confucianism by persecuting Confucian scholars and leaders.
