Geometry was one of the two fields of pre-modernmathematics‚ the other being the study of numbers (arithmetic). Classic geometry was focused in compass and straightedge constructions. Geometry was revolutionized by Euclid‚ who introduced mathematical rigor and the axiomatic method still in use today. His book‚ The Elements is widely considered the most influential textbook

The second group
