Professor Heap has mentioned on numerous occasions on how Euclid established the tradition of proofs.After watching this video, I wonder that if the foundations of proofs that we have started learning in class had been established over 2300 years ago, then are we learning the exact way that every single mathematician has learned proofs? Are we learning the same stuff that Newton did in the 17th century or a royal mathematician lost to history in the Mali empire did?
Cool.
