Explore a unique perspective on Euclid's Elements in this 2-hour seminar presented by Carlos Álvarez Jiménez from UNAM. Delve into a fresh approach to reading and interpreting the foundational work of Euclidean geometry, focusing specifically on Books I and II. Examine how these books can be viewed as a geometric inquiry guided by "fundamental theorems," offering a new lens through which to understand the classical problem of the foundations of mathematics. Gain insights into the philosophy of mathematics and the significance of identifying fundamental theorems in the field. Participate in this thought-provoking discussion that bridges ancient mathematical texts with contemporary philosophical inquiry, presented as part of the Orange County Inland Empire (OCIE) Seminar series in History and Philosophy of Mathematics at Chapman University's Schmid College.
