“We do a disservice to young people by not teaching them all the steps in mathematics, because it’s liberating to know. And by discarding Euclid, you have cut them off from a way to understand logic, from which all accurate reasoning comes. And you have cut them off from also understanding the beauty of the relationships in nature.”
Larry P. Arnn, President

Today, more than ever, we need logic and sound reasoning in defense of truth. And one of the best ways to develop the skills is through the study of Euclidean Geometry.

For more than 2,300 years, Euclid’s Elements has provided the foundation for countless students to learn how to reason with precision and pursue knowledge in all fields of learning. This classic text of Western civilization provides profound tools to distinguish truth from error by means of self-evident principles.
In this course, you will study the transformation of mathematics by the ancient Greeks, discover the fundamentals of logic and deductive reasoning, examine the central proofs of Euclid, learn about the birth of modern geometry, and much more.
