Video 3: The iconic proof of the Pythagorean Theorem by Euclid

In this video, we delve into one of math’s most celebrated proofs: Euclid's Proof from Elements (Proposition 1.47). Journey back 2000 years and step into the geometric mindset of the Greeks, where we transform land and agricultural fields into a canvas of profound mathematical principles. With a story of a farmer named Leo, we illustrate the timeless truth of the Pythagorean Theorem through Euclid’s ingenious geometric constructions. Witness the elegance and brilliance of Euclid’s proof and appreciate how ancient geometry shapes our modern understanding. Here's a chance to see the beauty of math in action!
