Euclidean Geometry Test
Attempt this simple quiz, if you are sure your grasp of mathematics is excellent. This mathematical concept was proposed by Euclid, a Greek mathematician, hence the topic's name. That point made, Euclidean geometry is important in many fields in which it is applied. Nonetheless, mathematics to many, is kind of boring which is a real shame.
