Who is known as the Father of Geometry?

Euclid is often referred to as the Father of Geometry due to his foundational work in the field, particularly his seminal text, "Elements." This work collected and systematized knowledge about geometry that had been developed by earlier scholars and mathematicians. In "Elements," Euclid introduced a rigorous logical framework in which he formulated definitions, postulates (axioms), and theorems, demonstrating the relationships between geometric figures and providing proofs for each theorem. This structured approach not only established the principles of geometry that are still taught today but also influenced the development of mathematical rigor in general.

In contrast, the other individuals listed, while significant in mathematics and science, did not specifically lay the groundwork for geometry in the same foundational way that Euclid did. Isaac Newton is primarily known for his contributions to calculus and physics, Archimedes for his work in physics and engineering, and Pythagoras for his contributions to number theory and the Pythagorean theorem. However, none of them produced the systematic treatment of geometry that characterizes Euclid's work.
