Placing dots at the lattice points [m,n] where m and n are coprime form this man's namesake orchard. His theorem of pons asinorum states that the base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal. The Chinese Remainder Theorem extends a method that repeatedly takes the difference between a pair of numbers to find their GCF, known as his namesake (*) algorithm. His most famous work also lists 10 axioms, one of which Playfair equated to the existence of only one line through a point not on a given line that does not intersect the given line; that is his parallel postulate. For ten points, identify this author of Elements, a Greek mathematician often called the "Father of Geometry."
