008. Preparing: Or the day we catch up and prepared for Euclid

The main thing in our plate for today was to catch up with delayed assignments, keep working on Prezi for the book list and improve our documentation. I have to be honest and say that I was seriously confronted for the first time with my concentration issues. I get distracted so easily! It is so hard for me to focus! And add to that 18 amazing persons with which you can have great dialogues... I didn’t advance that much and it would pass me a bill later. But this chances to work individually helped me to positionate me in the map of my abilities and things to improve.

Euclid’s Preface

We start reading for the first time Euclid... well that is not quite true. We start reading the book preface written by the editors. It explained the parts of the proposition [!] and some general directions to understand better Euclid. I honestly found the exercise very tiring since I wanted to start reading Euclid! And even when I didn’t enjoy that much that activity I think it will be very useful to have those concepts really clear. What I do loved was the story of the vicissitudes that the text had and how we can connect by reading this book to a tradition with thousands of years!!!! Just amazing!
