Both of these don't quite get across
the main point,
although the German pages do much better
than the English ones.
It is only partly clear from these
that the tradition of mathematics
as proof is based almost entirely
on Euclid's Elements - or what
a tremendous role it played in getting us
to where we are now. It is indubitably
one of the masterpieces, not just of
mathematics, but of human achievement,
but you would probably not
come away from these quite realizing
how amazing this story is. Nor would you
have any detailed idea of the both achievements and failures
of the book,
nor any of the history in various parts of
the world. The German pages at least mention
Hilbert's reworking of the axioms
of geometry in the late 19th century,
but subtlety is lost.
One thing to keep in mind is that, as far as we can tell,
Euclid summarized the mathematics of his time
so well that his predecessors' work disappeared from sight.
