In the context of Mathematics and Geometry, what does the term 'axioms' refer to?

  1. Fundamental assumptions or statements considered self-evident.

  2. Complex mathematical equations used for problem-solving.

  3. Geometric shapes with specific properties and characteristics.

  4. Units of measurement employed in geometric calculations.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Axioms serve as the foundation for mathematical and geometric systems, providing a starting point for deducing theorems and exploring relationships.

Which ancient Greek mathematician is widely regarded as the 'Father of Geometry'?
