Free sample course: Euclid's Elements, Book I

To show how Poema courses work, we offer a sample course from Euclid's Elements, which for over two thousand years has taught students how to reason: from a few definitions, postulates and common notions to forty-eight propositions, ending with the theorem of Pythagoras. Students read Euclid himself, in T. L. Heath's 1908 translation (public domain), and learn to construct and prove.

The course has 14 self-paced units. In each unit the student reads the text, works through it with the Mathematics tutor, and answers a short mastery check before the next unit opens. Units 1–3 are free for anyone to try, with no sign-in. Units 4–14 are for enrolled students.
