    Yes - because the book is full of proofs - everything Euclid said, Euclid proved. Hippocrates didn't appear to concern himself as much with proof. I hated Euclidean Geometry in High School. I barely squeaked through it. But I liked Greek Club - extra-curricular Greek lessons.

    And hey - if you know Euclid (and a bit of Trig, maybe) you can build a roof. You can't learn that from Hippocrates. :)
