Stefano Cavagnetto, head of the School Business and Computing at Prague College, held a lecture at The Institute of Mathematics of the Academy of Sciences of Czech Republic.

His lecture, titled "Euclid’s Elements" was part of the Logic Seminar of the Institute.

The logic seminar is intended for people doing research in mathematical logic, including doctoral students.Talks are given by regular participants and guests on their own work.

During the talk Stefano gave a quick overview of Greek Mathematics in the Hellenistic period and the contents of the Elements in the order they appear in the thirteen books. He focused in some detail on the first two books and on their logical structure with the aim of giving a good grasp of Euclid's modernity.
