Apollonius of Perga From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Apollonius of Perga (c. 262 BC - c. 190 BC ) was a Greek geometer, noted for his writings on conic sections . It was Apollonius who gave the ellipse , the parabola , and the hyperbola the names by which we know them. The hypotheses of eccentric orbits, or equivalently, deferent and epicycles , to explain the apparent motion of the planets and the varying speed of the Moon, are also attributed to him. edit See also Descartes' theorem Views Article Discussion Edit History Personal tools Log in Navigation Main Page Community portal Current events Recent changes ...

Apollonius of Perga Apollonius was born about 262 BC in Perga. He died about 190 BC in Alexandria, Egypt. Apollonius was known as the great geometer. Although little is known about Apollonius; he was said to have a son. His son was also named Apollonius. Apollonius made may contributions to math. His set of books, Conics, introduced us to terms we use in math to day. Apollonius had a huge influence on math and geometry. When Apollonius was young he went to Alexandria, Egypt. In Alexandria he studied under the followers of Euclid. Apollonius later taught in Alexandria. Apollonius visited a university in Pergamum. When he was in Pergamum he met Eudemus of Pergamum and Attalus; who many think may be king Attalus I of Pergamum. Conics gave very little references to Apollonius’s life. By reading this book we have learned that Apollonius introduced geometer Philonides to Eudemus while in Ephesus. His son, Apollonius, took the second edition of Conics from Alexandria to Eudemus in Pergamum. We also know that Apollonius’s book was written in 8 books. The first 4 survived in Greek writing. The first 7 of the 8 books survived in Arabic writing. In Apollonius’s books he explains the curves formed when a plane intersects the surface of a cone. The first two books of Conics are the basics used in geometry.

Apollonius, of Perga (c. 245-c. 190 BC) Greek mathematician, called 'the Great Geometer'. In his work Conica/The Conics he showed that a plane intersecting a cone will generate an ellipse, a parabola, or a hyperbola, depending on the angle of intersection. In astronomy, he used a system of circles called epicycles and deferents to explain the motion of the planets; this system, as refined by Ptolemy , was used until the Renaissance. It is thought that Apollonius may have studied at the school established by Euclid at Alexandria, especially since much of his work was built on Euclidean foundations. Of his eight-volume treatise Conica, seven volumes are extant. The first four books consisted of an introduction and a statement of the state of mathematics provided by his predecessors. In the last four volumes Apollonius put forth his own important work on conic sections, the foundation of much of the geometry still used today in astronomy, ballistic science, and rocketry
