Philosophers Archytas February 04, 2004 Archytas (428 BC - 347 BC), was a Greek philosopher, mathematician, astronomer, statesman, strategist and commander-in-chief. Archytas was born in Tarentum, Magna Graecia (now Italy) and was the son of Mnesagoras or Histiaeus. He was taught for a while by Philolaus and he was a teacher of mathematics to Eudoxus of Cnidus. He was scientist of the Pythagorean school, famous as the intimate of end of Plato. His and Eudoxus' student was Menaechmus. Sometimes he is believed to be the founder of mathematical mechanics. According to Eutocius Archytas solved the problem of duplicating the cube in his manner with a geometric construction. Hippocrates of Chios before reduced this problem to finding mean proportionals . Archytas' theory of proportions is treated in the book VIII. of Euclid's Elements. The Archytas curve, which he used in his solution of the doubling the cube problem, is named after him.

Search Inventors Screws and Screwsdrivers By Mary Bellis Early Screws The Pythagorean philosopher Archytas of Tarentum (5th century BC) is the alleged inventor of the screw. Screws cam into common use around the 1st century BC. These were the wooden screws that were used in wine presses, olive oil presses and for pressing clothes. Metal screws and nuts only appeared in the 15th century. Screwdriver The flat-bladed bit for the carpenter's brace (1744) was the precursor to the first simple screwdriver. The handled screwdriver was used by woodworker after 1800 and was lound in the inventories of tool kits from that date on. A machine to mass produce threaded metal screws for use in woodworking was patented in the United States in 1798 by David Wilkinson.

Plato and Platonism "Plato and Platonism: Bibliography" Britannica Online. http://www.eb.com:180/cgi-bin/g?DocF=macro/5005/10/28.html Plato and his thought LIFE Plato was born, the son of Ariston and Perictione, in Athens, or perhaps in Aegina, in about 428 BC, the year after the death of the great statesman Pericles. His family, on both sides, was among the most distinguished in Athens. Ariston is said to have claimed descent from the god Poseidon through Codrus, the last king of Athens; on the mother's side, the family was related to the early Greek lawmaker Solon. Nothing is known about Plato 's father's death. It is assumed that he died when Plato was a boy. Perictione apparently married as her second husband her uncle Pyrilampes, a prominent supporter of Pericles; and Plato was probably brought up chiefly in his house. Critias and Charmides, leaders among the extremists of the oligarchic terror of 404, were, respectively, cousin and brother of Perictione; both were friends of Socrates, and through them Plato must have known the philosopher from boyhood.

84. 3.2 Concept Of Place The oldest known theorising about place is the treatise of archytas ofTarentum, a Pythagorean thinker who lived in the Fourth Century BC. http://ethesis.helsinki.fi/julkaisut/mat/maant/pg/lipsanen/032.html

3.2 Concept of place The concept of 'place' as approached by a strictly scientific manner could be reduced to a mere spatial concept. It would thus mean 'a location in space'. This is for instance basically the meaning that Georg Henrik von Wright ( ) gives to it in his 'logic of place'. He investigates the differencies between modal concepts in temporal and spatial systems of formal logic, and founds his system of spatial logic on modal concepts of 'nearby', 'somewhere', and 'somewhere else' ( von Wright 1983 : 134). Ramon Jansana ( ) has developed von Wright's system later by adding to it the aspect of distance. Study of 'place' in logic resembles closely the use of 'place' in geographical studies where the geographical information system (GIS) is used. In Finnish, GIS is even translated as 'paikkatietojärjestelmä' meaning 'system of place data'! The logical aspects of place were examined already by the early Greek philosophers. In his essay about the 'Anaximander fragment'probably the oldest remaining piece of Western thinkingMartin Heidegger ( : 16) reminds us of the importance of examining early philosophical thinking. According to him, to translate an early fragment into another language one has to first translate oneself into what the fragment says (

His real name was Aristocles, but he was called Plato by his instructor in gymnastics because of his broad shoulders. Physically perfect, he had an artistic and dialectical temperament which remained with him through his whole life and made of him the philosopher-poet.

Last up date:1998/11/08 Kite-Flying Heritage in Nepal by Mr.Nirmal Man Tuladhar Seasonal Kite-flying Kite-flying in Nepal is seasonal and is associated with one of the biggest festivals, Dasain (Mohani in the Newari language of the Newars of the Kathmandu valley). Mohani is the Newari name for the local version of the widespread South Asian harvest festival dedicated to Goddess Durga, which in Nepal and generally elsewhere in South Asia is called Dasain. Devi is considered the Divine Mother Goddess who liberates the suffering people from the miseries of Evil. The longest, most auspicious and joyous time of year, Dasain is celebrated all over the country by all castes and creeds of both Buddhists and Hindus during the bright lunar fortnight ending on the day of the full moon in late September or early October. By this time the monsoon rains should have been over and the rice harvest been completed. The weather is pleasant - neither hot nor cold. The sky is clear and blue. The cool wind blows. This is the most favourable weather for flying kites. The kite-flying season lasts for a month. Tradition and Social Belief One tradition holds that kites were invented by Archytas of Tarentum, a Greek scientist in the 5th century BC, but they have been in use among Asian peoples from time immemorial.

It's 6:19. Do You Know Where You Are? The research notebook of a beleaguered hack. The Notebook July 06, 2002 Struik: A Concise History of Mathematics: Greece As the Mediterranean basin transitioned from the Bronze Age to the Iron Age there were enormous economic and political changes. Iron's introduction changed warfare but also cheapened production, causing a surplus, and allowing more people to be involved in public life. Additionally the introduction of coined money and the alphabet stimulated trade. Culture began to flourish, no longer exclusively the domain of the elite. Sea-raiders upset cultural, scientific, and mathematical progress as they destroyed Minoan civilization, and disrupted Egyptian and Babylonian development. The rise of the Greek city-state in 7th-6th centuries BCE allowed new freedoms to citizens. More leisure (begotten from slavery and wealth) stimulated the growth of rationalism, philosophy, and science. In contrast to oriental approaches, the Greeks did not just "how?" but sought to know "why?" Thales of Milete (who had traveled to Babylon and Egypt) is considered the father of Greek math. In seeking a rational scheme to the universe his tradition added an element of rationalism to mathematics. Only small fragments remain, but through careful analysis a consistent picture of Greek math emerges. The rise of Persia led to conflict and an eventual Greek victory, which expanded the power of Athens. Democratic ideals flourished from 450-400 BCE, paving the path for the Golden Age of Greece. Sophists had greater freedom to examine ideas more abstract than useful. The only complete fragment of this period is written by Hippocrates of Chios. The work shows perfected mathematical reasoning and deals with the impractical: the
