THE ACADEMY 1 History DINOSTRATUS THE SQUARING OF THE CIRCLE Dinostratus proved that the trisectrix of Hippias could be used to solve this problem after discovering that the side of the square is the mean proportional between the arc of the quarter circle AC and the segment DQ. There are various stages to the reductio ad absurdum proof which are illustrated in the following windows: Let the circle with centre D and radius DR intersect the trisectrix at S and the side of the square at T. Draw the perpendicular SU to side DC from point S. As the arcs are proportional to the radii then AC/AB=TR/DR (2) From (1) and (2) it must follow that TR=AB (3) S is the point on the trisectrix which satisfies TR/SR=AB/SU (4) From (3) and (4) it follows that SR=SU However, this is absurd as the perpendicular is the shortest distance between a point and a line. Therefore, DR cannot be longer than DQ. 2.- We repeat this way of reasoning with the hypothesis

PLATO: THE ACADEMY History 1. BACKGROUND TO THE PERIOD Aristotle and Plato in the centre of Raphael's painting "The School in Athens". The Vatican Museum. The Peloponnesian Wars took place in the IVth century B.C. Sparta fought against Athens and behind them other Greek towns followed them into warfare. Sparta called on Persia to help them keep control of the towns they had occupied. Athens and Thebes became allies and together managed to defeat Sparta. King Philip of Macedon took advantage of the situation and became ruler of Greece. His reign lasted from 360 B.C. to 336 B.C. when, upon his death, his son Alexander took the throne. Alexander the Great was responsible for the invasion of the Persian empire, which included Syria, Palestine, Egypt, Mesopotamia and Iran. This century began with the death of Socrates (399 B.C.) The two great philosophers Aristotle and Plato , one of Socrates students and admirers also belonged to this period along with Archytas. Aristotle was Alexander the Great's private tutor and instilled in him the superiority of the Hellenic culture and encouraged him to go East and extend his empire. Plato managed to bring the greatest thinkers of the time together at his Academy in Athens. His contributions to mathematics include his rigorous method of justifying solutions through logical reasoning, his

It is usually claimed that Dinostratus used the quadratrix, discovered by Hippias , to solve the problem of squaring the circle Pappus tells us (see for example [1] or [3]):- For the squaring of the circle there was used by Dinostratus, Nicomedes and certain other later persons a certain curve which took its name from this property, for it is called by them square-forming in other words the quadratrix It appears from this quote that Hippias discovered the curve but that it was Dinostratus who was the first to use it to find a square equal in area to a given circle. Proclus , who claims to be quoting from Eudemus , writes (see [1]):- Nicomedes trisected any rectilinear angle by means of the conchoidal curves, of which he had handed down the origin, order, and properties, being himself the discoverer of their special characteristic.

THE QUADRATRIX Trisecting an angle - Squaring the circle Introduction Three famous geometrical construction problems, originating from ancient Greek mathematics occupied many mathematicians until modern times. These problems are the duplication of the cube: construct (the edge of) a cube whose volume is double the volume of a given cube, angle trisection: construct an angle that equals one third of a given angle, the squaring of a circle: given (the radius of) a circle, construct (the side of) a square whose area equals the area of the circle. In the ancient Greek tradition the only tools that are available for these constructions are a ruler and a compass . During the 19th century the French mathematician Pierre Wantzel proved that under these circumstances the first two of those constructions are impossible and for the squaring of the circle it lasted until 1882 before a proof had been given by Ferdinand von Lindemann If we extend the range of tools the problems can be solved. New tools can be material tools (ex. a "marked ruler", that's a ruler with two marks on it, a "double ruler", that's a ruler with two parallel sides,...), or

BENEDICT M. ASHLEY, O.P.: THE ARTS OF LEARNING AND COMMUNICATION CHAPTER II The Science of Magnitudes THE BEGINNINGS THE GREEKS, SCIENTISTS AND ARTISTS In the last chapter we indicated that, while mathematical calculation was developed in a practical way by the people of Mesopotamia and Egypt, and carried still further by the Hindus and Chinese, it was the Greeks who made it a theoretical study. They transformed it into a true science, rigorously logical in structure, and a model for all other sciences. It was these same scientifically minded Greeks who first arrived at a perfect conception of the fine arts. The art of Mesopotamia was strong and grandiose, but without grace or subtlety. The art of Egypt was subtle and mysterious, but strangely static and without inner thought or feeling. Only in the art of Greece is there achieved a living balance of all the elements of beauty. Their art was classical (from Latin classicus ,meaning "first class"), and became a standard for all later art. Not, indeed, that art of later ages need confine itself to copying the style and subject-matter of Greek art, as some people have thought but that we can learn from Greek literature, sculpture, and architecture a true conception of the elements that go into a work of art and of the harmony with which they should be united. Today we are inclined to think of science and art as unrelated fields. The artist seems to be all imagination and emotion, living in a subjective world of free fancy. The scientist seems to be all facts and abstract theories, living in the objective world of experiment and measurement. Yet the Greeks excelled both in art and science. In order to learn something of this lesson from the Greeks in this chapter we are going to try to get clearer notions of two questions:

33. Archimedes (287 B.C. - 212 B.C.) dinostratus discovered the quadratrix resulting from the intersectionof a rotating line with another moving parallel to itself. http://www.usefultrivia.com/biographies/archimedes_001.html

ARCHIMEDES ARCHIMEDES was a native of Syracuse, one of the greatest cities of the West Grecian world. His letters to Dositheus of Alexandria show him to have been in constant communication with the students of geometry in that city. Plutarch, in his life of Marcellus, speaks of his intimate friendship with King Hiero of Syracuse, who induced him to apply his mechanical principles to the construction of military engines; though the time thus withdrawn from his theoretical researches was most unwillingly given. During the second Punic War Hiero had been in close alliance with Rome. But after his death, Hippocrates, an ambitious general, enlisted the city on the side of Carthage, and a Roman force, under the command of Marcellus, besieged it by sea and land. The fleet, equipped with the usual engines of war, especially the sambuca Cicero . It bore the image of a cylinder circumscribing a sphere, with a verse indicating, what Archimedes had held to be his greatest achievement, the measurement and mutual proportion of these two bodies. Dramatic, surely, was the contrast offered by the siege of Syracuse between the scientific intellect of Greece and the disciplined force of Rome; and not less remarkable is the admiration of the conqueror for the conquered, which, in a few generations, would weld the Greco-Roman world into one. Geometry, when Archimedes began his career, had made more progress than is shown by the thirteen books of Euclid's

34. Pappus (4th Century A.D.) There are special studies on various curves; as the spirals of Archimedes,the quadratix of dinostratus, and the conchoid of Nicomedes. http://www.usefultrivia.com/biographies/pappus_001.html

PAPPUS PAPPUS was a contemporary of Theon of Alexandria, and taught mathematics in that city during the reign of Theodosius I. He wrote a commentary on the Great Syntaxis Almagest ] of Ptolemy, which has not come down to us. He is known to us by the work entitled Synagoge or Assemblage ; a collection in eight books of mathematical papers having no very distinct connection, and consisting of commentaries on the geometrical work of the previous six centuries, enriched by very fruitful additions of his own. For the history of ancient mathematics this work, of which the last six books and part of the second have been preserved, is invaluable. Already in the third century B.C. the filiation of discovery, so evident in this science, had been traced by Eudemus, a pupil of Aristotle, parts of whose work have been preserved by Proclus. Pappus supplies many details of Apollonius and of later writers who would otherwise have been unknown to us. Special studies on isolated problems occupy the greater part of his attention. Various modes of inserting two mean geometrical proportionals are discussed; new methods of inscribing the five regular solids in a sphere are put forward, (book iii). There are special studies on various curves; as the spirals of Archimedes , the quadratix of Dinostratus, and the conchoid of Nicomedes. Much attention is given to the work of Zenodorus on isoperimetry; and new problems on this subject are solved (book v). In the 6th book the earlier astronomers are spoken of.

Hippias and his quadratrix Hippias of Elis (430 BC) was a sophist who invented the quadratrix curve to trisect an angle. The problem of trisecting a given angle was one of the problems that generated a lot of mathematics during this period, and several mathematicians devised methods for solving this problem. Like many other sophists, Hippias was an itinerant teacher who made his living wowing the locals with his knowledge. Apparently, he did alright, but didn't leave much of a legacy except for the quadratrix. Definition of the curve The curve can be described in a few sentences. Let ABCD denote a square. Over a unit time period, allow the top segment of the square to fall at a uniform speed to the bottom of the square. During the same time, allow the left side of the square to rotate clockwise at a uniform speed to the bottom of the square. At each time, the two segments will intersect in a point P. The totality of all these points P is defined as the quadratrix. Drawing the quadratrix One can imagine how Hippias might have sketched the quadratrix in the sand, but one can hardly image how he would have made an accurate sketch of it.

Assignment 19 Obvious is the most dangerous word in mathematics." (Eric Temple Bell ) PAPPUS (ca 300): An excellent mathematician who lived in Alexandria, Pappus attempted to rekindle interest in the mathematical works of the Greeks. This was not an easy task, since Christians had destroyed much of the ancient Greek documents, but Pappus managed to create his Mathematical Collection which cites or references over thirty different ancient mathematicians. Much of our knowledge of Greek mathematics has been derived from the works of Pappus. His work is often called the requiem of Greek mathematics.
