In particular, on page 37, it states that in the last part of the first millennium and the first part of the second, "Islam produced the world's leading scientists, mathematicians, architects, and artists." It may be considered only a minor discrepancy, but this implies that all the leading scientists, etc., were produced by Islam. The words "many of" should be inserted between "produced" and "the" to make the statement true. Another statement is completely inaccurate. Muslims did not

He thought that these challenges would give others a greater appreciation of the hidden depths surrounding his problems about numbers and lure them into doing active research on the topic, but sometimes the tactic back red on him. For instance, in one of his letters he challenged the English mathematician John Wallis to solve two problems: 1. given a cube,to write that cube as a sum of two cubes; and 2. given a sum of two cubes, to write that number as a sum of two cubes in a dierent way. page 2 page 3 page 4 For pages 5 - 14, please open pdf file.

HISTORICAL SOURCES FOR TEACHING MATHEMATICS Edited by Reinhard Laubenbacher and David Pengelley Mathematical Sciences, New Mexico State University May, 1995 (Revised May, 2000) USING HISTORICAL SOURCES IN TEACHING MATHEMATICS This portfolio contains the papers produced by school teachers and graduate students during a one semester workshop at New Mexico State University during the Spring of 1995, and a resulting graduate course in subsequent years. The workshop occurred in the form of the course MATH 495/501, Workshop for Teachers: Using Historical Sources in Teaching Mathematics , and evolved into the regular graduate course MATH 561, The Role of History in Teaching Mathematics The papers in this volume have been prepared as teaching resources, mostly built around original historical source material in mathematics. Each is a self-contained supplement ready for use with students, most comprising an original source, mathematical and historical annotation for teacher and students, a discussion of the context of the mathematics, guidance for the teacher on how and where to use the supplement, exercises, and suggestions for further reading. The papers are intended for all levels ranging from middle school to graduate-level mathematics. Also included in the portfolio is a set of assessment guidelines prepared by the participants and ourselves, with guidance from Bonnie Votaw, for assessing the effectiveness of these teaching materials with students. Our desire to work with present and future teachers grew out of our use of original historical sources in the undergraduate curriculum. We have found that exposing students directly to historical sources in mathematics contributes greatly to motivation and understanding, and brings mathematics alive as an ongoing process of discovery. Our philosophy and experiences are expressed in the article ``Recovering Motivation in Mathematics: Teaching with Original Sources'', included in this portfolio.

Relics from the Dawn of Time by John Burns I think that the most exciting day of my professional careerexcept, of course, receiving my degrees and employmentwas Monday, August 2, 1999, at Brown University where I was attending the Annual Mathematical Association of America Mathfest I have always been intrigued by the history of the development of science and mathematics in general. However, two of my chief interests were the history of the Calculus before Newton and Leibwitz, and the history of the development of our understanding of the solar system. Each of these interests was partially satisfied, but also stimulated during the many times at California State University, Los Angeles that I taught the "History of Mathematics" course, which naturally contained Astronomy and Physics as well. As Einstein said, "The more that the circle of knowledge increases, the more does the circle of darkness around its edge." Both of these circles expanded greatly for me in the six weeks that I spent in Washington D. C. at the "Institute for the Study of Mathematics and its Use in Teaching" in the summers of 1995 and 1996. It was a wonderful experience, and I loved every minute of it. I also saw the works of the five giants that formed the basis of modern (heliocentric) Astronomy, Copernicus, Ticho Brahe, Kepler, Galileo, and Newton, as well as those who developed the mathmatical foundation of our understanding of the solar system, Clairaut, Euler, d'Alembert, Lagrange, Gauss, Laplace, Hill, Poincaré, and Einstein.

Back to Table of Contents Biographies of Mathematicians - Diophantus Diophantus's Life Born: about 200 A.D. in Alexandria , Egypt Died: about 284 A.D. in Alexandria , Egypt Diophantus worked during the middle of the third century and is best known for his Arithmetica , a work on the theory of numbers. Little is known of Diophantus's life. The most details we have (and these may not be accurate) say that he married at the age of 33 and had a son who died at the age of 42, four years before Diophantus himself died at approximately 84. Diophantus's epitaph The most details we have found of Diophantus's life have come from Greek Anthology epigrams. Which is a collection of number games and strategy puzzles. Because of the speculation of his age the only significant evidence of his lifespan is through his collection of puzzles. "This tomb hold Diophantus. Ah, what a marvel! And the tomb tells scientifically the measure of his life. God vouchsafed that he should be a boy for the sixth part of his life; when a twelfth was added, his cheeks acquired a beard; He kindled for him the light of marriage after a seventh, and in the fifth year after his marriage He granted him a son. Alas! late-begotten and miserable child, when he had reached the measure of half his father's life, the chill grave took him. After consoling his grief by this science of numbers for four years, he reached the end of his life." J R Newman (ed.) The World of Mathematics (New York 1956).

79. Diophantus Did you solve the puzzle? The answer is 84 years old. diophantus studiedat the University of alexandria in Egypt. His major contribution http://www.math.wichita.edu/history/men/diophantus.html

Diophantus "Father of algebra" c. 250 C.E. The "Silver Age" of Alexandria, also known as the Later Alexandrian Age, was about 250 - 350 C.E. Diophantus, a Greek algebraist of this era, was thought to belong to this time period, but there is some uncertainty to the exact time frame of his life. Little is known of his personal life except for an algebraic puzzle rhyme determining his age from Anthologia Palatina which is a collection of problems dating from the 5th and 6th centuries. "Here lies Diophantus." The wonder behold- Through art algebraic, the stone tells how old: "God gave him his boyhood one-sixth of his life, One-twelfth more as youth while whiskers grew rife; And then yet one-seventh eve marriage begun; In five years there came a bouncing new son. Alas, the dear child of master and sage Met fate at just half his dad's final age. Four years yet his studies gave solace from grief; Then leaving scenes earthly he, too found relief." Did you solve the puzzle? The answer is 84 years old. Diophantus studied at the University of Alexandria in Egypt. His major contribution to mathematics is a collection of 13 books called Arithmetica, in which only 6 survived through the centuries, and exhibit a high degree of math skills and ingenuity. His series of books, a collection of approximately 150 problems, was devoted to the exact solution of equations, but lacked finding a method of determining general solutions. His books are thought to be a problem collection in the application of algebra and not an algebra textbook.
