Hypatia by Professor Edith Prentice Mendez from Sonoma State University Hypatia of Alexandria (in Egypt) was the leading mathematician and philosopher in the western world at the time she was murdered by a mob in 415 AD. Her position as a woman scholar was unprecedented, although of course Alexandria had seen other powerful women, such as Cleopatra. Many stories have been told about Hypatia, in celebration of her life and in explaining her death. This biography relies on ancient documents to try to trace Hypatia's life and work. In Hypatia's time, Alexandria was the leading center of learning in the Greek tradition. Alexandria had been founded by Alexander the Great, who died in 323 B.C. Alexander had conquered Egypt, and the kings who followed him there established the greatest learning center of ancient times: the Museum and Library of Alexandria. These formed a university or institute for advanced study - "museum" meant dedicated to the muses, the female guiding spirits of arts and sciences. The first known mathematician at the Museum was Euclid, who lived about 300 B.C. and compiled the "Elements" of geometry and number theory that are still the basis of much of our school geometry today, 2300 years later! Hypatia's father, Theon, was the last known member of the Museum faculty in the late 4th century AD. We do not know whether Hypatia taught at the Museum or on her own. The collections of the Library had been partially destroyed several times, most recently in 391 AD when the emperor had ordered the adjacent pagan temple destroyed, and the Museum may have been dismantled at that time.

83. Diophantus II a margin of error?) We also know that he lived in alexandria which was the centreof ancient Greek civilization from 350 BC to 640 AD. diophantus’ main claim http://www.nzmaths.co.nz/PS/L6/Algebra/DiophantusII.htm

Diophantus II Algebra Level 6 Problem Mathematical curiosities and puzzles have fascinated people throughout the ages. These were often expressed in verse or as riddles. This one is supposed to have come from the tomb of an ancient Greek mathematician who lived in Alexandria. God granted him to be a boy for the sixth part of his life, and adding a twelfth part to this, He clothed his cheeks with down; He lit him the light of wedlock after a seventh part, and five years after his marriage he granted him a son. Alas! Late-born wretched child; after attaining the measure of half of his father’s full life, chill Fate took him. After consoling his grief by this science of numbers for four years he ended his life. How long did Diophantus live? [Reported to have been inscribed on the tomb of Diophantus (100BC approx)] What is this problem is about? We’re not actually sure how old this problem is. But it is sure that it is older than the one from a Lady’s Diary (See Algebra, Level 5, A Lady’s Age .) Now that may appear old to you but similar problems can be found in Indian writings. In one book, Lilivati , which was written around 1150 AD, the author, Bhaskara writes problems for his daughter to solve. There is rather an elegant question there about a peacock and a snake that involves Pythagoras’ Theorem.

Standard notations were developed: symbols for operations, the equal sign, using letters of the alphabet to represent unknowns, and the use of exponents and coefficients. Descartes and Fermat applied algebra to geometry, bringing the full power of the former to bear on the latter. This became known as analytic geometry, the precursor of calculus.

FAQ Essays Links document.write("Contact Us"); document.write(""); Donate Essays History of Algebra Algebra is defined by Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary as a generalization of arithmetic in which letters representing numbers are combined according to the rules of arithmetic. This is not a good definition of algebra. It would take a thick book to really explain it. In fact, to this day it is still being added to. There are always new things to be discovered about it. It has been added to by many different people over the centuries. Algebra has a long interesting history. The first work describing algebra was called Arithmetica, a treatise by Diophantus of Alexandria. It was a collection of 130 problem and numerical solutions. Only 6 of the 13 books have been found, the others were believed to have been destroyed soon after their creation. Diophantus was known as the father of algebra. The way he solved problems algebraically was know as Diophantine analysis. He lived from about 200 AD to about 284 AD He

T H E S CIENCES B EYOND THE L AST T HEOREM In May of last year two mathematicians published a proof of Fermat's conjecture, the most famous mathematical brainteaster of all time. So what comes next? BY DORIAN GOLDFELD O n August 8, 1900, at the International Congress of Mathematics in Paris, the German mathematician David Hilbert stood before his peers and posed twenty-three difficult, unsolved problems that he believed should guide the future of mathematics. Grundlagen der Geometrie Diophantine equations take their name from the Greek mathematician Diophantus of Alexandria, who probably lived in the third century of our era and who discussed such problems at length in his treatise Arithmetica. Typical among them is a problem that fascinated the Greeks, namely, finding right triangles the lengths of whose sides are in whole-number ratios to one another. To state the matter in the form of an equation, the right-triangle problem is to find whole numbers x, y and z that satisfy the Pythagorean relation x y z Hilbert's tenth problem posed a challenge of breathtaking generality: Given a Diophantine equation with any number of unknown quantities and with rational integral numerical coefficients: To devise a process according to which it can be determined by a finite number of operations whether the equation is solvable in rational integers.

90. Islam's Golden Age As you may know, the earliest known treatise on Algebra is credited to Diophantusof alexandria in 3rd century AD However, it was a Muslim named Kharazmi from http://www.mwillett.org/atheism/islamicgoldenage.htm

Islam and its Golden Age? By Farzad Roohi Why is it that most people believe that Islam had a great Golden Age while Europe was burning dreadfully in its Dark Age? This is a historical misconception which needs to be addressed. Allow me to give you an analogy before I make my point. Atheism Politics Memes Mind ... Islam and Women Now, take the above analogy and apply it to the so-called Golden Age Islamic civilization compared to the Dark Age Europe. Obviously, the Islamic civilization looks very pleasing when you compare it to the European Dark Ages. This does not necessarily mean that the Islamic civilization was a great civilization. This simply means that the Islamic civilization was not as rotten as its European Dark Age counterpart. Allow me to present a few true examples to illustrate my point regarding how Muslims of that era did so little to improve human life, even though, they controlled a large portion of the global power and wealth for almost a millennium. As you may know, the earliest known treatise on Algebra is credited to Diophantus of Alexandria in 3rd century A.D. However, it was a Muslim named Kharazmi from Persia, who for the first time used the Arabic language (the official language of the time) to write a book called Algebra. What did Muslims do with Algebra, anyway? The answer is that they just introduced the writing down of calculations in place of using the abacus. Surprised perhaps? Despite having the knowledge of Algebra for centuries and they did not achieve any significant accomplishments towards improving quality of life.

91. UNH College Of Engineering And Physical Sciences Focus Faculty Everything wasn t as neat as it looks. In 240 AD, along came diophantus ofAlexandria, who published 13 volumes on arithmetic geometry, Pfau s field. http://www.ceps.unh.edu/focus/articles/faculty.html

Matthias Pfau James Leitzel (See story below) TWO NEW CEPS FACULTY MEMBERS The Poetry of the Mind Matthias Pfau, assistant professor of mathematics Matthias Pfau isn't what you'd call a born mathematician. He didn't even like math much as a student. "In school, you don't learn about what mathematics is," he says. "Real math is about ideas and proof, rather than simply about calculating." Pfau's passion for the pure math he now studies began in the hospital. Bedridden for several weeks during high school with a broken jaw, Pfau began reading an old four-volume set of math textbooks he'd picked up at a secondhand bookstore. Suddenly he was hooked. The dusky green volumes that inspired him still sit on his crowded bookshelves in his UNH office. Pfau, who recently joined the faculty as an assistant professor of mathematics, grew up in Germany and received his B.S. from the Rheinische Universitaet Bonn. After receiving his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in 1993, he held a series of visiting scholar positions at prestigious institutes, globetrotting from Germany to Princeton, New Jersey, to Taiwan, to France. Today he and his wife Wafa Wei, also a mathematician, and their young son Jacob are settled in New Hampshire. Pfau traces his mathematical ancestry back through the centuries the way some people trace their family trees. He sets the scene with the Pythagoreans, who translated all proportions in nature into geometric forms. The Pythagorean world was a beautifully balanced realm of geometric relationships, from the orbit of the spheres to the proportions of the human body. "Then the bad news broke," says Pfau. "Everything wasn't as neat as it looks."
