45. Who Was Euclid ?
Euclid s lived from 325 BCE to around 265 BCE. His contemporariesincluded Eretosthenese, eudemus of rhodes, Autolycus of Pitane.
http://www.surferz.net/~marina/euclid.html
Who Was Euclid ?
During Alexandria's heyday Eretosthenese had calculated the diameter of the earth to within 1% by measuring the difference in the angle of the noonday sun in distant cities. It would take centuries and the persecution of Galileo before west would again understand that the earth was spherical. All in all Alexandria was a shining light of learning for almost 700 years. It was this city that Euclid called "home". Euclid's lived from 325 BCE to around 265 BCE. His contemporaries included Eretosthenese, Eudemus of Rhodes, Autolycus of Pitane. He was too young to have studied with Plato, but many of Plato's students lived at the same time as Euclid. For the most part Euclid's though is Platonic. For a Platonist the reality we see around us is merely a shadow of the real truth which lies in the realm of pure thought. The Mac history archives at the School of Mathematics and statistics says this about Euclid: "In his aim he was a Platonist, being in sympathy with this philosophy, whence he made the end of the whole "Elements" the construction of the so-called Platonic figures. " (1) http://www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Euclid.html To the same ends Euclid and Plato were very close to being Pythagoreans. Pythagoras is known for his teaching the equation a^2+b^2=c^2 a and b being the legs of a right angle triangle c being the hypotenuse. This equation has applications in all sorts of physical phenomenon. Einstein's famous E=MC^2 equation can be derived from a^2+b^2=c^2.(8) Pythagoras is less well known for his belief that mathematics is the basis of reality.

Angels and Monotheism
The word "angel" is the Greek "angelos" meaning a messenger—someone who brings messages from God. The Hebrew is "malak." The Greeks had Iris, in Homer, who brought messages from Olympus to humanity. The Greeks also had Hermes or Mercury who also was a messenger, the Herald of God. Do Christians accept these as angels? And they had their own name for the lesser spirits that acted as messengers for the gods—daimones. Despite this morass of contradictions, Christians will claim to be monotheistic and still believe in angels. The angels they believe in appear to men at God's behest wearing a pair of large feathered wings on their shoulders and flowing robes. What is so odd about heaven that angels need wings? Or do they only attach their wings to fly down to earth? If God can make men walk on water why should angels need wings? Why do they

http://www.math.sfu.ca/histmath/Europe/Euclid300BC/INDEX.HTML
His Works and His Influences
Euclid , author of the most important textbook of all time, and arguably the most influential geometry text to date, the Elements (which has existed in more editions than any other work than the Bible ), flourished around 300 B.C.E. in Alexandria. Invited to open the mathematical school at the Museum and Library at Alexandria, Euclid accepted and compiled several works, some of which are still in circulation today, some of which have long vanished. Many people before Euclid were essential in his collaboration of works and ideas to create the Elements To tell the story of Euclid is in some ways to tell a story of Greek math, thus our exploration begins with Thales of Miletus (624 - 547 B.C.E.), who is the first mathematician mentioned in Eudemus of Rhodes' formal history, written around 320 B.C.E. Pythagoras (572 - 497 B.C.E.), famed for the theorem named after him, of which is probably the most interesting of all ancient mathematicians. His group of disciples, known as the Pythagoreans, believed all is number; number is the substance of all things. Hippocrates of Chios (c. 5th century B.C.E.) was one of the greatest geometers of antquity. He is credited with writing a text which is arguably contained in most of Book I of the

Mathematician Report Index Below is a list of mathematicians. You may choose from this list or report on a mathematician not listed here. In either case, you must discuss with me the mathematician you have chosen prior to starting your report. No two students may write a report on the same mathematician. I would advise you to go to the library before choosing your topic as there might not be much information on the mathematician you have chosen. Also, you should determine the topic early in the term so that you can "lock-in" your report topic!! The report must include: 1. The name of the mathematician. 2. The years the mathematician was alive. 3. A biography. 4. The mathematician's major contribution(s) to mathematics and an explanation of the importance. 5. A historical perspective during the time the mathematician was alive.
Some suggestions on the historical perspective might be:
(a) Any wars etc.
(b) Scientific breakthroughs of the time
(c) Major discoveries of the time
(d) How did this mathematician change history etc.

BOOK I.
INTRODUCTION.
I. SOME say that the study of philosophy originated with the barbarians. In that among the Persians there existed the Magi, and among the Babylonians or Assyrians the Chaldaei, among the Indians the Gymnosophistae, and among the Celts and Gauls men who were called Druids and Semnothei, as Aristotle relates in his book on Magic, and Sotion in the twenty-third book of his Succession of Philosophers. Besides those men there were the Phoenician Ochus, the Thracian Zamolxis, and the Libyan Atlas. For the Egyptians say that Vulcan was the son of Nilus , and that he was the author of philosophy, in which those who were especially eminent were called his priests and prophets. II. From his age to that of Alexander, king of the Macedonians, were forty-eight thousand eight hundred and sixty-three years, and during this time there were three hundred and seventy-three eclipses of the sun, and eight hundred and thirty-two eclipses of the moon. Again, from the time of the Magi, the first of whom was Zoroaster the Persian, to that of the fall of Troy, Hermodorus the Platonic philosopher, in his treatise on Mathematics, calculates that fifteen thousand years elapsed. But Xanthus the Lydian says that the passage of the Hellespont by Xerxes took place six thousand years after the time of Zoroaster, and that after him there was a regular succession of Magi under the names of Ostanes and Astrampsychos and Gobryas and Pazatas, until the destruction of the Persian empire by Alexander.

Hellinistic/Alexandrian period (4th century B.C. - 5th century A.D.)
This period marking advances in astronomy, mathematics and medicine. Hellinistic refers to the Greeks and others who lived after Alexander the Great's conquests, during which there existed a mixture of civilizations. Important schools of this period include Epicurianism, Stoiciscm , and Skeptisicm
Philosophers-Scientists
  • Epicurus of Samos (341-270 B.C.). Founder of the philosophical school of Epicurianism which, similar to the Atomists, believed that atoms are fundamental parts of the real world. Believed that fate was governed by laws of nature and not some mysterious gods.
  • Straton (Lambsacus, 340-290 B.C.). Greek physicist. Conducted experiments leading him to discover that bodies accelerate when they fall. However, erroneously, he also believes that heavier bodies fall faster. Also studied the lever, but does not find it's law. His work emphasizes the use of experimentation for scientific research. Lived in Alexandria, then moved to Athens to head the Aristitle's Lyceum after Theophrastos.
  • Zenon of Citius (4th century B.C.).

  • Agatharchos. Greek mathematician. Discovered the laws of perspectives.
  • Anaxagoras of Clazomenae (480-430 B.C.). Greek philosopher. Believed that a large number of seeds make up the properties of materials, that heavenly bodies are made up of the same materials as Earth and that the sun is a large, hot, glowing rock. Discovered that the moon reflected light and formulated the correct theory for the eclipses. Erroneously believed that the Earth was flat.
    Links: Anaxagoras of Clazomenae, MIT
  • Anaximander (610-545 B.C.). Greek astronomer and philosopher, pupil of Thales. Introduced the apeiron (infinity). Formulated a theory of origin and evolution of life, according to which life originated in the sea from the moist element which evaporated from the sun ( On Nature ). Was the first to model the Earth according to scientific principles. According to him, the Earth was a cylinder with a north-south curvature, suspended freely in space, and the stars where attached to a sphere that rotated around Earth.
