Ancient Coins Are What I Collect by Michael E. Marotta , 4 Jun 1994 Like most libertarians, I have always held on to some silver and gold in preference to other forms of saving. After a while, one Kennedy half looks pretty much like the next. Just two years ago, my daughter worked as a page at a state coin show. Dropping her off and picking her up, I walked around the bourse room. It was all very nice and all, with American 19th Century Liberties being far lovelier than most others . . . until I sat down to a tray of ancients. Today, I have a Whitman for Mercuries that lacks only the 1916-D to be complete. Many of the entries have been upgraded to Fine and above. I have some Hard Times Tokens, 19th century world bronzes featuring Liberty, political silver bars, phone cards, Barber Dimes, and a lot more of this and that. However, my formal answer to what I collect is: Ancients. Greeks. Archaic to Hellenistic, from 650 to 38 BC: From the rise of Croesus to the fall of Cleopatra. Here is what I have and why: Miletus; 1/12 stater; 6thC; SGCV 3532(var); SNG vonA 2080

Math Words, pg 5 Back to Math Words Alphabetical Index Barycenter The word barycenter is another term for the center of gravity or centroid. The Greek root is barus which generally refers to weighty or heavy. The more ancient Indo-European root seems to have come from a word like "gwerus" and has relatives in our words for gravity and grave. Another word derived from the same root is baryon , the name for a family of particles that are heavier (more massive) than mesons. The word barometer also comes from the same root and is so named because, in a sense, it measures how heavy the air is. Another related word still in current use is baritone, which literally means heavy voiced. The science names for the chemical barium and the ore from which we obtain it, barite, also called "heavy spar", are both from the same root. The History of Math web site at St. Andrews University in Scotland credits the creation of barycenters to August Möbius (1790-1868): In 1827 Möbius published Der barycentrische Calcul, a geometrical book which studies transformations of lines and conics. The novel feature of this work is the introduction of barycentric coordinates. Given any triangle ABC then if weights a, b and c are placed at A, B and C respectively then a point P, the center of gravity, is determined. Möbius showed that every point P in the plane is determined by the homogeneous coordinates [a,b,c], the weights required to be placed at A, B and C to give the center of gravity at P. The importance here is that Möbius was considering directed quantities, an early appearance of vectors.

A Short Account of Euclid’s Elements , VI.13 Home Online Articles Links ... Recommend a Friend Euclid’s Elements (c. 300 bc) is probably the most influential mathematical treatise of all time. The Elements comprises thirteen books, establishing no fewer than 467 propositions. Euclid’s system is axiomatic. The work opens with a statement of postulates and common notions, and every book within it begins with a statement of definitions relevant in that book. Each proposition is established by strict deductive reasoning from these axioms and from other previously established propositions. illustrates these and other general features of the Elements. In T.L. Heath’s 1925 translation, on which this discussion is based, VI.13 begins with a statement of the proposition: “To two given straight lines, to find a mean proportional”. Since Book VI of the Elements “looks at the application of the results of book five,” which itself “expounds the Eudoxan theory of proportion,” VI.13, on constructing a mean proportional, fits neatly into this general scheme.

previous up next Chapter 6 Anaxagoras and Democritus declare that comets are a conjunction of the planets approaching one another and so appearing to touch one another. Some of the Italians called Pythagoreans say that the comet is one of the planets, but that it appears at great intervals of time and only rises a little above the horizon. This is the case with Mercury too; because it only rises a little above the horizon it often fails to be seen and consequently appears at great intervals of time. These views involve impossibilities, some of which are common to all of them, while others are peculiar to some only. Enough has been said, without further argument, to show that the causes brought forward to explain comets are false. previous up next

69. Euclid And The Elements Euclid s axiomatic approach to geometry is what caused it to eclipse other Elements written before it (such as that of hippocrates of chios). http://www2.sunysuffolk.edu/wrightj/MA28/Euclid/Essay.htm

Euclid and the Elements Very little is known about the life of Euclid. He taught and wrote at the Museum and Library of Alexandria (Greece) around 300 BCE. The government established the Museum as a place where scholars would meet and discuss ideas. The fellows received a stipend and were exempt from taxation. An anecdote about Euclid is that when Ptolemy requested a short cut to geometric knowledge, Euclid replied that there "is no royal road to geometry." Another story is that when a student asked what practical use studying geometry could be, Euclid ordered a slave to give the man a penny, since "he must make gain from what he learns." Euclid wrote at least ten books on subjects ranging from mathematics to optics. His Elements was a textbook that was a compilation of mathematical knowledge of the time. The thirteen books included sections on geometry, number theory, and solid geometry. No original copy of the Elements exists. Over the centuries, errors entered manuscripts, as well as addition and "clarifications." Modern editions are based on a revision by the Greek commentator Theon (approx. 400 AD). The first complete Latin (the international language of science) appeared in the eighth century. The first printed English translation appeared in 1482 (Campanus). The first complete English translated was the Billingsley translation (1571). The importance of the Elements lies not only in the mathematical content, but in the structure and organization of the book. Euclid's axiomatic approach to geometry is what caused it to eclipse other "Elements" written before it (such as that of Hippocrates of Chios). Euclid starts with basic ideas and builds systematically on them. "To the modern reader, the work is incredibly dull. There are no examples, there is no motivation, there are no witty remarks, there is no calculation. There are simply definitions, axioms and proofs."

73. Conic Sections In Ancient Greece A breakthrough of a kind occurred when hippocrates of chios reduced the problem tothe equivalent problem of two mean proportionals , though this formulation http://www.math.rutgers.edu/~cherlin/History/Papers1999/schmarge.html

Conic Sections in Ancient Greece Ken Schmarge History of Mathematics Term Paper, Spring 1999 Introduction The knowledge of conic sections can be traced back to Ancient Greece. Menaechmus is credited with the discovery of conic sections around the years 360-350 B.C.; it is reported that he used them in his two solutions to the problem of "doubling the cube". Following the work of Menaechmus, these curves were investigated by Aristaeus and of Euclid. The next major contribution to the growth of conic section theory was made by the great Archimedes. Though he obtained many theorems concerning the conics, it does not appear that he published any work devoted solely to them. Apollonius, on the other hand, is known as the "Great Geometer" on the basis of his text Conic Sections , an eight-"book" (or in modern terms, "chapter") series on the subject. The first four books have come down to us in the original Ancient Greek, but books V-VII are known only from an Arabic translation, while the eighth book has been lost entirely. In the years following Apollonius the Greek geometric tradition started to decline, though there were developments in astronomy, trigonometry, and algebra (Eves, 1990, p. 182). Pappus, who lived about 300 A.D., furthered the study of conic sections somewhat in minor ways. After Pappus, however, conic sections were nearly forgotten for 12 centuries. It was not until the sixteenth century, in part as a consequence of the invention of printing and the resulting dissemination of Apollonius' work, that any significant progress in the theory or applications of conic sections occurred; but when it did occur, in the work of Kepler, it was as part of one of the major advances in the history of science.

Duplication of the Cube : Darrell Mattingly, Cateryn Kiernan The ancient Greeks originated numerous mathematical questions, most of which they learned to solve using simple mathematical tools, such as the straight edge and the collapsable compass. Three of these problems persist today, challenging students in contemporary classrooms. This triology of problems, the trisection of a given angle, the squaring of a circle, and the duplication of the cube, have since been proved impossible using exclusively the straight edge and the compass. In the quest to solve these problems using those specific tools, however, mathematicians developed numerous alternate solutions using other mathematical tools. The last problem of the trilogy is the focus of this discussion, and it challenged mathematicians for centuries, due to the restriction of using only the aforementioned tools. Origin of the Problem Proof that NO Platoic Solution Exists for the "Delian" Problem After centuries of mathematicians had worked on this problem, a proof developed that it could not be done using exclusively the straight edge and compass. This proof is based on theorems about the powers of degrees of subfields generated by the x and y coordinates of the side of the cube to be duplicated. Although the desired point can be approximated, it cannot in fact be found based on these theorems.

Flavin’s Corner The Woman Who Wondered Prof. Dr. Hertha von Dechend (1915-2001) passed recently. A well respected scholar and professor emeritus at the IGN or Institute for the History of Science, at the J. W. Goethe University of Frankfurt), she’s most often associated with her co-authorship with Giorgio de Santillana of Hamlet’s Mill: An essay on myth and the frame of time (Boston: Gambit, Inc., 1969). Of course she accomplished much more, still the association is a grand one! Hamlet’s Mill continues to spark debate, inspire radical syncreticism, and is appreciated for its multi-disciplinary sincerity (or, at least, an attempt) by nearly everyone. Frau Von Dechend wondered about wonderful things. Surely, the heavens are dimmer. She studied under the great explorer and cultural diffusionist, Leo Frobinius , at the University of Frankfurt, where she remained throughout her career, except in the ‘60s when she lectured at the Massachusetts Institute for Technology. Although she majored in archaeology and ethnology, Von Dechend concentrated most of her efforts in the study and teaching of the history of science. Some of her critics have alleged the significant influence of Frobinius in an attempt to somehow diminish her bold accomplishments, but such minor attacks are usually regarded as petty attempts at character assassination and dismissed. That Frobinius possessed a natural curiosity, believed in the sharing of tradition and technology by ancient people, and dared to put his ideas into writing is nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, Frobinius is still cited in a number of different areas of

Mathematics From an encyclopaedia essay by J. Lennart Berggren, Hyperlinked by Dr. Matrix Mathematics , the study of relationships among quantities, magnitudes, and properties and of logical operations by which unknown quantities, magnitudes, and properties may be deduced. In the past, mathematics was regarded as the science of quantity, whether of magnitudes, as in geometry , or of numbers, as in arithmetic , or of the generalization of these two fields, as in algebra . Toward the middle of the 19th century, however, mathematics came to be regarded increasingly as the science of relations, or as the science that draws necessary conclusions. This latter view encompasses mathematical or symbolic logic, the science of using symbols to provide an exact theory of logical deduction and inference based on definitions, axioms, postulates, and rules for combining and transforming primitive elements into more complex relations and theorems. This brief survey of the history of mathematics traces the evolution of mathematical ideas and concepts, beginning in prehistory. Indeed, mathematics is nearly as old as humanity itself; evidence of a sense of geometry and interest in geometric pattern has been found in the designs of prehistoric pottery and textiles and in cave paintings. Primitive counting systems were almost certainly based on using the fingers of one or both hands, as evidenced by the predominance of the numbers 5 and 10 as the bases for most number systems today. Ancient Mathematics The earliest records of advanced, organized mathematics date back to the ancient
