3. Greek Sources II How do we know about greek mathematicians? and How do we know aboutgreek mathematicians? . Before reading this second article http://www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/HistTopics/Greek_sources_2.html

How do we know about Greek mathematicians? Ancient Greek index History Topics Index There are two separate articles: How do we know about Greek mathematics? and "How do we know about Greek mathematicians?". Before reading this second article on how we can find out about the lives of the ancient Greek mathematicians, it will help if the reader first looks at the previous article on how the works of these mathematicians have reached us. Perhaps the most important fact about the lives of the mathematicians, if we are to have a proper appreciation of their work, is a knowledge of the period during which they lived. Some mathematicians added a date to their work and this has been preserved during the copying process described in the article How do we know about Greek mathematics? . Some are referred to by other authors and at least an approximate date can be given. Otherwise much more indirect evidence needs to be used. The following type of argument is typical of the type used. What works does the mathematician refer to? Clearly the mathematician must have lived after these works were written. What works refer to the mathematician? One has to be particularly careful about using data of this type since during the copying of the texts additional references may have been added which the original author could never have known about since they are from a later date. This method may leave a span of more than 200 years during which the mathematician may have lived. Particularly useful are cases where the mathematician made astronomical observations. Often these can be dated with great accuracy and, as we shall see in the example below, even having some mathematicians dates known accurately will help to date others.

Religion The Web Just H4K H4K Lesson Plans for Teachers Parents' Corner H4K Crafts and Projects Greek Mathematics Because the Greeks had only very clumsy ways of writing down numbers , they didn't like algebra. They found it very hard to write down equations or number problems. Instead, Greek mathematicians were more focused on geometry, and used geometric methods to solve problems that you might use algebra for. Greek mathematicians were also very interested in proving that certain mathematical ideas were true. So they spent a lot of time using geometry to prove that things were always true, even though people already knew that they were true most of the time anyway. The Greeks in general were very interested in rationality , in things making sense and hanging together. They wanted to tie up the loose ends. They liked music, because music followed strict rules to produce beauty. So did architecture , and so did mathematics.

Classical period (5th - 4th century B.C.) Within this period Athens flourishes under Pericles, the Parthenon is built on the Acropolis, the tragedies of Sophocles, Aeschylus and Euripides are created, the phisolophical schools of Socrates and Plato (known as Academy) are established, and the Lyceum of Athens is founded by Aristotle.

Greek Mathematicians Pythagoras (500 BC) He developed the first general proof of the Pythagorean theorem. The square of the longest side of the right triangle equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides. He discovered the existence of irrational numbers and created doctrines which inspired the systematic study of mathematics and the numeral aspects of musical harmony. Plato (428-348 BC) One of the world's greatest philosophers, he expanded Greek learning throughout the world in astronomy, mathematics, and metaphysics. He developed the Academy and taught philosophy and different levels of mathematics as well as theoretical astronomy. Euclid (300 BC) Euclid made great Advancements in Geometry. He developed the revolutionary progress in the analysis of two and three- dimensional space. He created the geometry that endures to this day known as Euclidean Geometry. Archimedes (287-212 BC) He determined the areas and volumes of numerous geometric figures and derived equations for them. Eratosthenes (275-194 BC) He pioneered mathematical geography. He caculated the circumference of the earth with astonishing accuracy for his time.

10.8. Euclid (330?-275? B.C.) IRA Euclid is one of the most influential and best read mathematician of all time. His prize work, Elements , was the textbook of elementary geometry and logic up to the early twentieth century. For his work in the field, he is known as the father of geometry and is considered one of the great Greek mathematicians. Very little is known about the life of Euclid. Both the dates and places of his birth and death are unknown. It is believed that he was educated at Plato's academy in Athens and stayed there until he was invited by Ptolemy I to teach at his newly founded university in Alexandria. There, Euclid founded the school of mathematics and remained there for the rest of his life. As a teacher, he was probably one of the mentors to Archimedes Personally, all accounts of Euclid describe him as a kind, fair, patient man who quickly helped and praised the works of others. However, this did not stop him from engaging in sarcasm. One story relates that one of his students complained that he had no use for any of the mathematics he was learning. Euclid quickly called to his slave to give the boy a coin because "he must make gain out of what he learns." Another story relates that Ptolemy asked the mathematician if there was some easier way to learn geometry than by learning all the theorems. Euclid replied, "There is no royal road to geometry" and sent the king to study. Euclid's fame comes from his writings, especially his masterpiece

Next: References Mathematical Masterpieces: Teaching with Original Sources Mathematics, New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, NM 88003 Vita Mathematica: Historical Research and Integration with Teaching R. Calinger (ed.), MAA, Washington, 1996, pp. 257260] Our upper-level university honors course, entitled Great Theorems: The Art of Mathematics To achieve our aims we have selected mathematical masterpieces meeting the following criteria. First, sources must be original in the sense that new mathematics is captured in the words and notation of the inventor. Thus we assemble original works or English translations. When English translations are not available, we and our students read certain works in their original French, German, or Latin. In the case of ancient sources, we must often depend upon restored originals and probe the process of restoration. Texts selected also encompass a breadth of mathematical subjects from antiquity to the twentieth century, and include the work of men and women and of Western and non-Western mathematicians. Finally, our selection provides a broad view of mathematics building upon our students' background, and aims, in some cases, to reveal the development over time of strands of mathematical thought. At present the masterpieces are selected from the following. ARCHIMEDES: The Greek method of exhaustion for computing areas and volumes, pioneered by Eudoxus, reached its pinnacle in the work of Archimedes during the third century BC. A beautiful illustration of this method is Archimedes's determination of the area inside a spiral. [

Table of Contents The Divisions The Pure and the Physical Order, Purpose, and Method Greek mathematics was premised on inductive reasoning. Whereas ancient historians sough to deduce facts from observations, the mathematicians sought to explore and discover truths working from a factual foundation. Theoretical mathematics also provided ancient philosophers with the tools of logic, which were thus employed in the pursuit of practical ends. The classical interpretation of mathematics, as well as the subdivision of the discipline into specific categories, demonstrates the Greeks' approach to the subject. The Divisions A fragment of Archytus , a Pythagorean friend and contemporary of Plato, explains the Quadrivivium , the four fields into which the Pythagoreans divided mathematics: arithmetic, geometry, sphaeric (astronomy), and music. Plato classified mathematics into the same categories, but included as a separate division stereometry three-dimensional geometry between geometry and sphaeric. (The Pythagoreans considered stereometry as subfield of geometry).
