    Extractions: It should be noted that this is one of a two volume set. This author also compiled and commented upon The Elements of Euclid in three volumes [also available here]. These works were first brought to my attention by my Greek language professor nearly 40 years ago as the best English language source on Greek Mathematics. Just as the Greeks did not view pure mathematics or geometry as a lifes-work so to younger readers [through collage] the methods of logic may prove most useful. For we retired geezers not quite ready for Oprah reruns and made for T.V. romances it may be the stimulation of the brain by the problems [which are documented and solved in full], the history and the awe of how much these did without computers;

    http://galileoandeinstein.physics.virginia.edu/lectures/greek_math.htm
    
    Extractions: Link to Previous Lecture In our earlier discussion of the irrationality of the square root of 2, we presented a list of squares of the first 17 integers, and remarked that there were several "near misses" to solutions of the equation m n . Specifically, 3 + 1. These results were also noted by the Greeks, and set down in tabular form as follows: After staring at this pattern of numbers for a while, the pattern emerges: 3 + 2 = 5 and 7 + 5 = 12, so the number in the right-hand column, after the first row, is the sum of the two numbers in the row above. Furthermore, 2 + 5 = 7 and 5 + 12 = 17, so the number in the left-hand column is the sum of the number to its right and the number immediately above that one.

56. 2. Greek Mathematics And Pythagoras.
    2. greek mathematics and Pythagoras. In the greek mathematics it is noteworthy the distinction between arithmetic and logistics.  
    http://www.dm.uniba.it/~psiche/bas2/node3.html
    
    Extractions: Next: 3. Geometric algebra. Up: BEING AND SIGN Previous: 1. Mesopotamian and 'Mathema' means ''study subject'' and in the Pythagorean-Platonic tradition the term ''mathematics'' comprehended geometry, arithmetic, music and astronomy, the so called ''quadrivium'', that in the Platonic Academia was not an introductory discipline, but a sort of 'final training' for the aristocratic Guardians described in the Platonic Respublica. They appear organised as two pairs: geometry/astronomy and arithmetic/music, each pair including both the abstract and the concrete aspects, and describing respectively the being and signs worlds. In the Greek mathematics it is noteworthy the distinction between arithmetic and logistics. The former is a ''number theory'' and concerns with the numbers 'in themselves', by distinguishing even and odd, linear, plane and solid numbers, with a likely evident genetic reference to their ancient representation as pebbles on a surface, according to the ancient Pythagorean tradition. Following definitions are those of prime, square, cubic, oblong numbers. Proofs are geometric too, representing the numbers as figures, squares, rectangles, triangles, gnomons, and so on, according to the so called ''dot-algebra'' ((KNORR 1975)), and are the bases of that ''geometric algebra'' which we are going to analyse in the following sections. The latter copes with the practical aspects in measurement and trade, and deals with ''specific numbers of perceived and counted things'', using also special number-names depending on the numbered things: as, for example, 'phialites' ''number of bowls'', from 'phiale', ''bowl''. From this point of view, it is worthwhile to remind the adjectival nature of the Greek numbers (in Greek 1, 2, 3, 4, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands are inflected for genders and cases). Logistics comprehends elementary arithmetic operations and simple equations solution too.

    greek mathematics and its Modern Heirs. For over a thousand yearsfrom the fifth century BC to the fifth century ADGreek mathematicians  
    http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/vatican/math.html
    
    Extractions: Ninth century Euclid's Elements, written about 300 B.C., a comprehensive treatise on geometry, proportions, and the theory of numbers, is the most long-lived of all mathematical works. This manuscript preserves an early version of the text. Shown here is Book I Proposition 47, the Pythagorean Theorem: the square on the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares on the sides. This is a famous and important theorem that receives many notes in the manuscript. Archimedes, Works ca. 1458 In the early 1450s, Pope Nicholas V commissioned Jacobus de Sancto Cassiano Cremonensis to make a new translation of Archimedes with the commentaries of Eutocius. This became the standard version and was finally printed in 1544. This early and very elegant manuscript may have been in the possession of Piero della Francesca before coming to the library of the Duke of Urbino. The pages displayed here show the beginning of Archimedes' On Conoids and Spheroids with highly ornate, and rather curious, illumination.
