Eutocius eutocius of ascalon. Born about 480 eutocius of ascalon was for along time thought to have been born in 530. It is instructive http://www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Eutocius.html
Extractions: Eutocius of Ascalon was for a long time thought to have been born in 530. It is instructive to see how this came about for it shows how many pitfalls there are in the study of history. Eutocius wrote commentaries on three works of Archimedes . His commentary on Book II of On the Sphere and Cylinder ends with the statement:- ... the edition was revised by Isidorus of Miletus, the mechanical engineer, our teacher. From this it was thought that Eutocius was a pupil of Isidorus and his dates were deduced from this information. However, further investigation showed that this contradicted other information such the dedications that Eutocius makes in some of his other works. It was then realised that the comment at the end of Eutocius's commentary to Archimedes On the Sphere and Cylinder was inserted by a later editor of the work who was indeed a pupil of Isidorus of Miletus. It is thought that the first of Eutocius's commentaries on Archimedes was written around 510.

Extractions: Archytas of Tarentum was a mathematician, statesman and philosopher who lived in Tarentum in Magna Graecia, an area of southern Italy which was under Greek control in the fifth century BC. The Pythagoreans, who had at one stage been strong throughout Magna Graecia, were attacked and expelled until only the town of Tarentum remained a stronghold for them. Archytas led the Pythagoreans in Tarentum and tried to unite the Greek towns in the area to form an alliance against their non-Greek neighbours. He was commander in chief of the forces in Tarentum for seven years despite there being a law that nobody could hold the post for more than a year. Plato , who became a close friend, made his acquaintance while saying in Magna Graecia. Heath writes in [4]:- ... he is said, by means of a letter, to have saved

Extractions: The Greeks are responsible for initial explosion of Mathematical ideas. For several centuries, Greek mathematics reign the mathematical world, with great advances in Number Theory, the Theory of Equation, and in particular Geometry. The first great Greek mathematician is Thales of Miletus (624-547 BC). He brought the knowledge of Egyptian Geometry to the Greeks and discovered several theorems in elementary Geometry. He predicted a Solar Eclipse in 585 BC and could calculate the height of a pyramid, as well as how far a ship is from land. One of his pupils, the Greek philosopher, Anaximander of Miletus (610-546 BC), is considered the founder of Astronomy. Perhaps the most prominent Greek mathematicians is Pythagoras of Samos (569-475 BC). His ideas were greatly influenced by Thales and Anaximander. His school of thought practiced great secrecy and he (and his followers, called Pythagoreans) believe everything in the world can be reduced to numbers. This idea stemmed from Pythagoras' observations in Music, Mathematics and Astronomy. E.g. Pythagoras noticed that vibrating strings produce harmonics in which the lengths of the strings are in ratios of whole numbers. In fact, he contributed greatly to the mathematical theory of music. He had the notion of Odd and Even Numbers, Triangular Numbers, Perfect Numbers, etc. In particular, he is well known today for his Pythagoras Theorem. Although this theorem is known to the Babylonians and Chinese long before Pythagoras, he seemed to be the first person to provide a proof of it.
Extractions: This article deals with the corpus of diagrams included in Books I-IV of Apollonios of Perga's Conics (ca. 200 B.C.). The original text of these four books has not survived. The Greek as well as the Arabic traditions have handed down to us Eutocius of Ascalon's edition (6th century A.D.), which came with a commentary only preserved by the Greek tradition. After a survey of the usage of construction methods in Greek classical geometry, the author studies diagram practices in the treatise, drawing rules, and the nature of the figures handed down by manuscripts. As far as possible, a distinction between Apollonios's own composition and what must be ascribed to the editor and commentator is drawn. ISSN :

Extractions: Brown University Library possess a copy of each sixteenth-century translation of Euclid's Elements of Geometry into a modern language. These vernacular editions, grouped around the first Latin edition of 1482, are displayed in chronological sequence, from 1533 (Greek) to 1594 (Arabic). All copies are opened at Book I, proposition 47, "Pythagoras' Theorem," which asserts: "In right-angled triangles the square of the side opposite the right angle is equal to the sum of the squares of the sides containing the right angle." Most of the translations provide proof of this equation (a + b = c using a geometrical construction known as "the bride's chair." Euclid's Elements of Geometry has been a primary mathematics text for more than two thousand years. It is a compilation of early Greek mathematical knowledge, synthesized and systematically presented by Euclid in ca. 300 BC. Books I-IV are devoted to plane geometry, Book V deals with the theory of proportions, and Book VI with the similarity of plane figures. Books VII-IX are on number theory, Book X on commensurability and incommensurability, Books XI-XII explore three dimensional geometric objects, and Book XIII deals with the construction of the five regular solids. Later non-Euclidian additions include, Book XIV, which is thought to have been contrbuted by Hypsciles (ca. 200 BC), and Book XV, which may have been added by John of Damascus, or by a 6th-century pupil of Isadoros of Miletos.

Extractions: 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.

Extractions: Ancient Gadara City of Philosophers Index Introduction Cynics of Gadara Other philosophers Rhetoricians of Gadara other Gadarans Roman Inscriptions and papyri the Byzantine baths the Byzantine synagogue Introduction I have often been asked, Why Gadara City of Philosophers? and why a picture (117K) of the late Greco-Roman entrance to its baths on my welcome page? The answer is quite simple: ancient Gadara (Hebrew: Gader) was the birthplace of three famous Cynic philosopher- satirists, one famous Epicurean philosopher-poet, two important rhetoricians and one famous mathematician In addition, a famous neo-Platonic philosopher once taught in its baths of Hammat-Gader. there are also indications of popular poets, charmers and witches from this city mentioned in various ancient inscriptions and papyri. We also know of an active Jewish community in the area from synagogue inscriptions of the Byzantine era. Finally, recent excavations have uncovered some important Christian inscriptions concerning the baths (el-Hameh) at Hammat-Gader, including a short epic poem in praise of its hot springs apparently written by the
