Extractions: Euclid Euclid (fl. c. 300 BC, Alexandria), the most prominent mathematician of Greco-Roman antiquity, best known for his treatise on geometry, the Elements. Life and work. Of Euclid's life it is known only that he taught at and founded a school at Alexandria in the time of Ptolemy I Soter, who reigned from 323 to 285/283 BC. Medieval translators and editors often confused him with the philosopher Eucleides of Megara, a contemporary of Plato about a century before, and therefore called him Megarensis. Writing in the 5th century AD, the Greek philosopher Proclus told the story of Euclid's reply to Ptolemy, who asked whether there was any shorter way in geometry than that of the Elements"There is no royal road to geometry." Another anecdote relates that a student, probably in Alexandria, after learning the very first proposition in geometry, wanted to know what he would get by learning these things, whereupon Euclid called his slave and said, "Give him threepence since he must needs make gain by what he learns."

Extractions: A Greek sophist of Elis and a contemporary of Socrates. He taught in the towns of Greece, especially at Athens. He had the advantage of a prodigious memory, and was deeply versed in all the learning of his day. He attempted literature in every form which was then extant. He also made the first attempt in the composition of dialogues. In the two Platonic dialogues named after him ( Hippias Major and Hippias Minor ), he is represented as excessively vain and arrogant.

Math Forum - Geometry Problem Of The Week of the original semicircle. What did hippocrates of chios prove aboutthese two regions? Hippocrates Lunes January 13-17, 1997. http://mathforum.org/geopow/archive/011797.geopow.html
Extractions: not part of the original semicircle. Rumor has it that Hippocrates of Chios proved something about the two shaded regions, but the next page of my book is missing. What's the story? Annie says: We had a good batting average this week - 34 right and only 3 wrong. One of the "wrong" ones was essentially right but I could not for the life of me understand the explanation. Another person did all the work but never stated what the answer was. And the other person didn't understand what I was looking for. All in all, a pretty decent week. Here are some comments from Dale Pearson, who teaches at Highland Park Senior High School: It was surprising to most of my students that the two yellow figures must be equal in area. Only one student suspected that this might be the case before any calculations were made. Most students thought that the triangle was larger. A couple of students thought that the moon-shaped figure was larger. This was not the end of the surprises, however. Many students has difficulty finding any relationships whatsoever among the elements of the figure until they found a orderly way to keep track of their results.
Extractions: A 'cross section' of a cube is a shape that you get when you cut the cube with a plane. Given a cube with a surface area of 96 cm^2, if you cut the cube with a plane that is parallel to one of its faces, you will get a square. What is the perimeter of that square? What is the perimeter of the largest rectangle you can get as a cross section? How can you get an equilateral triangle as a cross section? What are the areas of the square, rectangle, and the largest possible equilateral triangle? Hippocrates' Lunes - January 13-17, 1997 ABC is half a square inscribed in a semi-circle (A->B->C). Then a semi-circle is constructed on AB.

Extractions: Citation Information This supplement provides some general indications of Aristotle's awareness and participation in mathematical activities of his time. Here are twenty-five of his favorite propositions (the list is not exhaustive). Where a proposition occurs in Euclid's Elements , the number is given, * indicates that we can reconstruct from what Aristotle says a proof different from that found in Euclid). Where the attribution is in doubt, I cite the scholar who endorses it. In many cases, the theorem is inferred from the context. In a given circle equal chords form equal angles with the circumference of the circle ( Prior Analytics i.24; not at all Euclidean in conception) The angles at the base of an isosceles triangle are equal ( Prior Analytics i.24; Eucl. i.5*). The angles about a point are two right angles ( Metaphysics ix 9; Eucl. follows from i def. 10). If two straight-lines are parallel and a straight-line intersects them, the interior angle is equal to the exterior angle (

See for example EIR April 12, 2002 and May 3, 2002 When the Delians, circa 370 B.C., suffering the ravages of a plague, were directed by an oracle to increase the size of their temple's altar, Plato admonished them to disregard all magical interpretations of the oracle's demand and concentrate on solving the problem of doubling the cube. This is one of the earliest accounts of the significance of pedagogical, or spiritual, exercises for economics. Some crises, such as the one currently facing humanity, require a degree of concentration on paradoxes that outlasts one human lifetime. Fortunately, mankind is endowed with what LaRouche has called, ``super-genes,'' which provide the individual the capacity for higher powers of concentration, by bringing the efforts of generations past into the present. Exemplary is the case of Bernhard Riemann's 1854 habilitation lecture, On the Hypotheses that Underlie the Foundations of Geometry

Greek Mathematics hippocrates of chios (470410 BC) is famous for his quadrature of lunes (crescent-shapedfigures which are defined by two semi-circles of different radius). http://members.fortunecity.com/kokhuitan/greek.html
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.

The older elements were at once superseded by Euclid's and then forgotten.

Extractions: Period marking the begining of science, as well as the development of literature, arts, politics, and philosophy. During these years, the city-states (polis in Greek) flourish. These include the Sparta and Athens. Within this period the Ionian school of natural philosophy was founded by Thales of Miletus . This is considered the first school for speculating about nature in a scientific way, hence signifies the birth of science. All philosophers - scientists up to Democritus are considered to be PreSocratics. Thales of Miletus (624-560 B.C.). Astronomer, mathematician and philosopher. Learned astronomy from the Babylonians.
