Extractions: Born: 835 in Baghdad (now in Iraq) Died: 912 in Cairo, Egypt. Ahmed ibn Yusuf wrote on ratio and proportion and it was translated into Latin by Gherard of Cremona. The book is largely a commentary on, and expansion of, Book 5 of Euclid's Elements . Ahmed ibn Yusuf also gave methods to solve tax problems which appear in Fibonacci's Liber Abaci . He was also quoted by Bradwardine, Jordanus and Pacioli. Abu Kamil Shuja ibn Aslam ibn Muhammad ibn Shuja Born: about 850 in (possibly) Egypt. Died: about 930. Abu Kamil Shuja is sometimes known as al'Hasib and he worked on integer solutions of equations. He also gave the solution of a fourth degree equation and of a quadratic equation with irrational coefficients. Abu Kamil's work was the basis of Fibonacci's books. He lived later than al'Khwarizmi and his biggest advance was in the use of irrational coefficients. Theon of Alexandria Born: about 335 in (possibly) Alexandria, Egypt. Died: about 395. Theon was the father of Hypatia and worked in Alexandria as a professor of mathematics and astronomy. He produced commentaries on many works such as Ptolemy's Almagest and works of Euclid. Theon was a competent but unoriginal mathematician. Theon's version of Euclid's Elements (with textual changes and some additions) was the only Greek text of the Elements known, until an earlier one was discovered in the Vatican in the late 19

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.

Notes On The Logarithmic Spiral The socalled book XIV of Euclid s Elements, written by hypsicles of alexandriabetween 200 and 100 BC, contains some results concerning the section. In http://www.spirasolaris.ca/rcarchibald.html
Extractions: The first discussions of this spiral occur in letters written by Descartes to Mersenne in 1638, and are based upon the consideration of a curve cutting radii vectores (drawn from a certain fixed point O ), under a constant angle, F Descartes made the very remarkable discovery that if B and C are two points on the curve its length from O to B is to the radius vector OB as the length of the curve from O to C is to OC whence s ap where s is the length measured along the curve from the pole to the point ( p, 01 , and a = sec F This leads to the polar equation (I) p = ke c F where k is a constant and c = cot a . The pole O is an asymptotic point. The pole and any two points on the spiral determine the curve; for the bisector of the angle made by the radii vectores is a mean proportional between radii. If c = 1 the ratio of two radii vectores corresponds to a number, and the angle between them to its logarithm; whence the name of the curve.

History Of Mathematics: Alexandria Euclid (c. 300 BCE); hypsicles; Heron; Menelaus; Ptolemy (Claudius Ptolemaeus) (CE100178); Diophantus; Pappus of alexandria (c. 320); Theon; Hypatia of alexandria(c http://aleph0.clarku.edu/~djoyce/mathhist/alexandria.html
Diophantus Of Alexandria And The 10-th Problem Of Hilbert We know almost nothing about Diophantus, except that he lived, in alexandria.We know that he quotes hypsicles ( 150 BC ) and he is quoted by Theon http://www.mlahanas.de/Greeks/Diophantus.htm
Extractions: We know almost nothing about Diophantus, except that he lived, in Alexandria. We know that he quotes Hypsicles ( 150 BC ) and he is quoted by Theon Alexandrinus (whose date is fixed by the solar eclipse of June 16, 364 AD ). This tomb hold Diophantus. Ah, what a marvel! And the tomb tells scientifically the measure of his life. God vouchsafed that he should be a boy for the sixth part of his life; when a twelfth was added, his cheeks acquired a beard; He kindled for him the light of marriage after a seventh, and in the fifth year after his marriage He granted him a son. Alas! late-begotten and miserable child, when he had reached the measure of half his father's life, the chill grave took him. After consoling his grief by this science of numbers for four years, he reached the end of his life. J R Newman (ed.) The World of Mathematics (New York 1956). From his epitaph, which is an equation that we have to solve, we know that he married at the age of 33, had a son who died when he was 42, 4 years before Diophantus himself died aged 84. From these data it is assumed that he lived from 200-284 AD. Diophantus began the systematic study of equations with integer coefficients.
Timeline Related To Greek Science And Technology About 150 BC hypsicles writes On the Ascension of Stars. 46 BC Sosigenes of alexandria(?46) BC designed a calendar of 365.25 days which was introduced by http://www.mlahanas.de/Greeks/TLAstronomy.htm
Extractions: Timeline related to Greek Astronomy About 600 BC Pherekydes, the teacher of Pythagoras , performed astronomical measurements with a heliotropion device in the island of Syros. (Herodotus describes later that the Greeks learned to use the Gnomon and Polos from the Egyptians and also the division of the day in 12 parts.) About 585 BC Thales of Miletus (636-546) BC predicts a solar eclipse. About 530 BC Pythagoras gives the name cosmos to the universe. About 520 BC Anaximander proposes that the Earth surface is cylindrical About 500 BC Heraclitus of Ephesus says the Universe is 10800 years old. In 1766 Georges Buffon said that the Earth is older than 6000 years (from fossils). About 470 BC Parmenides says that the Earth shape is spherical Harpalus, Astronomer (?-460) BC About 450 BC Anaxagoras of Athens (500-428) BC taught that the moon shines with the light of the Sun (a hot red stone larger than Peloponese) and so was able to explain the eclipses. Oenopides (500-432) BC measured the inclination of the Earth axis with respect to the ecliptic plane to be 24 degrees, defined the Great Year to be about 59 years, the interval with an exact repetition of days in a year and the lunar cycle with the Sun and Moon in the exact same locations in the sky, accounting not just for months but also its inclination. 450-385 BC Philolaus of Croton, in southern Italy, (c. 470 - c. 385) BC was the precursor of Copernicus in moving the earth from the center of the cosmos and making it a planet, but in Philolaus' system it does not orbit the sun but rather the central fire. Some scholars regard the astronomical system as a significant attempt to try to explain the phenomena, but others see it as primarily of mythic and religious significance. Philolaus is the first to incorporate all five planets commonly known in antiquity into an astronomical scheme in the correct order, which indicates that he was aware of the most up-to-date astronomical data.
