Extractions: The Democratic foundation established by the ancient Greeks Abstract: Our integrated project blends the subjects of math and history. Since two of our group members never bothered to show up these are the only two subjects we will be covering, with the two history majors focusing on religion and government respectively. The math portion will focus on famous Greek mathematicians. With the help of a special education major, we will alter the plan to cater to the needs of special needs students. I plan to use the week to explain how the ancient Greeks introduced a democratic form of government. This was a revolutionary form of rule in a world of dictators and tyrants. Throughout the week the class will learn about the origins of Greek democracy and its prominent figures. We will then compare and contrast the Greek form of democracy to the one used in our own government. We will also be discussing the possible reasons why democracy failed in Greece and if it seems possible for the United States to suffer the same fate. Names and Majors of the Team Members: Subjects Integrated: Objectives: Upon completion of this lesson, participating students will be able to note five key similarities between the ancient Greek democracy and the democracy of the United States.

Extractions: Consulting Translators Contact Us Abu Zayd Hunayn ibn Ishaq al-Ibadi (808 - 873) Hunayn ibn Ishaq is most famous as a translator. He was not a mathematician but trained in medicine and made his original contributions to the subject. However, as the leading translator in the House of Wisdom at one of the most remarkable periods of mathematical revival, his influence on the mathematicians of the time is of sufficient importance to merit his inclusion in this archive. His son Ishaq ibn Hunayn, strongly influenced by his father, is famed for his Arabic translation of Euclid's Elements. Hunayn's father was Ishaq, a pharmacist from Hira. The family were from a group who had belonged to the Syrian Nestorian Christian Church before the rise of Islam, and Hunayn was brought up as a Christian. Hunayn became skilled in languages as a young man, in particular learning Arabic at Basra and also learning Syriac. To continue his education Hunayn went to Baghdad to study medicine under the leading teacher of the time. However, after falling out with this teacher, Hunayn left Baghdad and, probably during a period in Alexandria, became an expert in the Greek language. Hunayn returned to Baghdad and established contact with the teacher with whom he had fallen out. The two became firm friends and were close collaborators on medical topics for many years.

Extractions: A Polish-Egyptian team has unearthed the site of the fabled University of Alexandria, home of Archimedes, Euclid and a host of other scholars from the era when Alexandria dominated the Mediterranean. The team has found 13 individual lecture halls, or auditoria, that could have accommodated as many as 5,000 students, according to archaeologist Zahi Hawass, president of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities. The classrooms are on the eastern edge of a large public square in the Late Antique section of modern Alexandria and are adjacent to a previously discovered theater that is now believed to be part of the university complex, Hawass said. All 13 of the auditoria have similar dimensions and internal arrangements, he added. They feature rows of stepped benches running along the walls on three sides of the rooms, sometimes forming a joined U at one end.

Extractions: [Antwerp], Philips Galle, ca. 1600. Oblong 4to. A series of 6 engraved prints (19 x 24.5 cm) without title, the first with a 4-line verse (in Latin, French and Dutch) in an elaborate ornamental scrollwork frame and each of the 5 following with an illustration and a 4-line verse (in Latin, French and Dutch) in a simpler ornamental frame. Loose leaves, mounted on paper, in a modern cloth box. The elder Ambrosius Francken (1544-1618), best known as a painter, spent his working career in Antwerp. This print series after his designs was published by the Antwerp engraver and print publisher Philips Galle (1537-1612). The engraver Karel van Mallery (who signed leaves 2, 4 and 5, but probably engraved all six) studied with Galle and married his daughter in 1598. The series was probably engraved between 1597, when Mallery set up as a master engraver, and 1612, when Galle died. The watermark is difficult to make out, but may be a hand

Vignettes Of Ancient Mathematics Pappus of alexandria, Collectio Mathematica. The earliest Greek text to use degrees(imported from Babylon) is hypsicles, Anaphoricus (2nd cent. BCE). http://www.calstatela.edu/faculty/hmendel/Ancient Mathematics/VignettesAncientMa
Extractions: The purpose of this site is to illustrate various mathematical techniques and strategies, mostly in ancient Greek mathematics, but other related examples will be included. This will not be a history of Greek mathematics but will contain examples designed to bring out a few interesting features. For the perspective of evidence, the techniques included will be of four sorts: Texts with explanatory diagrams. The diagrams will be 'modern' in the sense that they will walk the reader through the proof. Paraphrases or summaries with explanatory diagrams. Here the argument does occur in our sources, but a simpler paraphrase was used to facilitate understanding. For example, the mathematician may have needed the elaborate original text to explain matters easily understood by a series of well constructed diagrams. Simple illustrations of techniques: these illustrations are simpler than the examples which occur in ancient texts and so are useful for learning the techniques. Reconstructions of arguments which are lost, but which seem plausible. Some of these are standard in the modern literature; others express the personal tastes of the author.

Extractions: EUCLID That EUCLID taught mathematics in the school of Alexandria under the first of the Ptolemies, is all that is known with certainty of his life. Pappus speaks emphatically of his friendliness to other students of mathematics, contrasting him in this respect, rightly or wrongly, with Apollonius. Euclid wrote on several mathematical subjects, notably on the Data for determining the possibility of a problem, and on Conic Sections ; but his work on elementary mathematics, which has had the singular fortune, in this country at least, to identify a writer with the science of which he treats, can alone be here considered. Broadly speaking, this work consists of four divisions. The first, which includes the first six books, treats of such plane figures as can be described with rule and compass; dealing, first with equal magnitudes, subsequently with magnitudes that are unequal but similar. The second book, establishing equations, and the 5th and 6th dealing with proportions, may be regarded as containing the essential principles of Algebra. The second part, including the 7th, 8th, and 9th books, is a treatise on arithmetic. The third part, corresponding to the 10th book, discusses incommensurable magnitudes. The fourth division, including the 11th, 12th, and 13th books, discusses the geometry of solids. The books called 15th and 16th are by a later writer, probably Hypsicles. Euclid was a compiler and arranger, not a discoverer.

Extractions: Died: about 190 BC in Alexandria, Egypt Apollonius of Perga was known as 'The Great Geometer'. Little is known of his life but his works have had a very great influence on the development of mathematics, in particular his famous book Conics introduced terms which are familiar to us today such as parabola , ellipse and hyperbola Apollonius of Perga should not be confused with other Greek scholars called Apollonius, for it was a common name. In [1] details of others with the name of Apollonius are given: Apollonius of Rhodes, born about 295 BC, a Greek poet and grammarian, a pupil of Callimachus who was a teacher of Eratosthenes ; Apollonius of Tralles, 2nd century BC, a Greek sculptor; Apollonius the Athenian, 1st century BC, a sculptor; Apollonius of Tyana, 1st century AD, a member of the society founded by Pythagoras; Apollonius Dyscolus, 2nd century AD, a Greek grammarian who was reputedly the founder of the systematic study of grammar; and Apollonius of Tyre who is a literary character. The mathematician Apollonius was born in Perga, Pamphylia which today is known as Murtina, or Murtana and is now in Antalya, Turkey. Perga was a centre of culture at this time and it was the place of worship of Queen Artemis, a nature goddess. When he was a young man Apollonius went to Alexandria where he studied under the followers of Euclid

Extractions: The very words " mathematics " and " mathematician ", or their equivalents in most European languages, are derived from the Greek word meaning " to know " or " to learn ", Before the classical era, however, when it took on the specialized meaning that it has today, the Greek word mathema meant " that which is taught ", in other words all branches of knowledge.
