   Extractions: Abstract. Mathematician Jay Kappraff discusses a pair of tables of integers found in the Nicomachus's Introduction to Arithmetic and shows how they lead to a general theory of proportion. He shows how the system of musical proportions developed by the neo-Platonic Renaissance architects Leon Battista Alberti and Andrea Palladio, the Roman system of proportions described by Theon of Smyrna, and the Modulor of Le Corbusier are derived naturally from the Nicomachus tables. The Arithmetic of Nicomachus of Gerasa N icomachus of Gerasa (Figure 1, at left) has gained a position of importance in the history of ancient mathematics due in great measure to his Introduction to Arithmetic [1]. This book is one of the only surviving documentations of Greek number theory. Little is known about the life of Nicomachus, and the period of his life can only be estimated to lie between the middle of the first century and the middle of the second century AD, making him contemporary with Theon of Smyrna and Ptolemy. I will discuss a pair of tables of integers found in the

He was from Gerasa, a Greek town in Judea . It is not known exactly when he was born or died but it is estimated that he lived from about 60-120 A.D. based on him being mentioned in a small number of sources. We can assume that he probably studied in Alexandria because much of his work is heavily influenced with Pythagorean ideas. There are two surviving works done by Nicomachus: Introduction to Arithmetic and Introduction to Harmonics . The books are written with great detail but contain no proofs. Nicomachus relied on examples rather than proofs. Contributions A Closer Look Introduction to Arithmetic was split into two books.

    Extractions: by Flora R. Levin In ancient Greek thought, the musical scale discovered by the philosopher Pythagoras was seen as a utopian model of the harmonic order behind the structure of the cosmos and human existence. Through proportion and harmony, the musical scale bridges the gap between two extremes. It encapsulates the most fundamental pattern of harmonic symmetry and demonstrates how the phenomena of nature are inseparably related to one another through the principle of reciprocity. Because of these relationships embodied in its structure, the musical scale was seen as an ideal metaphor of human society by Plato and other Pythagorean thinkers, for it is based on the cosmic principles of harmony, reciprocity, and proportion, whereby each part of the whole receives its just and proper share. This book is the first ever complete translation of The Manual of Harmonics by the Pythagorean philosopher Nicomachus of Gerasa (second century A.D.) published with a comprehensive, chapter-by-chapter commentary. It is a concise and well-organized introduction to the study of harmonics, the universal principles of relation embodied in the musical scale. Also included is a remarkable chapter-by-chapter commentary by the translator, Flora Levin, which makes this work easily accessible to the reader today. Dr. Levin explains the principles of Pythagorean harmony, provides extensive background information, and helps to situate Nicomachus' thought in the history of ideas. This important work constitutes a valuable resource for all students of ancient philosophy, Western cosmology, and the history of music.

    Extractions: Nicomachus of Gerasa is mentioned in a small number of sources and we can date him fairly accurately from the information given. Nicomachus himself refers to Thrasyllus who died in 36 AD so this gives lower limits on his dates. On the other hand Apuleius, the Platonic philosopher, rhetorician and author whose dates are 124 AD to about 175 AD, translated Nicomachus's Introduction to Arithmetic into Latin so this gives an upper limit on his dates. One of the most interesting references is by Lucian , the rhetorician, pamphleteer and satirist who was born about 120 AD, who makes one of his characters say: You calculate like Nicomachus . Clearly Nicomachus had achieved fame for his arithmetical work! Nicomachus was a Pythagorean . This is obvious from his writings on numbers and music, but we are also told this by Porphyry who says that he was one of the leading members of the Pythagoreans School. Nicomachus wrote Arithmetike eisagoge (Introduction to Arithmetic) which was the first work to treat arithmetic as a separate topic from geometry. Unlike Euclid, Nicomachus gave no abstract proofs of his theorems, merely stating theorems and illustrating them with numerical examples. However Introduction to Arithmetic does contain quite elementary errors which show that Nicomachus chose not to give proofs of his results because he did not in general have such proofs. Many of the results were known by Nicomachus to be true since they appeared with proofs in Euclid, although in a geometrical formulation. Sometimes Nicomachus stated a result that is simply false and then illustrated it with an example that happens to have the properties described in the result. We must deduce from this that some of the results are merely guesses based on the evidence of the numerical examples (and in some cases perhaps even based on one example!).

    Extractions: Mill Valley, California 94941 USA T he three principal means most commonly held useful to architects and artists are the arithmetic, the geometric, and the harmonic means. The subject of the three means can be found both in ancient Greek sources and in crucial Renaissance architectural treatises such as those of Leon Battista Alberti and Andrea Palladio.[ As a very brief introduction to means, let me give a simplified definition and explanation of what a mean is. Mathematically, a mean is a quantity having a value intermediate between two other values, as determined by a specific formula or set of conditions. A mean is a number that stands in some proportionality (or other relationship) to a number lesser than it in value and another number greater than it in value. The outer two numbers are called extremes.[ ] A mean is a kind of average between extremes, but the various types of means include averages that are more complex than the familiar concept of 'halfway in between' (i.e., the arithmetic mean).

    Extractions: www.Chrysalis-Foundation.org FLEXIBLE STRINGS Part V: Musical, Mathematical, and Linguistic Origins of Length Ratios For descriptions of the arithmetic and harmonic divisions of musical intervals that determine the 'minor' and 'major' tonalities in Western music, see Ibn Sina, Stifel, and Zarlino. Chapter 3: Section 17 We may use the preceding example, which describes the tuning process of two unfamiliar frequency ratios, 7/5 and 7/2, to analyze the musical, mathematical, and linguistic origins of length ratios. Although aural experiences of sound depend on frequencies, our anatomy does not enable us to quantify rates of vibration from oscillating strings. As such, the frequencies produced while playing musical intervals have always and will always remain incomprehensible quantities. Therefore, if we spontaneously tune two canons strings to an unfamiliar musical interval, we cannot identify the new interval by counting cycles per second and constructing a frequency ratio. To comprehend such an experience, we must measure the corresponding string lengths, and, through the construction of a length ratio, identify the unfamiliar interval. Conversely, to intentionally tune two strings to a new musical interval, we cannot locate the required position of a canon bridge by simply listening to frequencies. Instead, we must divide the strings according to a length ratio that
