Extractions: Greek astronomer and mathematician. In his celestial mechanics, the planets, Sun, Moon, and the sphere of fixed stars were all set at intervals congruent with an octave. His only surviving work, Expositio rerum mathematicarum ad legendum Platoneum utilium, is in two manuscripts, one on mathematics and one on astronomy and astrology. Theon collated and organized discoveries made by his predecessors, and articulated the interrelationships between arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy. The section on mathematics deals with prime, geometrical, and other numbers in the Pythagorean pantheon; the section on music considers instrumental music, mathematical relations between musical intervals, and the harmony of the universe. The astronomical section is by far the most important. Theon puts forward what was then known about conjunctions, eclipses, occultations, and transits. Other subjects covered include descriptions of eccentric and epicyclic orbits, and estimates of the greatest arcs of Mercury and Venus from the Sun. Site Map Category Main Page About Us

Extractions: Little is known of Theon of Smyrna 's life. He was called 'the old Theon' by Theon of Alexandria and 'Theon the mathematician' by Ptolemy . The date of his birth is little better than a guess, but we do have some firm data about dates in his life. We know that he was making astronomical observations of Mercury and Venus between 127 and 132 since Ptolemy lists four observations which Theon made in 127, 129, 130 and 132. From these observations Theon made estimates of the greatest angular distance that Mercury and Venus can reach from the Sun. The style of his bust, dedicated by his son 'Theon the priest', gives us the date of his death to within 10 years and it is placed within the period 130-140 (hence our midpoint guess of 135). Theon's most important work is Expositio rerum mathematicarum ad legendum Platonem utilium. This work is a handbook for philosophy students to show how prime numbers , geometrical numbers such as squares, progressions, music and astronomy are interrelated. Its rather curious title means that it was intended as an introduction to a study of the works of

Extractions: By I. M. Oderberg Whenever we may think of arithmetic and other subjects dealing with figures, we tend to remember most our early struggles in school with geometry based on Euclid's Elements. But among the eminent mathematicians in Greece, the Pythagoreans took an approach very different from his. For them, mathematics had a connection with philosophy; there was a mystical tone in their work similar to that in Oriental thought. The followers of Pythagoras were indeed meticulous in their thinking with figures and their empirical work with them, but their precise mathematical speculation was not severed from the depth of metaphysical concepts. The profound difference between these two points of view may be summed up by comparing Euclid's propositions, which are logical but display no philosophical basis, with the texts of Theon of Smyrna which are in a direct line from the older Pythagoreans. The latter proceeded from principles or a priori established laws accompanied with simple demonstrations for verification and contemplation, but always using these as a means, for philosophizing about the nature of the Universe." [See p. xi, Theon of Smyrna: Mathematics Useful for Understanding Plato , by Theon of Smyrna, translated by Robert and Deborah Lawlor from the 1892 Greek/French edition of J. Dupuis (Secret Doctrine Reference Series, Wizards Bookshelf); the notes by J. Dupuis are invaluable, as also the translators' introduction and the publisher's glossary and note. The index and end-papers are of assistance, the latter showing a) a map of the ancient sites in Greece and Magna Graecia, and b) a table of five of the chief foreign alphabets.]

Extractions: By I. M. Oderberg The stream of an ancient wisdom flows out of a remote antiquity. At times traces of its existence are observable while at others, when dogmatism prevails, the stream runs underground, its treasures in texts or fragments preserved in old cultures for future mankinds. In eras barren of spirituality, solitary individuals emerge out of the darkness like beacons. One whose light has endured for millennia was Pythagoras, the Greek philosopher of the sixth century BC, best known in our school days as a mathematician and formulator of the theorem of the right-angled triangle. There was, however, another side to his teachings: that involving the development and training of character. While we do not have any of his own writings, those of his immediate students and later followers testify to the quality of his life and teaching that survived his personality. Plato writes, for example, that there is no record of Homer presiding, like Pythagoras, over a band of intimate disciples who loved him for the inspiration of his society and . . . the way of life which the Pythagoreans called after their founder and which to this day distinguishes them from the rest of the world . . .

Extractions: Previous (Alphabetically) Next Welcome page Theon of Smyrna 's most important work is Expositio rerum mathematicarum . This work is a handbook for philosophy students to show how prime numbers, geometrical numbers such as squares, progressions, music and astronomy are interrelated. The most important feature of the work is the wide range of citations of earlier sources. Its worst feature is its lack of originality. The best section of Expositio rerum mathematicarum is the astronomy section which teaches that the Earth is spherical, that mountains are negligible in height compared with the Earth etc. It includes knowledge of conjunctions, eclipses, occultations and transits. Although little is known of Theon's life, even the dates of his birth and death are little better than guesses. However we do know that he was making astronomical observations of Mercury and Venus between 127 and 132. From these observations he made estimates of the greatest angular distance Mercury and Venus can reach from the Sun. Theon also wrote commentaries on the main authorities of mathematics and astronomy. In particular he wrote an important work on
