Zeno_of_Sidon zeno of sidon. Born about Athens, Greece. zeno of sidon was born in thecity of Sidon on the Mediterranean coast of what today is Lebanon. http://homepages.compuserve.de/thweidenfeller/mathematiker/Zeno_of_Sidon.htm
Extractions: Died: about 70 BC in Athens, Greece Zeno of Sidon was born in the city of Sidon on the Mediterranean coast of what today is Lebanon. Sidon was one of the oldest Phoenician cities and, from its founding in the 3rd millennium BC, was ruled by many different peoples: Assyria, Babylonia, Persia, Alexander the Great , the Seleucids of Syria, the Ptolemys of Egypt, and the Romans. To understand the philosophy of Zeno we need to make some comments about the philosopher Epicurus who founded the Epicurean School to which Zeno later belonged. Epicurus, who lived from 341BC to 270 BC, founded his own School of philosophy based on his teachings. These teachings were designed to indicate a means of living ones life, and they aimed both to guarantee happiness and to provide a means to find it. Epicurus had no interest in science for its own sake and he was a severe critic of mathematics. On science he wrote:- If we were not troubled by our suspicions of the phenomena of the sky and about death, and also by our failure to grasp the limits of pain and desires, we should have no need of natural science. His criticisms of mathematics were very superficial of little importance since he clearly had very little understanding of the subject. In 306 BC he founded his School in Athens in the garden of his house. Reasonably enough the School became known as The Garden.

Extractions: 150-70 BC Zeno of Sidon could be well described as a non-conformist or a very critical mathematician. Born in approximately 150 B.C, in Sidon or presently Saida in Lebanon, Zeno was particularly critical of Euclid's work with Geometry. Specifically, Zeno criticized Euclid's 1st proposition on the grounds that it was necessary for Euclid to include an axiom stating that two straight lines can intersect in at most one point. Furthermore, Zeno was also reluctant to accept the existence of a right angle. He challenged Euclid's proof on the equality of right triangles. For this reason, Zeno could be considered the pioneer of non-Euclidean geometry. Author: Filiberto Barajas References:

Extractions: Main Page See live article Alphabetical index Philosophy has a long history. Generally, philosophers divide the history of Western philosophy into ancient philosophy medieval philosophy modern philosophy , and contemporary philosophy. Western Philosophy is generally said to begin in the Greek cities of western Asia Minor (Ionia) with Thales of Miletus, who was active around 585 B.C. and left us the opaque dictum, "All is water." His most noted students were Anaximenes of Miletus and Anaximander ("All is air"). Other thinkers and schools appeared throughout Greece over the next couple of centuries. Among the most important were: Heraclitus , who stressed the transitory and chaotic nature of all things ("All is fire"; "We cannot step into the same river twice"). Anaxagoras , who conversely asserted that reality was so ordered that it must be in all respects governed by Mind. The Pluralists and Atomists ( Empedocles Democritus ) who tried to understand the world as composite of innumerable interacting parts; and the Eleatics Parmenides and Zeno who both insisted that All is One and change is impossible. Parmenides and his school emphasized the numerical, mathematical character of the world and of truth.

Extractions: bottom of page One of the most influential mathematicians of ancient Greece, Euclid flourished around 300 B.C. Not much is known about the life of Euclid. One story which reveals something about Euclid's character concerns a pupil who had just completed his first lesson in geometry. The pupil asked what he would get from learning geometry. So Euclid told his slave to give the pupil a coin so he would be gaining something from his studies. Included in the many works of Euclid is Data , concerning the solution of problems through geometric analysis, On Divisions (of Figures) , the Optics , the Phenomena , a treatise on spherical geometry for astronomers, several lost works on higher geometry, and the Elements , a thirteen volume textbook on geometry. The Elements , which surely became a classic soon after its publication, eventually became the most influential textbook in the history of civilization. In fact, it has been said that apart from the Bible , the Elements is the most widely read and studied book in the world.
