    http://www.stetson.edu/~efriedma/periodictable/html/Pu.html
    
    Extractions: Our knowledge of Pappus's life is almost nil. It appears that he was born in Alexandria and lived there all his life. A reference to Pappus in Proclus's writings says that he headed a school there. Pappus's major work in geometry is Synagoge , a collection of mathematical writings in 8 books thought to have been written in around 340. Obviously written with the object of reviving the classical Greek geometry, it covers practically the whole field. It is, however, a handbook or guide to Greek geometry rather than an encyclopaedia. It was intended to be read with the original works rather than to enable them to be dispensed with. Book 1 covered arithmetic and is now lost. Book2 is partly lost, but the remaining part deals with Apollonius's method for dealing with large numbers. The method expresses numbers as powers of 10,000. Book 3 is divided by Pappus into four parts. The first part looks at the problem of finding two mean proportionals between two given straight lines. The second part gives a construction of the arithmetic, geometric and harmonic means. The third part describes a collection of geometrical paradoxes which Pappus says are taken from a work by Erycinus. The final part shows how each of the 5 regular polyhedra can be inscribed in a sphere. Book 4 contains properties of curves including the spiral of Archimedes and the quadratrix of Hippias and includes his trisection methods. In Book 5 he discusses the 13 semiregular solids discovered by Archimedes. He compares the areas of figures with equal perimeters and volumes of solids with equal surface areas, proving a result due to Zenodorus that the sphere has greater volume than any regular solid with equal surface area. He also proves the related result that, for two regular solids with equal surface area, the one with the greater number of faces has the greater volume.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domus_Aurea
    
    Extractions: The Domus Aurea Latin for "Golden House") was a large palace built by the Roman emperor Nero after the fire that devastated Rome in AD. Built (of brick, not marble as is sometimes imagined), in the few years between the fire and Nero's suicide in 69 AD, the extensive gold-leaf that gave it its name was not the only extravagant element of its decor: stuccoed ceilings were applied with semi-precious stones and veneers of ivory. Pliny watched it being built ( Natural History xxxvi. 111). rus in urbe, bronze statue of himself, dressed in the garb of the Roman sun-god Apollo , the Colossus Neronis, and placed it just outside the main palace entrance. The colossus was revamped with the heads of several succeeding emperors before Hadrian moved it to the Flavian Amphitheater. This building took the name " Colosseum " in the Middle Ages, after the statue nearby. The name stuck. Romans excelled at the subversive art of graffiti .

    http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/aristotle-mathematics/supplement4.html
    
    Extractions: Citation Information This supplement provides some general indications of Aristotle's awareness and participation in mathematical activities of his time. Here are twenty-five of his favorite propositions (the list is not exhaustive). Where a proposition occurs in Euclid's Elements , the number is given, * indicates that we can reconstruct from what Aristotle says a proof different from that found in Euclid). Where the attribution is in doubt, I cite the scholar who endorses it. In many cases, the theorem is inferred from the context. In a given circle equal chords form equal angles with the circumference of the circle ( Prior Analytics i.24; not at all Euclidean in conception) The angles at the base of an isosceles triangle are equal ( Prior Analytics i.24; Eucl. i.5*). The angles about a point are two right angles ( Metaphysics ix 9; Eucl. follows from i def. 10). If two straight-lines are parallel and a straight-line intersects them, the interior angle is equal to the exterior angle (

67. MAXIMA AND MINIMA
    hyperbola. Some remarkable theorems on maximum areas are attributedto zenodorus, and preserved by Pappus and Theon of Alexandria.  
    http://21.1911encyclopedia.org/M/MA/MAXIMA_AND_MINIMA.htm
    
    Extractions: MAXIMA AND MINIMA 1. Of polygons of n sides with a given perimeter the regular polygon encloses the greatest area. 2. Of two regular polygons of the same perimeter, that with the greater number of sides encloses the greater area. 3. The circle encloses a greater area than any polygon of the same perimeter. 4. The sum of the areas of two isosceles triangles on given bases, the sum of whose perimeters is given, is greatest when the triangles are similar. 5. Of segments of a circle of given perimeter, the semicircle encloses the greatest area. 6 The sphere is the surface of given area which encloses the greatest volume. Serenus of Antissa investigated the somewhat trifling problem of finding the triangle of greatest area whose sides are formed by the intersections with the base and curved surface of a right circular cone of a plane drawn through its vertex. The next problem on maxima and minima of which there appears to be any record occurs in a letter from Regiomontanus to Roder (July 4, 1471), and is a particular numerical example of the problem of finding the point on a given straight line at which two given points subtend a maximum angle. N. Tartaglia in his General Irattalo de numeri et mesuri (c. 1556) gives, wit hout, proof, a rule for dividing a number into two parts such that the continued product of the numbers and their difference is a maximum. Fermat investigated maxima and minima by means of the principle that in the neighborhood of a maximum or minimum the differences of the values of a function are insensible, a method virtually the same as that of the differential calculus, and of great use in dealing with geometrical maxima and minima. His method was developed by Huygens, Leibnitz, Newton and others, and in particular by John Hudde, who investigated maxima and minima of functions of more than one independent variable, and made some attempt to discriminate between maxima and minima, a question first definitely settled, so far as one variable is concerned, by Cohn Maclaurin in his Treatise on Fluxions (1742). The method of the differential calculus was perfected by Euler and Lagrange.

68. Herod The Great: 37-4 BC

    Extractions: Herod the Great Back to Ancient Israel Chronology In 63 BC, Romans incorporated Judah (what is now Palestine) into their empire as the province of Judea and placed the Jewish lands under kings. The Herodian dynasty, a family of Jews who gained favor with the Romans, was appointed to these kingships. The Herodian family ruled over Palestine from 40 BC until around 100 AD. The most famous member of this family was Herod the Great, who ruled from 37 to 4 BC. He rebuilt Jerusalem , including the temple, and promoted Hellenistic culture. Herod was an ideal medium for the empire. His Jewish ancestry gave him identification with the Jewish culture and his close friendships with the Romans allowed him identification with them as well. His rise to power came through many intricately designed connections to the Romans and were spurred on by his desire to be the "king of the Jews." Julius Caesar defeated Pompey in 48 BC and made Hyrcanus II the high priest and Antipater II the administrator of Judea. Antipater II appointed his second son, Herod, as governor of Galilee. At 25 years of age Herod had already gained the admiration of both the Jews and the Romans for his leadership skills. Herod become involved with Roman affairs in Syria when in Damascus he joined Sextus Caesar, who appointed him governor of Syria. Herod proved to Rome that he was an able leader in collecting taxes and suppressing revolts. After Julius Caesar was murdered in 44 BC, Cassius assumed leadership in Syria and reappointed Herod as governor to collect more revenue.

    Extractions: LACVS Once there was a lake The site of the Colosseum is in fact a depression among the hills of Rome : the Palatine on its south-western side, the Velia on the western side, the last slopes of the Esquiline hill, also called Colle Oppio (now a park) on the northern side and the Celio on the Eastern side. The Velia Piazza Venezia to the Colosseum cutting through the forums of old Rome. Mussolini demanded a straight road from Piazza Venezia to the Colosseum, and that was the end of the Velia. Right: Granet, The Palatine Hill The valley collected the waters, which created a marsh or a lake, depending on the season. The small lake was fed by the waters of the Rio Labicano, a stream flowing down the Labicana valley, more or less along modern day Via Labicana. The stream can still be seen underground when visiting the Church of St. Clemente in Via di San Giovanni . There you can descend about 30 feet under modern ground level and walk on the cobblestones of old Roman alleys, enter shops and houses, visit a Mithraic temple and listen to the soothing sound of running water. The stream is still there and the water runs clear and fast, enclosed inside a conduct built in the 19 th century in order to drain the underground of the Basilica.

    Extractions: The circle is the curve for which the curvature is a constant, in a Whewell equation it can be written as s= f Because of its symmetry the circle is considered as the perfect shape. It is the symbol for the total symmetry of the divine (sic!). The Greek scholar Proclus (500 AC) wrote: "the circle is the first, the simplest and most perfect form". As Christian symbol it represents eternity, and the sleeping eye of God (Genesis 1:2). the breast of a mother, a tuba, plums and cherry flan. More rational the circle can be described as the ellipse, where the two foci coincide. Or as the collection of points with equal distance to a (center) point. At the top of this page we see the polar equation of a unity circle with radius 1 and as center the origin.

    http://www.tlg.uci.edu/help/Doc004.html
    
    Extractions: Last Revised: 2000-5-12 The following defines the sorting order for dates in the TLG Canon as used on the TLG CD ROMs and online databases. Thesaurus Linguae Graecae: Canon of Greek Authors and Works. 3rd edn. Oxford: Oxford University Press. pp. xix-xx.) Arabic numerals in cardinal form indicate the century of an author's floruit . A dash between numerals indicates that the author's floruit spans the two centuries. Thus, the date given for Strabo Geogr. is 1 B.C.-A.D. 1, based upon the approximate dates of his sojourns in Rome (44-35 B.C., again ca. 31 B.C., and a third time in 7 B.C.), Egypt (25 until ca. 19 B.C.), and Amasia (ca. 7 B.C. until his death sometime after A.D. 21.) When no firmer evidence can be adduced, a virgule between numerals is used to suggest the earliest and latest possible dates. Thus, the date given for Alciphron Rhet. et Soph. is A.D. 2/3, meaning that the earliest possible date for his letters (though purportedly written by Athenian fishermen, farmers, parasites, and courtesans of the fourth century B.C.) is the second century and the latest is the third. When only a terminus ante quem is discernable, or at least logically to be assumed, this is indicated by, for instance
