GREEK MATHEMATICIANS The ancient Greeks were very interested in scientific thought. They were not satisfied with just knowing the facts; they wanted to know the why and how. It should be no surprise that the Greeks were extremely successful in the area of mathematics. The mathematics we use today, and its content, are for the most part Greek. The Greeks laid down the first principles, and invented methods for solving problems. Though most people don't realize it, mathematics is a Greek science - regardless of what modern day analysis might bring. When people look back on Greek genius, they may naturally call to mind masterpieces in Greek literature and art . But the Greeks, with their insatiable desire to know the true meaning of everything and give a rational explanation of it, were irresistibly drawn to the sciences, exact reasoning in general, and logic. There are many famous Greek names in mathematics. One of which is Aristotle , who said he could conceive of nothing more beautiful than the objects of mathematics. Plato , delighted in geometry and the wonders of numbers, inscribed, "let no one destitute of geometry enter my doors" over the entrance to his academy.

Ancient Greek Mathematics Overview and Timeline of Early Greek History Sources of Greek Mathematical Writings Thales, the Earliest Greek Mathematician of Note Map rom the University of Pennsylvania Overview and Timeline of Early Greek History The following sites, among numerous others, provide a timeline and overview of the history of ancient Greece Ancient Greece.com University of Pennsylvania The time period for the rise of Ancient Greek mathematics that we are considering begins approximately in the 6th century B.C., flourishing in the fifth and fourth centuries B.C., and peaking in the third century B.C. The earliest two mathematicians of record were Thales of Miletus, approximately 625 547 B.C., and Pythagoras of Samos, 580 500 B.C. The Greeks' location on the Aegean and Mediterranean seas allowed them to become great travelers. Colonization during the period from the 11th century forward, allowed a network of Greek cities exist along the cost of the Mediterranean, in islands off of Asia Minor and, later, lower Italy and Sicily. By 800 B.C., there was a "Greater Greece" that had a unity of language and culture in the ancient Mediterranean area. The "Greek Miracle" a rapid advancement in culture and learning that took place was due to the colonization from the eighth to 6th century B.C. This colonization allowed not only the culture of the Greeks to flow out, but also allowed the older Egyptian and Babylonian culture and knowledge to influence the Greeks. Most important early Greek mathematical knowledge came from these outposts in Asia Minor, Southern Italy and Africa. One of the most important developments, the Greek alphabet, was developed by borrowing and adapting the Phoenician alphabet.

If you are interested in learning more about Greek mathematics, you can browse this website or chat (below) with others about the influence of Greek mathematics on western civilization. For those who have little knowledge about this subject, ask yourself: "How will I ever use these postulates and theorems, and who has come up with all of these interesting ideas? Where did all of this come from?".... If you guessed Ancient Greece, you're right! While Alexander the Great was out on his conquests, mathematicians like Euclid and Aristotle were coming up with new ideas which would benefit western civilization 2300 years later. If you look at the Parthenon (bottom of page) from a distance away, it looks perfectly rectangular. But in fact, the floor, walls, and columns are actually bowed. The ancient Greek architects who calculated the measurements that would be used in the construction of the Parthenon, used mathematics to come up with their designs. Buildings, like the Parthenon, have influenced many modern buildings like the Philadelphia Art Museum. Greek mathematics has made an astonishing impact on our world. By scrolling down this page, you will be able to see the influence that Ancient Greek mathematics has had on Western Civilization.... Your journey begins here.

Ancient Greek Mathematics Have you ever wondered who was responsible for making those complicated theorems that we use in geometry and algebra? What about the fact that certain intersecting lines are called rectangles or triangles? Where did all of these interesting ideas come from? Most of these ideas came from the great minds of mathematicians from ancient Greece. If it wasn't for these Mathematicians, we would have a harder time solving mathematical problems. For example, modern architects would have a harder time calculating distances as they would not know that the sum of the squares of two sides of a right triangle equals the square of its hypotenuse (Pythagorean Theorem). These ideas have formed the basis for the advancement of science in western civilization. The mathematics and astronomy of the Greeks had been known in medieval western Europe only through often imperfect translations, some of them made from Arabic intermediary texts rather than the Greek originals. Greek Influence - Main Page Ancient Greek Agriculure Ancient Greek Astronomy Ancient Greek Earth Science ... Ancient Greek Medicine For over a thousand years (from the fifth century B.C. to the fifth century A.D.) Greek mathematicians maintained a splendid tradition of work in the exact sciences: mathematics, astronomy, and related fields. Though the early synthesis of Euclid and some of the supremely brilliant works of Archimedes were known in the medieval west, this tradition really survived elsewhere. In Byzantium, the capital of the Greek-speaking Eastern empire, the original Greek texts were copied and preserved. In the Islamic world, in locales that ranged from Spain to Persia, the texts were studied in Arabic translations and fundamental new work was done.

Ancient Greek Mathematics Ancient Greek mathematics achieve the full flower of intellectual development on an equal par with modern levels. The brought the full flower of geometry as an axiomatic system. They also seem to have created the basis of logical argument and the axiomatic method. Probably there is no other epoch of human civilization where evidence of such fundamental and sweeping changes in though have occurred. Many of the results from Greek mathematics are advanced mathematical topics still today. As well, most mathematicians haven't a glimmer of its depth. While everyone has heard of Euclid, few know that the famous Elements was a compendium of plane geometry, number theory, and solid geometry. From this work of thirteen book, just the first two are studied in high school. As you will see the theoretical content is remarkable, exceeded perhaps only by mathematical technique as achieved by Archimedes and Apollonius.

Next: 3. Geometric algebra. Up: BEING AND SIGN Previous: 1. Mesopotamian and 2. Greek mathematics and Pythagoras. 'Mathema' means ''study subject'' and in the Pythagorean-Platonic tradition the term ''mathematics'' comprehended geometry, arithmetic, music and astronomy, the so called ''quadrivium'', that in the Platonic Academia was not an introductory discipline, but a sort of 'final training' for the aristocratic Guardians described in the Platonic Respublica. They appear organised as two pairs: geometry/astronomy and arithmetic/music, each pair including both the abstract and the concrete aspects, and describing respectively the being and signs worlds. In the Greek mathematics it is noteworthy the distinction between arithmetic and logistics. The former is a ''number theory'' and concerns with the numbers 'in themselves', by distinguishing even and odd, linear, plane and solid numbers, with a likely evident genetic reference to their ancient representation as pebbles on a surface, according to the ancient Pythagorean tradition. Following definitions are those of prime, square, cubic, oblong numbers. Proofs are geometric too, representing the numbers as figures, squares, rectangles, triangles, gnomons, and so on, according to the so called ''dot-algebra'' ((KNORR 1975)), and are the bases of that ''geometric algebra'' which we are going to analyse in the following sections. The latter copes with the practical aspects in measurement and trade, and deals with ''specific numbers of perceived and counted things'', using also special number-names depending on the numbered things: as, for example, 'phialites' ''number of bowls'', from 'phiale', ''bowl''. From this point of view, it is worthwhile to remind the adjectival nature of the Greek numbers (in Greek 1, 2, 3, 4, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands are inflected for genders and cases). Logistics comprehends elementary arithmetic operations and simple equations solution too.

Suche Specials Eignungstest Kreditkarte The Shaping of Deduction in Greek Mathematics von Reviel Netz Kategorie: Allgemein ISBN: 0521622794 Synopsis The aim of this book is to explain the shape of Greek mathematical thinking. It can be read on three levels: as a description of the practices of Greek mathematics; as a theory of the emergence of the deductive method; and as a case-study for a general view on the history of science. The starting point for the enquiry is geometry and the lettered diagram. Reviel Netz exploits the mathematicians' practices in the construction and lettering of their diagrams, and the continuing interaction between text and diagram in their proofs, to illuminate the underlying cognitive processes. A close examination of the mathematical use of language follows, especially mathematicians' use of repeated formulae. Two crucial chapters set out to show how mathematical proofs are structured and explain why Greek mathematical practice manages to be so satisfactory. A final chapter looks into the broader historical setting of Greek mathematical practice. Winner of the Runciman Award 2000.
