Extractions: Callippus developed and perfected the system of concentric spheres proposed by Eudoxus, adding seven more spheres - one for each of the planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn) and one each for the sun and the moon, both then considered planets - for a total of 34. He made detailed observations of the rising and setting of the fixed stars, especially the "dawn-risers" and "evening-setters". His calculation of the duration of the seasons - Spring 94 days, Summer 92, Autumn 89, Winter 90 - was accurate to within 0.08 - 0.44 days. He improved on Meton's 19-year luni-solar calendar, introducing the 76-year (4 x 19) cycle named after him, which skipped one day every 76 years, and gave a year of 365.25 days and a month of 29.53. His sole known work, "On the System of the Planets", is lost.

Extractions: If Thales was the first of all the great Greek philosophers, Plato must remain the best known of all the Greeks. The original name of this Athenian aristocrat was Aristocles, but in his school days he received the nickname Platon (meaning "broad" ) because of his broad shoulders. (He is not the only great man to be known universally by a nickname. The Roman orator Cicero is another. ) Plato was born in Athens, about 427 B.C., and died there about 347 B.C. In early life Plato saw war service and had political ambitions. However, he was never really sympathetic to the Athenian democracy and he could not join wholeheartedly in its government. He was a devoted follower of Socrates, whose disciple he became in 409 B.C., and the execution of that philosopher by the democrats in 399 B.C. was a crushing blow. He left Athens, believing that until "kings were philosophers or philosophers were kin gs" things would never go well with the world. (He traced his descent from the early kings of Athens and perhaps he had himself in mind.) For several years he visited the Greek cities of Africa and Italy, absorbing
Callippus callippus of Cyzicus. Born about 370 BC in Cyzicus, Asia Minor (now Turkey) Diedabout 310 BC. We know that callippus was a student in the School of Eudoxus. http://www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Callippus.html
Extractions: The dates given for the birth and death of Callippus of Cyzicus are guesses but he is known to have been working with Aristotle in Athens starting in 330 BC. We know that Callippus was a student in the School of Eudoxus . We also know that he made his astronomical observations on the shores of the Hellespont, which can be deduced from the observations themselves. Simplicius writes in his commentary on De caelo by Aristotle (see for example [1]):- Callippus of Cyzicus, having studied with Polemarchus, Eudoxus ' pupil, following him to Athens dwelt with Aristotle , correcting and completing, with Aristotle 's help, the discoveries of Eudoxus Callippus made accurate determinations of the lengths of the seasons and constructed a 76 year cycle comprising 940 months to harmonise the solar and lunar years which was adopted in 330 BC and used by all later astronomers. This calendar of Callippus is examined in detail by van der Waerden in [6].

Calendar -- From Eric Weisstein's World Of Astronomy Around 325 BC, callippus modified the calendar by noting that 4 19yearMetonic cycles with 940 months were very close to 27,759 days. http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/astronomy/Calendar.html
Extractions: The ancient Egyptians began numbering their years when the star Sirius rose at the same place as the Sun . The Egyptian calendar was the first solar calendar and contained 365 days. These were divided into 12 30-day months and five days of festival (Neugebauer 1969). From astronomical calculations, Sirius and the Sun coincided in 4241 and 2773 BC, so either of these could have served as Egyptian Year 1. The calendar used by the ancient Greeks was based on the Moon , and is known as the Metonic calendar. This calendar was based on the observations of Meton of Athens (ca. 440 BC ), which showed that 235 lunar months made up almost exactly 19 solar years. This 19-year cycle became known as the Metonic cycle . However, given a nominal twelve-month year, an additional lunar months needed to be added to synchronize the cycle. These were added in years 3, 5, 8, 11, 13, 16, and 19 of the cycle. Around 325 BC Callippus modified the calendar by noting that 4 19-year Metonic cycles with 940 months were very close to 27,759 days. This is called the Callipic cycle Hipparchus noted that an even more accurate cycle (now called the Hipparchic cycle ) consisted of four Callipic cycles less a day, in which

Science And Human Values - Aristotle Article introduces the life and teachings of Aristotle and identifies the contributions he made to science and ethics. He accepted the heavenly spheres of Eudoxus and callippus and even added further to them, reaching a total of 54. http://www.rit.edu/~flwstv/aristotle1.html
Extractions: Of the two great philosophers of Greece, Plato and Aristotle, the latter was the one who relied on observation. Raphael's The School of Athens shows the two great philosophers in the center of the painting, surrounded by the other great Greeks, with Plato holding his hand upright as if to indicate, "Look to the perfecti on of the heavens for truth," while Aristotle holds his arm straight out, implying "look around you at what is if you would know the truth." We shall look deeper in Aristotle's ideas below. Aristotle was born in Stagira (in northern Greece), 384 B.C. He died in Chalcis (on the Aegean island of Euboea, now Ewoia), 322 B.C. Inland from Stagira was the semi-Greek kingdom of Macedon, with which Aristotle's family was closely connected. Aristotle's father, for instance, had been court physician to the Macedonian king Amyntas II. Aristotle lost both parents while a child and was brought up by a friend of the family. He is supposed to have spoken with a lisp and to have been something of a dandy. At the age of seventeen Aristotle traveled to Athens for a college education and after Plato returned from Syracuse, the young man joined Plato's Academy, where he studied assiduously. Eventually he was to become by far the most renowned of all the pupils of Plato. Plato called him "the intelligence of the school."

Extractions: Callippus of Cyzicus (370 to 300 BCE) Callippus was taught by Ptolemarchus (a friend of Eudoxus) and at the age of 40 he left Cyzicus in Asia Minor to study with Aristotle in Athens. His only written work, "On the System of Planets", has been lost forever. http://www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Callippus.html
