Greek Mathematics and its Modern Heirs Classical Roots of the Scientific Revolution Euclid, Elements In Greek, Ninth century Euclid's "Elements," written about 300 B.C., a comprehensive treatise on geometry, proportions, and the theory of numbers, is the most long-lived of all mathematical works. This manuscript preserves an early version of the text. Shown here is Book I Proposition 47, the Pythagorean Theorem: the square on the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares on the sides. This is a famous and important theorem that receives many notes in the manuscript. Vat. gr. 190, vol. 1 fols. 38 verso - 39 recto math01 NS.01 Archimedes, Works In Latin, Translated by Jacobus Cremonensis, ca. 1458 In the early 1450's, Pope Nicholas V commissioned Jacobus de Sancto Cassiano Cremonensis to make a new translation of Archimedes with the commentaries of Eutocius. This became the standard version and was finally printed in 1544. This early and very elegant manuscript may have been in the possession of Piero della Francesca before coming to the library of the Duke of Urbino. The pages displayed here show the beginning of Archimedes' "On Conoids and Spheroids" with highly ornate, and rather curious, illumination. Urb. lat. 261 fol. 44 verso - 45 recto math02 NS.17

Mathematics Ancient Science and Its Modern Fates Until recently, historians of the Scientific Revolution of the 16th and 17th centuries treated it as a kind of rebellion against the authority of ancient books and humanist scholarship. In fact, however, it began with the revival of several tremendously important and formidably difficult works of Greek science. Scholarship supported science in this world where faith and science were not yet seen as two, irreconcilable cultures. The three ancient doors to the next rooms all have signs written on them in Greek and Latin. Luckily for you we created modern metal plates with the translations, next to the doors.

Table of Contents The Divisions The Pure and the Physical Order, Purpose, and Method Greek mathematics was premised on inductive reasoning. Whereas ancient historians sough to deduce facts from observations, the mathematicians sought to explore and discover truths working from a factual foundation. Theoretical mathematics also provided ancient philosophers with the tools of logic, which were thus employed in the pursuit of practical ends. The classical interpretation of mathematics, as well as the subdivision of the discipline into specific categories, demonstrates the Greeks' approach to the subject. The Divisions A fragment of Archytus , a Pythagorean friend and contemporary of Plato, explains the Quadrivivium , the four fields into which the Pythagoreans divided mathematics: arithmetic, geometry, sphaeric (astronomy), and music. Plato classified mathematics into the same categories, but included as a separate division stereometry three-dimensional geometry between geometry and sphaeric. (The Pythagoreans considered stereometry as subfield of geometry).

How do we know about Greek mathematics? Ancient Greek index History Topics Index Version for printing There are two separate articles in this archive: "How do we know about Greek mathematics?" and How do we know about Greek mathematicians? . There is a common belief that the question posed in this article, about Greek mathematics rather than Greek mathematicians, is easy to answer. Perhaps all we need to do to answer it is to read the mathematical treatises which the Greek mathematicians wrote. We might think, very naively, that although some of the origainal texts have been lost there should be plenty left for us to be able to gain an excellent picture of Greek mathematics. The truth, however, is not nearly so simple and we will illustrate the way that Greek mathematical texts have come down to us by looking first at perhaps the most famous example, namely Euclid 's Elements . When we read Heath's The Thirteen Books of Euclid's Elements are we reading an English translation of the words which Euclid wrote in 300 BC? In order to answer this question we need to examine the way the Elements has reached us, and, more generally, how the writings of the ancient Greek mathematicians have been preserved.

Next: About this document The Origins of Greek Mathematics Though the Greeks certainly borrowed from other civilizations, they built a culture and civilization on their own which is The most impressive of all civilizations, The most influential in Western culture, The most decisive in founding mathematics as we know it. Basic facts about the origin of Greek civilization and its mathematics. The best estimate is that the Greek civilization dates back to 2800 B.C. just about the time of the construction of the great pyramids in Egypt. The Greeks settled in Asia Minor, possibly their original home, in the area of modern Greece, and in southern Italy, Sicily, Crete, Rhodes, Delos, and North Africa. About 775 B.C. they changed from a hieroglyphic writing to the Phoenician alphabet. This allowed them to become more literate, or at least more facile in their ability to express conceptual thought. The ancient Greek civilization lasted until about 600 B.C. The Egyptian and Babylonian influence was greatest in Miletus, a city of Ionia in Asia Minor and the birthplace of Greek philosophy, mathematics and science. From the viewpoint of its mathematics, it is best to distinguish between the two periods: the

Ancient Greek Mathematics Ancient Greek scholars were the first people to explore pure mathematics, apart form practical problems. The Greeks made important advances by introducing the concept of logical deduction and proof in order to create a systematic theory of mathematics. The Ancient Greeks had a tremendous effects on modern mathematics. Much that was written by the mathematicians Euclid and Archimedes has been preserved. Euclid is known for his `Elements', much of which was drawn from his predecessor Eudoxus of Cnidus. The `Elements' is a treatise on geometry, and it has exerted a continuing influence on mathematics. From Archimedes several treatises have come down to the present. Among them are `Measurement of the Circle', in which he worked out the value of pi; `Method Concerning Mechanical Theorems', on his work in mechanics; `The Sand-Reckoner'; and `On Floating Bodies'. Platonic Solids - Plato. The physician Galen, in the history of ancient science, is the most significant person in medicine after Hippocrates, who laid the foundation of medicine in the 5th century BC . Galen lived during the 2nd century AD. He was a careful student of anatomy, and his works exerted a powerful influence on medicine for the next 1,400 years.
