Apollonius of Perga From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Apollonius of Perga or Perge (ca. 262 BC - ca. 190 BC ) was a Greek geometer and astronomer , noted for his writings on conic sections . It was Apollonius who gave the ellipse , the parabola , and the hyperbola the names by which we know them. The hypothesis of eccentric orbits , or equivalently, deferent and epicycles , to explain the apparent motion of the planets and the varying speed of the Moon , are also attributed to him. Only two of his works survive: Cutting-of a Ratio (two books preserved in an Arabic translation) Conics (four books preserved in the original Greek, three in Arabic and one lost). His innovative methodology and terminology, especially in the field of conics, influenced many later scholars including Ptolemy Isaac Newton and Ren© Descartes edit See also Descartes' theorem edit External links Biography at the MacTutor archive This biographical article about a mathematician is a stub .

Apollonius, of Perga (c. 245-c. 190 BC) Greek mathematician, called 'the Great Geometer'. In his work Conica/The Conics he showed that a plane intersecting a cone will generate an ellipse, a parabola, or a hyperbola, depending on the angle of intersection. In astronomy, he used a system of circles called epicycles and deferents to explain the motion of the planets; this system, as refined by Ptolemy , was used until the Renaissance. It is thought that Apollonius may have studied at the school established by Euclid at Alexandria, especially since much of his work was built on Euclidean foundations. Of his eight-volume treatise Conica, seven volumes are extant. The first four books consisted of an introduction and a statement of the state of mathematics provided by his predecessors. In the last four volumes Apollonius put forth his own important work on conic sections, the foundation of much of the geometry still used today in astronomy, ballistic science, and rocketry
