Apollonius of Perga
Apollonius was a great mathematician, known by his contempories as " The
Great Geometer, " whose treatise Conics is one of the greatest scientific works
from the ancient world. Most of his other treatise were lost, although their
titles and a general indication of their contents were passed on by later
writers, especially Pappus of Alexandria.
As a youth Apollonius studied in Alexandria ( under the pupils of Euclid,
according to Pappus ) and subsequently taught at the university there. He
visited Pergamum, capital of a Hellenistic kingdom in western Anatolia, where a
university and library similar to those in Alexandria had recently been built. While at Pergamum he met Eudemus and Attaluus, and he wrote the first edition of Conics. He addressed the prefaces of the first three books of the final edition to Eudemus and the remaining volumes to Attalus, whom some scholars identify as

(Draws on the board) Let us consider the parabola. Where do we find it in nature?
Gerald Everett Jones Hypatia of Alexandria
A conic section (red curve) is the result of an intersection between a cone and a plane. Depending on the angle of intersection, the result can be a hyperbola, parabola, circle, or ellipse. It is Apollonius of Perga (Απολλώνιος ο Περγαίος ) (about 262 BC - about 190 BC), a Greek geometer, who is usually considered the inventor of the conic sections that leads to the circle, ellipse, parabola and hyperbola that are the possible trajectories of a body in a gravitational field (At least if we ignore some relativistic effects). Apollonius is known as the "Great Geometer" based on his work Conics (Conic secions) , an eight-"book" series on the subject. As he writes ..... I undertook the investigation of this subject at the request of Naucrates the geometer, at the time when he came to Alexandria and stayed with me

Apollonius of Perga (c. 262-c. 190 B.C.)
A Greek mathematician, born in Turkey, who, in his famous book Conics conic sections that, as we now know, describe the shapes of various types of orbit. Apollonius also helped found Greek mathematical astronomy. Ptolemy says in his Syntaxis that Apollonius introduced the theory of epicycles to explain the apparent motion of the planets across the sky. Although this isn’t strictly true, since the theory of epicycles was mooted earlier, Apollonius did make important contributions, including a study of the points where a planet appears stationary. He also developed the hemicyclium , a sundial with hour lines drawn on the surface of a conic section to give greater accuracy. See also Greek astronomy

Apollonius of Perga
Introduction: a unified theory of conics
The only major work of Greek geometry to survive in written form that studies the conic sections in detail is the Conics of Apollonius of Perga (262? - 190?BCE). Even so, it survives only partially. We have at present only the first seven of the eight books that Apollonius wrote. As we have seen, the conics were used by Menaechmus in dealing with the problem of the duplication of the cube in around 350BC, and we have references in other works to treatises on the conics written by Aristaeus , a contemporary of Menaechmus, and by Euclid, but these are now lost. In any event, the work by Apollonius was extremely well-received by geometers of the ancient world, so much so that it seems to have displaced all other writings in the subject. As Carl Boyer, a noted historian of mathematics, puts it, "If survival is a measure of quality, the Elements of Euclid and the Conics of Apollonius were clearly the best works in their field."
About Apollonius we know very little. He was born in

    Close Window A tribute to Apollonius (247-205 B.C.) of Perga
    "The Great Geometer"
    The birthday of Apollonius is not known. The NCB has chosen to honor him on September 22 or 23, the day of the autumnal equinox, one of two annual dates when day and night are the same length.
    Apollonius named the Conic Sections - the parabola, ellipse, and hyperbola. Moreover, he chose the ancient Greek names of "ellipse" and "hyperbola" for their meaning in relationship to the "parabola."
    For a parabola, any point on the curve is equidistant to both the focus and its directrix. He chose "ellipse" for its meaning of "falling short." Certainly we recognize one axis of an ellipse is always shorter than the other. Continuing his pattern, "hyperbola" was chosen for its meaning of "throwing beyond" where the distance from any point on the curve to one focus is always greater than the distance to its second focus.
    Though formulated in the 3rd century B.C., these curves along with the circle, are probably the most studied around the world. Only the sine and cosine, along with exponential and logarithmic functions are any competition.
    Interestingly, the corresponding literary terms are

    Maria Gaetana Agnesi
    Maria Gaetana Agnesi was born in the city of Milan on May 16, 1718. (Today Milan is part of Italy.) Agnesi was the oldest of twenty-one children. As a child she studied Latin and mathematics. Later she wrote a calculus textbook in Italian that included a curve now called the Witch of Agnesi . After her father died in 1752, Agnesi started a home for old and sick women. She spent all of her time and money working there. Agnesi died in Milan on January 9, 1799.
    Apollonius of Perga Apollonius was born in Perga around 262 BC. (Perga was a Greek city in what is now Turkey.) As a young man, Apollonius traveled to the great library at Alexandria. He also visited the city of Pergamum, which had another important library. Apollonius studied astronomy and geometry. He wrote several books, including the Conics. Apollonius died in Alexandria around 190 BC. Back to Top
    Aristotle Aristotle was born in 384 BC in the city of Stagirus in northern Greece. When he was seventeen, Aristotle traveled to Athens to study at the Academy run by the philosopher Plato. Later Aristotle became the tutor of Alexander the Great. Later Alexander helped Aristotle found his own school. Aristotle wrote books on astronomy, physics, geology, and other types of science, as well as politics and logic. Though he was not as interested in mathematics, many of his students were. Aristotle died in 322 BC in the Greek city of Chalcis, where his mother had been born.

TO YOUR MORTGAGE! var site="sm2spass" visitors since April 13th Midwiving Subjects in Shakespeare's England by Caroline Bicks, published by Ashgate Publishing (Aldershot, Hampshire / Burlington, VT), 2003. From the title, and the chapter titles, this looked totally arcane and pointless as an idea for a book, but it actually draws on a lot of interesting first-person historical documents, starting out with an account of King Louis XIII's (a long-awaited male heir) birth in 1601. Here's midwife Louise Bourgeois speaking (her 1617 "How and When the Queen Gave Birth" was itself newly translated in 2000): He asked me at every hour if the queen would soon give birth and what the infant would be. To quiet him, I said yes. He asked me again what the baby would be. I told him that it would be whatever I would like. "What," he asked, "isn't it made?" I said yes, that it was a baby, but that I could make it a boy or a girl, whichever pleased me. He said, "midwife, since it depends on you, put there the pieces of a boy."
