We know practically nothing of his life except that Pappus refers to him as Aristaeus the Elder which presumably means that Pappus was aware of another later mathematician also named Aristaeus. We have no record of such a person but we do point out below a possible confusion which may result from there being two mathematicians called Aristaeus. Pappus gave Aristaeus great credit for a work entitled Five Books concerning Solid Loci which was used by Pappus but has now been lost. 'Solid loci' is the Greek name for conic sections so it is rather confusing that there is another reference by a later writer to a work by Aristaeus called Five Books concerning Conic Sections . However these two works are now thought to be the same. Pappus describes the work as:- ... five books of Solid Loci connected with the conics. and also claims (if this is not a latter addition to the text) that Euclid compiled elementary results on conics in his treatise Conics while Aristaeus's results, much deeper, original and specialised, were not included by

He succeeded Eudoxus of Cnidus as the head of his school in Cyrene, and worked closely with Euclid and Apollonius on a treatise entitled "Analysis of Locus", a method of geometry for advanced students, now lost. Work His main writings are: "Geometric loci" "Elements of conic sections": 5 books. "On regular solids ": Unlike Apollonius of Perga, Aristaeus considered the three conics as sections of acute-angled, right-angled and obtuse-angled cones perpendicular to the generatrix. Lost. "On the five regular solids": Proved that the pentagon of a dodecahedron is inscribed in the same circle as the triangle of an icosahedron inscribed in the same sphere. Lost. "Solid loci": 5 books. This treatise is considered more important than Euclid's work of the same name. "On geometrical loci with respect to three and four lines". Contact the Science Center and Technology Museum
