There is no reliable evidence that Eudoxus, Menaechmus, Dinostratus, Theudius, and others, whom many scholars unite into the group of so-called "Academic mathematicians," ever were his pupils or close associates. Our analysis of the relevant passages (Eratosthenes' Platonicus , Sosigenes ap Catalogue of geometers History of the Academy , etc.) shows that the very tendency of portraying Plato as the architect of science goes back to the early Academy and is born out of interpretations of his dialogues.

Book V notes Book VII notes Book VIII notes Book IX notes [p. 114] It would not be easy to find a more lucid explanation of the terms element and elementary , and of the distinction between them, than is found in Proclus , who is doubtless, here as so often, quoting from Geminus. There are, says Proclus, in the whole of geometry certain leading theorems, bearing to those which follow the relation of a principle, all-pervading, and furnishing proofs of many properties. Such theorems are called by the name of elements ; and their function may be compared to that of the letters of the alphabet in relation to language, letters being indeed called by the same name in Greek (stoicheia).

A proposition equivalent to the law of cosines is included in Euclid's Elements. T F 3. Using ruler and compass it is possible to construct a regular polygon with 72 sides. T F 4. Plato encouraged the study of mathematics because he felt it was good training for future philosophers. T F 5.

Believed that a large number of seeds make up the properties of materials, that heavenly bodies are made up of the same materials as Earth and that the sun is a large, hot, glowing rock. Discovered that the moon reflected light and formulated the correct theory for the eclipses. Erroneously believed that the Earth was flat. Links: Anaxagoras of Clazomenae, MIT Anaximander (610-545 B.C.). Greek astronomer and philosopher, pupil of Thales. Introduced the apeiron (infinity). Formulated a theory of origin and evolution of life, according to which life originated in the sea from the moist element which evaporated from the sun ( On Nature ). Was the first to model the Earth according to scientific principles. According to him, the Earth was a cylinder with a north-south curvature, suspended freely in space, and the stars where attached to a sphere that rotated around Earth.

Have your doctor check you for Mesothelioma or Pleural Mesothelioma today! Asbestos is a mineral widely used in the past because of its resistance to fire and heat. Loose asbestos fibers can lodge in the surrounding tissues of the lungs and cancerous tissues can develop into Pleural Mesothelioma. The disease may be treated with drugs like Alimta or Cisplatin, but it is essential for everyone to know the symptoma and get tested for Mesothelioma Home
