Diophantus of Alexandria - ÎιÏÏανÏÎ¿Ï Î¿ ÎλεξανδÏεÏÏ - (circa - circa ) was an ancient Greek mathematician . He was known for his study of equations with variables which take on rational values and these Diophantine equations are named after him. Diophantus is sometimes known as the "father of Algebra ". He wrote a total of thirteen books on these equations. Diophantus also wrote a treatise on polygonal numbers In , while reviewing his translated copy of Diophantus' Arithmetica (pub. ca.

Fermat claimed in his note to have discovered a '"very wonderful demonstration" (demonstratio sane mirabilis) of this theorem that the margin was too narrow to contain, a claim that has tantalized mathematicians ever since. The remainder of Fermat's notes contained a large number of theorems on the theory of numbers, only one of which he himself proved; the rest were proven in the eighteenth century' (Norman catalogue). The collation of this copy agrees with Norman and several other copies recorded. However, a very few copies contain a portrait, and occasionally an errata leaf, both of which appear to have been issued later as witnessed by the number of copies in their original bindings, as this one, with no evidence of removal.

No. 833: Fermat's Last Stand Fermat read the old arithmetic text by diophantus of alexandria the part on Pythagoras s theorem The sum of the squares on legs of a right triangle http://www.uh.edu/engines/epi833.htm
Extractions: by John H. Lienhard Click here for audio of Episode 833. Today, God help us, we reach the mountaintop. The University of Houston's College of Engineering presents this series about the machines that make our civilization run, and the people whose ingenuity created them. Y ears ago, on the closing night of Pinafore , I found the contralto lead sitting on a sandbag backstage, weeping. The play was done. Her moment was finished. The problem with any mountaintop experience is, you can only come down off the mountain. The French mathematician Pierre de Fermat created one of our great intellectual mountaintops in 1637. Fermat read the old arithmetic text by Diophantus of Alexandria the part on Pythagoras's theorem: The sum of the squares on legs of a right triangle equals the square on the hypotenuse. Fermat wondered about the sum of cubes or fifth powers. Finally, he wrote in the margin that he could show it wouldn't work for any whole number power greater than two. "I've found for this a truly wonderful proof, but the margin won't hold it."

Extractions: DIOPHANTINE EQUATIONS Submitted by: MA 330-002 Dr. Carl Eberhart February 16, 1999 DIOPHANTINE EQUATIONS HISTORY: Because little is known on the life of Diophantus, historians have approximated his birth to be at about 200 AD in Alexandria, Egypt and his death at 284 AD in Alexandria as well. Diophantus married at the age of 33 and had a son who later died at 42, only 4 years before Diophantus' death at 84. He is best known for his work, Arithmetica , which contains 13 books "consisting of 130 problems giving numerical solutions to determinate equations (those with a unique solution) and indeterminate equations" (Diophantus). The method he formulated for solving later became known as Diophantine analysis. From his book, Arithmetica , only 6 of the 13 books have survived. Scholars who studied his works concluded that "Diophantus was always satisfied with a rational number and did not require a whole number" (Diophantus). He did not deal with negative solutions and only required one solution to a quadratic equation, which was what most of the Arithmetica problems led to (Diophantus). Brahmagupta was the first to give the general solution of the linear Diophantine equation ax + by = c (Boyer 221). Diophantus did not use sophisticated algebraic notation. He did, however, introduce an algebraic symbolism that used an abbreviation for the unknown he was solving for (Diophantus). He also gained fame from another book called

Extractions: Spring 2000 Alexandrian Algebra can best be viewed through the work of Diophantus of Alexandria. Diophantus of Alexandria had a great impact in the world of mathematics. He is often referred to as the father of Algebra. He produced only a few works, but their influence on mathematics was far reaching. He is known for considering only rational solutions to equations: a negative or irrational solution was considered preposterous. Moreover , he usually obtained only one such rational solution. Numerous scholars have analyzed the methods of Diophantus in detail. It is these styles and methods of solving equations that are most interesting to those who study him, and most difficult to understand, since Diophantus rarely recorded general formulas. The interpretations of his work by Nesselmann and Heath will be examined here, and we will attempt to determine which of these interpretations reflects his work more accurately. The most interesting work of Diophantus is his Arithmetica , which originally contained thirteen books, of which, unfortunately, only six survived, though Diophantus stated in the first book of Arithmetica that it would include thirteen books. Other evidence to support the assumption that additional books had in fact been written is the fact that certain propositions and concepts are left unproved and unexplained in the text as we have it. Gow notes that historians do not think that the propositions of Arithmetica are now found in the order in which they were originally written, and that essential discussions of determinate quadratic equations and indeterminate simple equations are excluded (102). Gow and Heath both refer to another work by Diophantus on Polygonal Numbers that was significantly altered from its original state, so that many proofs are now incomplete. A third work by Diophantus is called
