    Extractions: Trigonometric functions In the ancient times mathematicians described the relation between the angle formed by two radii of a circle and the length of the line segment determined by the endpoints of the two radii on the circle. Antien Greek mathematicians Hipparchus (166-125 BC) and about hundred years later Menelaus of Alexandria (famous for his earliest theorems on spherical trigonometry) measured the lenght of the chords in the above configuration for different angles and calculated their ratio to the circle radius. These measures of chords were in fact double values of our nowadays sine function. These calculations were published in the famous book " Almagest - Syntaxis mathematica " by Greek Ptolemy Claudius (2 nd century AD) , where tables with chord measures for angles within to 360 degrees in the 30-minute steps order appeared together with a clear description of just how the table was constructed. In the 9 th century, Arabic mathematicians started to use halfs of the presented numbers only, that means half-sections. The name "sine" appeared in the 12 th century, after a non-proper translation of the arabic word "el dzeib", which means section - intersection, but also a bay.

His other achievements include the discovery of precession , the compilation of the first star catalogue , and probably the invention of the astrolabe Claudius Ptolemaeus three centuries later depended much on Hipparchus. However, his synthesis of astronomy superseded Hipparchus's work: although Hipparchus wrote at least 14 books, only his commentary on the popular astronomical poem by

Mathematics I. Introduction Mathematics , study of relationships among quantities, magnitudes, and properties and of logical operations by which unknown quantities, magnitudes, and properties may be deduced. In the past mathematics was regarded as the science of quantity, whether of magnitudes, as in geometry, or of numbers, as in arithmetic, or the generalization of these two fields, as in algebra. Towards the middle of the 19th century mathematics came to be regarded increasingly as the science of relations, or as the science that draws necessary conclusions. This latter view encompasses mathematical or symbolic logic—the science of using symbols to provide an exact theory of logical deduction and inference based on definitions, axioms, postulates, and rules for transforming primitive elements into more complex relations and theorems. This brief survey of the history of mathematics traces the evolution of mathematical ideas and concepts, beginning in prehistory. Indeed, mathematics is nearly as old as humanity itself: evidence of a sense of geometry and interest in geometric pattern has been found in the designs of prehistoric pottery and textiles and in cave paintings. Primitive counting systems were almost certainly based on using the fingers of one or both hands, as evidenced by the predominance of the numbers 5 and 10 as the bases for most number systems today.

    Extractions: no photo available (70 A.D. - 103 A.D.) Written and Researched by Amy Bowman and Micah Christensen One of the greatest mathematicians was Menelaus. He was born about 70 A.D. in Alexandria, Egypt. Menelaus wrote many books but only Sphaerica has survived. In this book he deals with spherical triangles and their application to astronomy. He was the first to write down the definition of a sperical triangle. In Book One of Sphaerica , he set up the basics for treating spherical triangles as Euclid treated plain triangles. This marked a turning poin in the development of spherical trigonometry. Book Two applies spherical trigonometry to astronomy. Book Three deals with spherical trigonometry and includes Menelaus' theorem. This diagram shows the theorem. (See below) A point lying on a side line of a triangle, but not coinciding with a vertex of the triangle, is called a Menelaus point of the triangle for this side. Menelaus also wrote a six book treatise on chords in a circle. He also estimated that the moon moves 1 degree per century. Menelaus died in 103 A.D. It is not known what part of the world that he died in, but it is believed to be near the Middle East, possibly Egypt.

    Extractions: The Ptolemaic Legacy When Ptolemy Soter assumed power, he asked Demitrius Phalerus , a follower of Aristotle , to found a library system at Alexandria that would rival that of Athens. The Alexandrian Mouseion , however, far superseded its Greek prototype to become an intellectual and scientific institution; a university system rather than a bibliotheca. It was here, in the third century BC, that Archimedes invented the pump still in use today and known as Archimedes' screw , and, in the second century BC, that Hypsicles first divided the circle of the zodiac into 360 degrees. Ancient historians claim that the library's 500,000 book collection was so comprehensive that no manuscript was available in any library worldwide that was not available in Alexandria. Have you ever heard of Euclidean Geometry? Did you know that Euclid lived, developed his theories, and wrote Elements at the Alexandria Mouseion during the reign of Ptolemy II Philadelphus? In his Elements , Euclid provided a comprehensive analysis of geometry, proportions, and theory of numbers. His other notable contribution
