Platos Theaetetus [Internet Encyclopedia Of Philosophy] theodorus lived in cyrene in the late fifth century BCE. In the dialogue, he isportrayed as a friend of Protagoras, wellaware of the Sophists teachings, http://www.iep.utm.edu/t/theatetu.htm
Extractions: Platos Theaetetus The Theaetetus is one of the middle to later dialogues of the ancient Greek philosopher Plato . Plato was Socrates student and Aristotles teacher. As in most of Platos dialogues, the main character is Socrates. In the Theaetetus , Socrates converses with Theaetetus, a boy, and Theodorus, his mathematics teacher. Although this dialogue features Platos most sustained discussion on the concept of knowledge, it fails to yield an adequate definition of knowledge, thus ending inconclusively. Despite this lack of a positive definition, the Theaetetus has been the source of endless scholarly fascination. In addition to its main emphasis on the nature of cognition, it considers a wide variety of philosophical issues: the Socratic Dialectic, Heraclitean Flux, Protagorean Relativism, rhetorical versus philosophical life, and false judgment. These issues are also discussed in other Platonic dialogues. The Theaetetus poses a special difficulty for Plato scholars trying to interpret the dialogue: in light of Platos metaphysical and epistemological commitments, expounded in earlier dialogues such as the Republic , the Forms are the only suitable objects of knowledge, and yet the Theaetetus fails explicitly to acknowledge them. Might this failure mean that Plato has lost faith in the Forms, as the

SOCRATES: Sophist, statesman, philosopher! O my dear Theodorus, do my ears truly witness that this is the estimate formed of them by the great calculator and geometrician? THEODORUS: What do you mean, Socrates? SOCRATES: I mean that you rate them all at the same value, whereas they are really separated by an interval, which no geometrical ratio can express. THEODORUS: By Ammon, the god of Cyrene, Socrates, that is a very fair hit; and shows that you have not forgotten your geometry. I will retaliate on you at some other time, but I must now ask the Stranger, who will not, I hope, tire of his goodness to us, to proceed either with the Statesman or with the Philosopher, whichever he prefers.

He is most famous for estimating the date of the creation in the Chronographia. The Chronographia is a record of history of the world from the creation to AD221. Only fragments of the Chronographia still exist today. He set the creation 5499 years before the birth of Christ and dated Christ's birth three years before the usual calculation. His estimates were adopted by most of the Eastern churches. Aghlab, Amir Ibrahim ibn

Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2003.02.16 of Art. Here too C. s interest in cyrene is discernible as he concentrateson theodorus, Callimachus, Aristippus and Eratosthenes (all of cyrene). http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/bmcr/2003/2003-02-16.html
Extractions: Considering the amount of scholarship on the hellenistic world that has been published over the last two decades, one might question the need to produce an English translation of a survey of the hellenistic world that was published originally in French twenty-two years ago. There is much, however, in Chamoux's Hellenistic Civilization that still makes reading it worthwhile. C. presents an attractive picture of the hellenistic world: one that is diverse and complex and deserves to be considered according to its own merits. His hellenistic world is one of significant continuity from the classical period, while at the same time displaying considerable innovation and vitality. It was definitely "not an age of decadence" (p. 393). The book is designed as a general survey of both the history and culture of the hellenistic world from Alexander the Great's ascension to the Macedonian throne to the death of Mark Antony and Cleopatra after the battle of Actium (336-30 B.C). Chapters 1-5 treat the history of the period chronologically as opposed to geographically, while chapters 6-10 deal with conceptual and cultural aspects of the hellenistic world such as monarchy, the city, literature, philosophy, science, and art. Necessarily there is considerable repetition between these two sections, but C. has provided cross-references. The text lacks notes, with the exception of a few random parenthetical citations to primary sources. While it is clearly designed as a survey for an undergraduate course, several problems with this English edition (discussed below) detract from its overall value, leaving any other recent survey of the hellenistic world a preferable option.
Geschiedenis Van De Wiskunde - Notaties - Tot Ongeveer 1250 Chr. theodorus van cyrene toont aan dat bepaalde vierkantswortels irrationaal zijn.Dit was al eerder bekend gemaakt, maar de schrijver is onbekend. 387 v. http://www.xs4all.nl/~wjsn/tekst/wiskunde.htm
Extractions: Het accent in dit artikel ligt op: de geschiedenis van de wiskunde en op de wiskundige "schrijftaal" - vooral op de algebra, op de algebraïsche notaties en dus op hoe men het een en ander destijds noteerde. Er is dus een duidelijke relatie aanwezig met de (geschiedenis van de) schrijftaal. Vandaar dat er waar mogelijk " pictogrammen " gebruikt worden om het een en ander weer te geven. Belicht worden onder meer de wiskundige en algebraïsche notaties vanaf 3500 voor Christus tot aan ongeveer 1250 na Christus. Er wordt een duidelijke driedeling in de tijd zichtbaar. De vroegste fase wordt veelal getypeerd als de retorische of mondelinge fase . Veel later ontstaat een werk- en schrijfwijze die kan worden omschreven als de syncopatische of syncopische fase . In deze periode ging men afkortingen van woorden gebruiken en ontstond dus voor het eerst een soort "verkorte schrijfwijze". De meest recente fase is de
