    Ancient Greek Mathematics Ancient Greek mathematics achieve the full flower of intellectual development on an equal par with modern levels. The brought the full flower of geometry as an axiomatic system. They also seem to have created the basis of logical argument and the axiomatic method. Probably there is no other epoch of human civilization where evidence of such fundamental and sweeping changes in though have occurred. Many of the results from Greek mathematics are advanced mathematical topics still today. As well, most mathematicians haven't a glimmer of its depth. While everyone has heard of Euclid, few know that the famous Elements was a compendium of plane geometry, number theory, and solid geometry. From this work of thirteen book, just the first two are studied in high school. As you will see the theoretical content is remarkable, exceeded perhaps only by mathematical technique as achieved by Archimedes and Apollonius.

    GREEK MATHEMATICIANS
    The ancient Greeks were very interested in scientific thought. They were not satisfied with just knowing the facts; they wanted to know the why and how. It should be no surprise that the Greeks were extremely successful in the area of mathematics. The mathematics we use today, and its content, are for the most part Greek. The Greeks laid down the first principles, and invented methods for solving problems. Though most people don't realize it, mathematics is a Greek science - regardless of what modern day analysis might bring. When people look back on Greek genius, they may naturally call to mind masterpieces in Greek literature and art . But the Greeks, with their insatiable desire to know the true meaning of everything and give a rational explanation of it, were irresistibly drawn to the sciences, exact reasoning in general, and logic. There are many famous Greek names in mathematics. One of which is Aristotle , who said he could conceive of nothing more beautiful than the objects of mathematics. Plato , delighted in geometry and the wonders of numbers, inscribed, "let no one destitute of geometry enter my doors" over the entrance to his academy.

    That is "Elements" of Euclid, "The Theory of conic sections " of Apollonius, "Arithmetica" of Diophantus and many reserch achivements of Archimedes. Many scholar represented as Aristotle. Plato focused only philosophy and mathematics.
    The story, Plato wrote "NO one knows Geometry, No admission" at the enterance to a hall, is famous.
    Euclid is known affected by Aristotle and plato. His "Elements" is the first arranged and systematized book logically and had been used as a textbook toward the end of the 1800's in Europe.

      GREEK MATHEMATICS
      Ancient Greek Herodianic numerals
      As the Greek empire began to spread its sphere of influence into Asia Minor, Mesopotamia and beyond, the Greeks were smart enough to adopt and adapt useful elements from the societies they conquered. This was as true of their mathematics as anything else, and they adopted elements of mathematics from both the Babylonians and the Egyptians . But they soon started to make important contributions in their own right and, for the first time, we can acknowledge contributions by individuals. By the Hellenistic period , the Greeks had presided over one of the most dramatic and important revolutions in mathematical thought of all time. The ancient Greek numeral system, known as Attic or Herodianic numerals, was fully developed by about 450 BC, and in regular use possibly as early as the 7th Century BC. It was a base 10 system similar to the earlier Egyptian one (and even more similar to the later Roman system), with symbols for 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500 and 1,000 repeated as many times needed to represent the desired number. Addition was done by totalling separately the symbols (1s, 10s, 100s, etc) in the numbers to be added, and multiplication was a laborious process based on successive doublings (division was based on the inverse of this process).

    Classical Greek mathematics refers to the mathematics studied before the Hellenistic period , when Greek mathematics was mostly limited to the Greek city-states in ancient Greece Asia Minor Libya , and Sicily
    Greek mathematics studied from the time of the Hellenistic period onwards (from 323 BC ) refers to all mathematics of those who wrote in the Greek language , since Greek mathematics was now not only written by Greeks but also non-Greek scholars throughout the Hellenistic world, which was spread across the Eastern end of the Mediterranean . Greek mathematics from this point merged with Egyptian and Babylonian mathematics to give rise to the latter phase of Greek mathematics known as Hellenistic mathematics . The most important centre of learning during this period was Alexandria in Egypt , which attracted scholars from across the Hellenistic world, including mostly Greek and Egyptian scholars, as well as

    History Of Greek Mathematics
    The Greeks view mathematics as a very important aspect of life, education and view it as a necessary tool to help assist in the forward progress of technology. To show how the Greeks view the concept of mathematics, dissect the word. The word mathema is a noun from the verb manthano meaning a subject connected with learning. When broken down into its two main branches, arithmetic and geometry , which mean respectively study of numbers and the measuring of the earth. The name algebra itself is Arabic , though the Greek mathematician Diophantus developed it in some depth. Mathematics were viewed as a very important skill that must be learned in order to function properly in society, although in this day in age it has seemed to fall to a lower level.
    Philosophers of the Ionian school are considered to be the first Greeks to study mathematics in great detail. These Greek philosophers date back to the sixth and fifth centuries B.C. Questions were asked about the earth and the universe and mathematics were extensively used to try to answer these questions. It is said that Thales, the founder of the schoo
    with solid geometry. These pieces of work remained standard in schools until recent times.

    m n . Specifically, 3 + 1. These results were also noted by the Greeks, and set down in tabular form as follows:
    After staring at this pattern of numbers for a while, the pattern emerges: 3 + 2 = 5 and 7 + 5 = 12, so the number in the right-hand column, after the first row, is the sum of the two numbers in the row above. Furthermore, 2 + 5 = 7 and 5 + 12 = 17, so the number in the left-hand column is the sum of the number to its right and the number immediately above that one. The question is: does this pattern continue? To find out, we use it to find the next pair. The right hand number should be 17 + 12 = 29, the left-hand 29 + 12 = 41. Now 41 = 1681, and 29 = 841, so 41 - 1. Repeating the process gives 41 + 29 = 70 and 70 + 29 = 99. It is easy to check that 99 + 1. So 99 . In other words, the difference between the square root of 2 and the rational number 99/70 is approximately of the magnitude 1/70 . (You can check this with your calculator).

Ancient Greece made great strides in the areas of art, philosophy, and politics, and its civilization lasted from approximately 2000 BC to 300 BC. Greece also produced some of the finest mathematical minds that ever pondered numbers. The Greeks were the first people of the ancient world who systematically studied geometry, which is the study of the size and shape of an object. While the first surveyors of Egypt understood practical elements of geometry, the Greeks asked why these applications worked. The Greeks wrote down rules for geometry that verified the observations of other ancient mathematicians.
