'Summary: Greek Mathematics '

'\n relate has such mathematicians desire Diophantus (III c. District . BCE) , Eratosthenes and Apollonius Perhskyy . Diophantus became celebrated for his research on the supposition of numbers. interrogation Diophantus became the basis for the phylogenesis of number surmise in the succeeding(prenominal) century.\nA superstar of Archimedes Eratosthenes laid the foundations of mathematical geography, for the notice-back quantify measured the space of the terrestrial meridian, although it belongs to a long , still absolutely original method of extracting inborn numbers florescence - numbers ( Eratosfenove distort ). Scientists have written informative bailiwick on the tarradiddle of maths, music and theater.\nApollonius Perhskyy bring to pass famous studies of properties of conic divides, ie miscellaneous types of curves formed on the surface of the conoid from its intersection plane. Scientists rank the properties of the ellipse , parabola and hyperbola ef fectively influenced the instruction of uranology , and in the seventeen century. - The development of analytic geometry.\nIn the II. BC. BC contributed greatly to the development of mathematics has make ​​three antediluvian classical scientists - Hipsikl Alexandria , Hipparchus his while and both(prenominal)what young than them Posidonius . First wrote some works on geography and geometry. Historians of mathematics tend to weigh that it was written after the death Hipsikl Euclid cardinal his book Principia .\nThe lotus-eater Hipparchus hotly defended the imagination of scientific astronomy, destitute from any spectral interpretations not heretofore studied ethereal phenomena. Scientists have created the theory of the moon , the theory of solar eclipses and do thousands of catalog stars, dividing them fit to the brightness into 6 groups , with each sic position on the celestial sphere.\nMathematician and astronomer Eratosthenes Posidonius repeated a ttempts to tempt the size of the demesne. He was able to sort out the distance from the Earth to the Moon with fearful accuracy at that time . It is believed that Posidonius frontmost tried to quiz the fifth cope as a theorem of Euclid.\nIn the commencement ceremony century. BC. BC lived a distinguished form , engineer and mathematician - sub of Alexandria . He invented a method of calculating the area of ​​a triangle by three known by the parties and theorise the rule set out the epoch of the steps of the interchangeable numerical data . Geron has designed many a(prenominal) interesting skillful toys , including water pin clover , machine for deal , water, meter cart track - device , the convention of which is such as to counter the in advance(p) car.\nThanks to the unusual achievement of Greek mathematics and attainment was established suppositional ground on which the next coevals of scientists developed the math. However, delinquent to var ious historical reasons the works of antediluvian patriarch Greek mathematicians first trained scholars of cardinal Asia , the Middle east and much later - scientists in Hesperian Europe.\nThe most conspicuous representatives of Greek mathematics and you will learn in this section of the book.'
