Home Ancient Greek Scientists AGRICULTURALISTS ARCHITECTS ... PHYSICISTS MATHEMATICIAN DIOPHANTUS OF ALEXANDRIA (fl. 3rd century AD) Work Diophantus is known as the father of algebra. His work represented a landmark in mathematical thinking, and was extremely influential in Renaissance Europe. He was the first to use an algebraic notation. His principal writings are: "On arithmetic": 13 books, of which 6 survive in the Greek original and 4 in an Arabic translation discovered in 1970. "On arithmetic" is a varied collection of problems involving polynomial equations with one or more variables. His solutions make use of a number of methods and calculations of powers. "On polygonal numbers": Fragments only. "Porismata": Lost. "Diophantine equations": Equations involving only addition, multiplication or exponential powers in which all the constants are natural numbers or their negatives and the only solutions of interest are natural numbers or their negatives. Named in honour of Diophantus, these were not solved systematically until the 7th century by the Hindus. 17th century French mathematician Pierre de Fermat made a thorough study of the work of Diophantus from a Latin translation. "Fermat's equation": x2- Dy2 =1 is nothing more than the equation Diophantus had formulated 14 centuries earlier.

Diophantus of Alexandria Born: about 200 in Alexandria, Egypt Died: about 284 in Alexandria, Egypt Previous (Chronologically) Next Biographies Index Previous (Alphabetically) Next Welcome page Diophantus worked during the middle of the 3rd century and is best known for his Arithmetica , a work on the theory of numbers. Little is known of Diophantus's life. The most details we have (and these may not be accurate) say that he married at the age of 33 and had a son who died at the age of 42, 4 years before Diophantus himself died aged 84. Based on this information we have given him a life span of 84 years despite having no more than a very rough guide to the dates of his birth and death. The Arithmetica is a collection of 130 problems giving numerical solutions of determinate equations (those with a unique solution), and indeterminate equations. The method for solving the latter is now known as Diophantine analysis. Only 6 of the original 13 books survive and the others must have been lost quite soon after they were written since there are many Arabic translations, for example by Abu'l-Wafa , but they only contain material from these 6 books. The most famous Latin translation is due to

The end of the third century B.C saw the end of the golden age of Greek mathematics. The new masters, the Romans, were very practical and utilitarian That is until Diophantus came around. Diophantus of Alexandria -Born: about 200? -Died: about 284? -Hellenized Babylonian -lived in Alexandria during the "Silver Age" -mathematicians were discovering many ideas that lead to our concept of today's mathematics -called the "Silver" because it came after the "Golden Age" -a time of great development in the field of mathematics -often known as the 'father of algebra' -as one stated "Algebra has many fathers" -we will call him "The Greek Father of Algebra" -some may disagree altogether since many of the methods for solving linear and quadratic equations go back to Babylonian mathematics -much debate regarding the date at which he lived and his life -we do know that he quotes the definition of a polygonal number from the work of Hypsicles - must have written this later than 150 BC -Theon of Alexandria quotes one of Diophantus's definitions -this means that Diophantus wrote no later than 350 AD -however this leaves a span of 500 years, which does not help in finding his exact dates

2 for which the equation xn + yn = zn holds true for the positive integers x, y, and z. 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). Of course since the above was written Fermat's theorem has been proved by Andrew Wiles, with the collaboration of several other mathematicians. 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.

The first edition appeared in 1612 and the two are equally rare.

The two mathematical works for which he is remembered are his first edition of the Greek text of Diophantus of Alexandria's Arithmetica, accompanied by prolix commentary in Latin (1621), and his Problems plaisans... 'Bachet' penchant for arithmetical rather than geometric problems is also obvious in the contents of [the present work]. These problems fall into several readily recognizable categories... Many of these have appeared ever since in most collections of mathematical recreations. Somehwat more sophisticated is the famous problem of the Christians and the Turks, which had previously been solved by Tartaglia. 'Of greater mathematical significance was Bachet's problem of the weights: to determine the least number of weights that would make possible the weighing of any integral number of pounds from one pound to forty pounds, inclusive... Last, there is the celebrated prototype of ferrying problems or difficult crossings, the problem of the three jealous husbands and their wives who wish to cross a river in a boat that can hold no more than two persons, in such a manner as never to leave a woman in the company of a man unless her husband is also present' (DSB).

19. Biography Of Diophantus Sv diophantus of alexandria by Kurt Vogel. Heath, Thomas L. Diophantusof Alexandria A study in the History of Greek Algebra. http://www.lib.virginia.edu/science/parshall/diophant.html

Biography of Diophantus The precise dates of the life of Diophantus, an Alexandrian Greek, are unknown. A letter written in the eleventh century makes him a contemporary of a mid-third-century bishop, so Diophantus is usually said to have flourished around A.D. 250. Of the three works Diophantus wrote, only six of the thirteen books of Arithmetica have survived; a fragment of On Polygonal Numbers is extant; and none of his Porisms exists today. A collection of epigrams known as the Greek Anthology contained among its mathematical problems a puzzle about Diophantus: God granted him to be a boy for the sixth part of his life, and adding a twelfth part to this, He clothed his cheeks with down; He lit him the light of wedlock after a seventh part, and five years after his marriage He granted him a son. Alas! late-born wretched child; after attaining the measure of half his father's life, chill Fate took him. After consoling his grief by this science of numbers for four years he ended his life. (Cohen and Drabkin, p. 27) The solution to the problem indicates that Diophantus married at age thirty-three, had a son when he was thirty-seven, and died when he was eighty-four.
