Pascal, Blaise Cayley, Arthur Cayley, Arthur (1821 - 1895) - Englishman born and raised in Russia for 8 years before moving back to England. He was a mathematician and lawyer. Arthur studied at at Kings College School where his gift for mathematics became apparent. Later he studdied at Trinity College from 1838-1842. He became a lawyer and quit in 1863 to be Sadleirian of Pure Mathematics at Cambridge. The most important of his work is in developing the algebra of matrices (the Cayley-Hamilton Theorem), work in non-euclidean geometry and n-dimensional geometry. (1596 - 1650) - Born in La Haye (now Descartes),Touraine, France. Due to a medical condition he was granted to permision to remain in bed until 11am, whice he did everyday of his life. He was a philosopher who was primarily interested in mathematics. He lived in Paris for a while before travelling throughout Europe to countries such as Holland where began work on his first major treatise on physics. which includes his application of algebra to geometry from which we now have Cartesian geometry.

Euclid The Elements , Books I - IV Book I Definitions Postulates and Common Notions Propositions Book II Definitions Propositions Book III Definitions Propositions Book IV Definitions Propositions Using the text of Sir Thomas Heath's translation of The Elements , I have graphically glossed Books I - IV to produce a reader friendly version of Euclid's Plane Geometry. The four books contain 115 propositions which are logically developed from five postulates and five common notions . In the first proposition, Proposition 1, Book I, Euclid shows that, using only the postulates and common notions, it is possible to construct an equilateral triangle on a given straight line. In the hundred fifteenth proposition, Proposition 16, Book IV, he shows that it is possible to inscribe a regular 15-gon in a circle. And along the way he develops many beautiful, interesting, captivating, and pleasing results. You are invited to read this part of one of the world's great books. This presentation grew out of material developed for a mathematics course, Ideas in Mathematics , offered for liberal arts students at Furman. Every interested person, ninth grade student to ninety year old retiree, should be able to read most, if not all, of the material; that is the intended audience.

Pythagoras, a Greek educated by mystics in Egypt and Babylon, founds community of men and women calling themselves mathematikoi, in southern Italy. They believe that reality is in essence mathematical. Pythagoras noted that vibrating lyre strings with harmonious notes have lengths that are proportional by a whole number. The Pythagorean theorem proves by reasoning what the Babylonians figured out by measurement 1000 years earlier. Plato, after traveling to Italy and learning about the Pythagoreans, founds his Academy in Athens, and continues to develop the idea that reality must be expressible in mathematical terms. But Athens at that time has developed a notoriously misogynist culture. Unlike his role model Pythagoras, whose school developed many women mathematikoi, Plato does not allow women to participate.

"The algorithms we chose. . .have been essential for progress in communications, health care, manufacturing, economics, weather prediction, defense, and fundamental science.

Ipsos marks a turning point in history, as it once and for all extinguished any hope of reuniting the Empire. After Ipsos, the balance of power in the Mediterannean slowly swings westward, where two emerging superpowers prepare for a cataclysmic conflict. 300 BCE Foundation of Antioch by Seleucus I Nicator Seleucus I Nicator, ruler of the vast Eastern parts of Alexander's Empire (modern Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan) founds the city of Antioch as his capital. Like Antigonus before him, Seleucus would be drawn by the dream of re-establishing Alexander's Empire, taking Syria and Cilicia in 296 BCE, and finally defeating and killing Lysimachos at Korupedion in 281 BCE, thus extending the Seleucid Kingdom throughout most of Asia Minor as well. With domination almost within his grasp, he would be murdered by a subordinate, Ptolemy Keraunos. c. 300 BCE

2. Alexandria in Egypt Alexandria was founded in 332 B.C.E. by Alexander the Great on the site of a small fishing village. The story is that Alexander himself picked the site and even took part in the planning of the city. A "mole," a mass of earth and rocks, was built out to the island of Pharos, just offshore, forming a nice harbor. The Great Lighthouse was built on the island. Alexandria soon became a major international city. Bell (51) describes it as Egypt's "principal port and greatest commercial and manufacturing city." As an example of how international the city became at its peak, he notes that "Asoka, the Buddhist emperor of India sent to the King his missionaries with their tidings of deliverance." The complex of buildings that formed the Library and Museum are of the most interest to us, for it made Alexandria one of the most important centers in the mediterranean and Near Eastern worlds for science, philosophy and scholarship. Bell (53) describes it as a combination of something like a modern academy and a university. Here were established a number of scholars, scientists, and literary men who enjoyed free board and lodging and were exempt from taxation. For their use the Ptolemies collected a vast library of books, which eventually contained something like half a million rolls. In order to enrich the collection Ptolemy III issued an order that all travellers disembarking at Alexandria must deposit any books contained in their baggage, which, if required, were taken by the Library, the owner receiving in exchange an official certified copy. It is also recorded that he borrowed from Athens the state copies of the works of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides in order to have transcripts made from them, paying as a guarantee of return the large sum of fifteen talents, but that he preferred forfeiting this sum to the return of the originals, in place of which he sent to Athens only copies.

Biography of Euclid Euclid ( PORTRAIT - 58K ) lived in Alexandria, Egypt, around 300 B.C. After receiving his education, probably at Plato's Academy in Athens, or from some of Plato's students, Euclid became a teacher and scholar at the school in Alexandria known as the Museum. While there, he wrote his most influential work, the Elements Sample page - 322K ) In this treatise, consisting of thirteen books, Euclid compiled and systematically arranged many of the major mathematical results known in his day. Beginning with a list of definitions, postulates and axioms, he proved one proposition after another, basing each proof only on those results that had preceded it. This axiomatic method, as it is known today, served as the standard for scientific argumentation for later generations. Likewise, the content of the Elements , consisting of geometry and number theory, makes up part of the core of basic mathematics even today.

76. Euclid's Elements, Euclid The most important being Pappus' (fourth century CE) comment that Apollonius(third century BCE) studied with the students of euclid at alexandria. . http://aleph0.clarku.edu/~djoyce/java/elements/Euclid.html

Euclid Little is known about Euclid's actual life. He was living in Alexandria about 300 B.C.E. based on a passage in Proclus' Commentary on the First Book of Euclid's Elements. Indeed, much of what is known or conjectured is based on what Proclus says. After mentioning two students of Plato, Proclus writes All those who have written histories bring to this point their account of the development of this science. Not long after these men came Euclid, who brought together the Elements, systematizing many of the theorems of Eudoxus, perfecting many of those of Theatetus, and putting in irrefutable demonstrable form propositions that had been rather loosely established by his predecessors. He lived in the time of Ptolemy the First, for Archimedes, who lived after the time of the first Ptolemy, mentions Euclid. It is also reported that Ptolemy once asked Euclid if there was not a shorter road to geometry that through the Elements, and Euclid replied that there was no royal road to geometry. He was therefore later than Plato's group but earlier than Eratosthenes and Archimedes, for these two men were contemporaries, as Eratosthenes somewhere says. Euclid belonged to the persuasion of Plato and was at home in this philosophy; and this is why he thought the goal of the Elements as a whole to be the construction of the so-called Platonic figures. (Proclus, ed. Friedlein, p. 68, tr. Morrow)
