EARLY MATHEMATICIANS The good Christian should beware of mathematicians and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that mathematicians have amde a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and confine man in the bonds of Hell." St. Augustine (354-430) HISTORY OF MATHEMATICS Timeline of the Earliest Mathematicians 1700 B.C.E. Ahmes 700 B.C.E. Baudhayana (c.700) 600 B.C.E. Thales of Mietus(c. 630-c 550) Apastamba (c.600) Anaximander of Miletus (c.610-c. 547) Pythagora of Samos (c.570-c. 490) Anaximenes of Miletus (fl.546) Cleostratus of Tenedos (c.520) Eudemus of Rhodes (the Peripatetic) (fl.c.335) Thales "Thales of Miletus was the first known Greek philosopher, scientist and mathematician. None of his writing survives so it is difficult ot determine his views and to be certain about his mathematical discoveries... Thales is credited with five theorems of elementary geometry: A circle is bisected by any diameter. The base angles of an isosceles traingle are equal. The angles between two intersecting straight lines are equal.

6. Eudemus eudemus of rhodes. Some works by Eudemus are harder to identify with Eudemusof Rhodes and may have been written by others with the same name. http://www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Eudemus.html

Eudemus of Rhodes Born: about 350 BC in Rhodes, Greece Died: about 290 BC Show birthplace location Previous (Chronologically) Next Biographies Index Previous (Alphabetically) Next Main index We should certainly credit Eudemus of Rhodes for his achievements in this archive since Eudemus seems to have been the first major historian of mathematics. Simplicius informs us that a biography of Eudemus was written by Damas, who is unknown but for this reference, but sadly no trace of this biography has been found. As exciting aspect of the history of mathematics is that the discovery of this text (and other lost texts) in the future, although highly unlikely, always remains a possibility. Eudemus was born on Rhodes and we know that he had a brother called Boethus. Of his parents and early life we know nothing, but we do know that he studied with Aristotle Aristotle spent time in Athens, Assos and other places and it would certainly be good to understand when Eudemus studied with him. Unfortunately there is no record either of time or of place which would let us answer these questions with any degree of certainty. W Jaeger, however, in his discussion of Aristotle [4] (see also [5]) has argued strongly that Eudemus studied with Aristotle during his period in Assos.

Little is known of his life but his works have had a very great influence on the development of mathematics, in particular his famous book Conics introduced terms which are familiar to us today such as parabola ellipse and hyperbola Apollonius of Perga should not be confused with other Greek scholars called Apollonius, for it was a common name. In [1] details of others with the name of Apollonius are given: Apollonius of Rhodes, born about 295 BC, a Greek poet and grammarian, a pupil of Callimachus who was a teacher of Eratosthenes ; Apollonius of Tralles, 2nd century BC, a Greek sculptor; Apollonius the Athenian, 1st century BC, a sculptor; Apollonius of Tyana, 1st century AD, a member of the society founded by Pythagoras; Apollonius Dyscolus, 2nd century AD, a Greek grammarian who was reputedly the founder of the systematic study of grammar; and Apollonius of Tyre who is a literary character. The mathematician Apollonius was born in Perga, Pamphylia which today is known as Murtina, or Murtana and is now in Antalya, Turkey. Perga was a centre of culture at this time and it was the place of worship of Queen Artemis, a nature goddess. When he was a young man Apollonius went to Alexandria where he studied under the followers of

White, University of Texas at Austin. This century has been kind to the Eudemian Ethics. Ninety years ago, many scholars ascribed the work not to Aristotle but to his colleague, Eudemus of Rhodes. But as the millenium approaches, the EE enjoys new prestige, including admission to the ranks of the OCT's (under the sponsorship of Richard Walzer and Jean Mingay), a place of distinction in the Clarendon Aristotle (only Michael Woods' translation and commentary has reached a second edition), and intense scrutiny from many quarters, philosophical and philological alike. No one has done more to encourage this revival than Anthony Kenny. Fifteen years ago, in The Aristotelian Ethics (Oxford, 1978), he ignited intense debate by challenging the age-old preeminence of the Nicomachean Ethics NE ) and claiming ancient authority for treating the EE as the definitive presentation of Aristotle's views. He continued his campaign in
