Essays from Our Physical World. The Man Who Knew Too Much Music Although many names of musicians are recorded in ancient sources, none played a more important role in the development of Greek musical thought than the mathematician and philosopher Pythagoras of Samos. According to legend, Pythagoras, by divine guidance, discovered the mathematical rationale of musical consonance from the weights of hammers used by smiths. The connections between the two seemingly disparate subjects of mathematics and music become obvious when studying Pythagoras' concept of the harmony of the spheres. Pythagoras believed that all relations could be reduced to number relations, making observations in music, mathematics and astronomy. Pythagoras noticed that vibrating strings produce harmonious tones when the ratios of the lengths of the strings are whole numbers, and that these ratios could be extended to other instruments.

This volume could aptly be titled 'Everything You Ever Thought You Might Like to Know about Ancient Greek Music and Then Some.' Encyclopedic in scope and completely authoritative, it is unlikely there will be a volume to equal this soon. As if this were not enough, West's style is also readable even fun, and only intimidating when one is confronted with the vast amount of scholarship required to complete this book. It strikes the reader as the work of a true aficionado, whose love of the subject transcends pedantry. Because so few actual notated musical scoresfour songs and a handful of fragmentshave survived from ancient times, it is common to assume that Greek musical tradition is essentially lost to modern analysts. West points out that this impression is the result of viewing Greek music from a the standpoint of 18th and 19th Century Western musicology. By viewing ancient Greek music as an ethnomusicologist would, he gets much farther in his analysis. Indeed, his accomplishment is a miracle of deduction and compilation. He assembles bits and pieces of material from literary sources, etymological reconstruction, ethnographic analogy, and historical analysis. Through these processes he is able to construct a comprehensive picture showing ancient Greek musical life to have been rich and varied.

Music in Ancient Times Ancient Chinese Music The Musical Arts of Ancient China Musical Qigong: Ancient Chinese Healing Art The Hurrian Hymn to Nikal Ancient Egyptian Love Songs Ancient Hebrew Music Music in Ancient Israel/Palestine Ancient Greek Music The early Greeks considered music to be of mathematical and cosmic significance as well. Pythagoras of Samos (circa 500 B.C.) discovered the frequency proportions that define the intervals we hear today. For example, two notes whose frequencies are in a ratio of 2 to 1, sound one octave apart. A ratio of 3 to 2 produces a fifth, a ratio of 4 to 3 produces a fourth, and a ratio of 9 to 8 produces a major second. Greek musicians and philosophers used a single-string instrument, known as the monochord, to produce the various intervals. Pythagorean philosophers believed that these ratios also governed the movement of celestial bodies and other cosmic matters. Thus, music came to be revered as the highest of intellectual and artistic pursuits. Music theorists of the second century A.D. such as Nicomachus of Gerasa and Claudius Ptolemy wrote extensively about the mathematical, moral, and cosmic significance of music. Ptolemy's treatise, Harmonics , is the most useful extant reference on ancient Greek music theory. Interpretations of ancient treatises have yielded common ground on the matter of rhythmic notation but much disagreement and speculation on the interpretation of pitch. The Greeks used a system of modes known as tonoi which may or may not be similar in concept to the scales we use today.

Jacques Maritain Center History of Philosophy / by William Turner CHAPTER XX NEO-PYTHAGOREANISM AND NEO-PLATONISM During the Greco-Oriental period of its history philosophy seemed to turn to the supernatural for light and assistance. While, however, Philo sought to supply this supernatural element by bringing to bear on philosophical problems the whole wealth of Jewish religious ideas, Neo-Platonism looked for supernatural light, not in any system of religion, but in such communication with the Divine as each man may, by his own individual effort, attain. Neo-Platonism was, therefore, the last effort which pagan philosophy made to save itself from dissolution. In the Neo-Platonic movement we may distinguish (1) the transition schools; (2) Neo-Platonism in its earlier form; (3) the Syrian school, (4) the school of Constantinople; (5) the Athenian school; (6) the Alexandrian school Transition Schools . The way was prepared for the Neo-Platonic movement by Neo-Pythagoreans and Pythagorizing Platonists who, before the time of Plotinus, agreed in admitting that philosophical knowledge is to be supplemented and perfected by communication with a more or less vaguely defined transcendent, divine something. The chief Neo-Pythagoreans were Figulus (45 B.C.), of whom Cicero speaks;

home ancient Greece index Apollonius of Tyana The charismatic teacher and miracle worker Apollonius lived in the first century AD. He was born in Tyana (Bor in the south of modern Turkey) and may have belonged to a branch of ancient philosophy called neo-Pythagoreanism. He received divine honors in the third century. Although the Athenian sophist (professional orator) Philostratus wrote a lengthy Life of Apollonius , hardly anything about the sage is certain. However, there are several bits and pieces of information that may help us reconstruct something of the life of this man, who was and is frequently compared to the Jewish sage and miracle worker Jesus of Nazareth. This is the fourth part of an article in nine pieces. Philostratus Life of Apollonius Local traditions Apollonius' ...

Program Highlights This year's meeting will open with an address by our 1999 Burton W. Jones Distinguished Teaching Award Recipient, Professor Bill Briggs of CU-Denver. Respected as one of the best teachers within the University of Colorado system, Professor Briggs is widely recognized for excellence in both teaching and exposition. In addition to his DTA Invited Lecture entitled "An Ideal Problem: The Mathematics of Population Genetics ", Professor Briggs has agreed to deliver a workshop entitled Quantitative Reasoning for Liberal Arts Students on Friday morning. See the abstracts on page 4 for more workshop information. Another special feature of this year's meeting will be Professor Joseph Gallian's Polya Lecture "Breaking Drivers' License Codes" on Friday afternoon. Supported by the National MAA to promote excellence in Mathematics Exposition, the Polya Lecturer Program has selected Professor Gallian as one of its two current lecturers. Hailing from the University of Minnesota, Professor Gallian holds many teaching and exposition awards, including the MAA Trevor Evans Award for Exposition, the MAA Deborah and Franklin Tepper Haimo Award for Distinguished College or University Teaching, and the MAA Allendoerfer Award for Exposition. He has authored several textbooks and numerous papers, and served as supervisor for over 70 student papers which have been accepted for publication in mainstream journals. Professor Gallian's highly entertaining talk will be especially interesting to students.

75. Corecompetencies (nicomachus of gerasa, 100 AD). There were four arts involved, two in eachof the two primary forms of being, namely the discrete and the continuous. http://www.ucalgary.ca/commons/tlc/corecompetencies.html

Core Competencies* are a set of skills and abilities to be integrated into all curricula at the University of Calgary. Students should be competent at: Critical and creative thinking. Analysis of problems. Effective oral and written communication. Gathering and organizing information. Logical calculation. Abstract reasoning and its application. Insight and intuition in generating knowledge. Interpretive and assessment skills. *Adopted by GFC on January 1997 Cornerstone Fellow Presentation Friday February 16, 2001 Berndt Brenken, Department of Mathematics bbrenken@ucalgary.ca Core Competency: Logical Calculation and Numeracy I view this as a facility with, and an ability to apply logical reasoning in various diverse contexts and types of discourse. This includes an ability to recognize and determine the presence or absence of important logical components of arguments, for example gaps, hidden assumptions, unstated hypotheses, or fallacious conclusions. It not only is an essential component of critical thinking, but can also serve as a component that drives aspects of creative thinking. Mathematics is perhaps the subject best suited to learn this, especially at elementary levels. There it is very clear that reasoning can get results that are right, and verifiably right. Mathematics increases the ability to reason, and shows its power, all at the same time.* Because of this I have decided to concentrate mainly on how mathematics is present in accessible ways to students in many different areas.

Next: Um pouco da linguagem Up: Números: estória sem fim Previous: Regras do jogo Todos os números são iguais? Número nasceu em superstição e cresceu em mistério... no passado números formavam a base da religião e filosofia. (Number was born in superstition and reared in mystery... numbers were once made the foundation of religion and philosophy.) Você tem algumas preferências em questão de números? Por exemplo, sem conhecer as suas posições no ônibus e tendo a escolha entre poltronas 7 e 11, optaria pela primeira delas? Colocaria o despertador digital mais facilmente para 6:20 do que para 6:22? Vendo no restaurante duas mesas vizinhas livres marcadas 15 e 18, sentaria na segunda? Responder ``sim'' em público pode ser hoje em dia constrangedor, pois a filosofia aceita oficialmente na nossa sociedade não apóia a afirmação que há números melhores e piores. Mas se você estudasse a aritmética 400 ou 2400 anos atrás, esta convicção permearia as páginas do seu livro-texto. Por sinal, em qualquer momento após o ano 100 A.D. até os tempos da Renascença o ``livro-texto'' seguramente significaria a ``Introdução à Aritmética'' do Nicomachus de Gerasa Lá você encontraria uma profusão de números com propriedades estranhas ou místicas. Isso não seria o caso da primeira tabela do livro; embora ela não tem destacada a numeração de linhas e colunas, estaria imediatamente identificada como a tabuada de multiplicação até 10 por 10. Mas o sucessivo arranjo tem os ares bastante misteriosos.
