Furthermore, I have looked into the matter of the 'root-factor' scheme a bit further and found that the simple scheme N +/- root-N is also interesting as a generative set of pairs of numbers.

Abstract. Mathematician Jay Kappraff discusses a pair of tables of integers found in the Nicomachus's Introduction to Arithmetic and shows how they lead to a general theory of proportion. He shows how the system of musical proportions developed by the neo-Platonic Renaissance architects Leon Battista Alberti and Andrea Palladio, the Roman system of proportions described by Theon of Smyrna, and the Modulor of Le Corbusier are derived naturally from the Nicomachus tables.

Penta-penta need not be integral As suggested by Puzzle 8.3, the Penta class can include identities produced using nonintegral values for p and q. This observation also applies to the Penta-penta class. Typos in Method 5 There are two typos in the specification of Method 5. In the second line of step 2, the first expression should be y - q - 1 rather than z - q - 1 and the second expression should be y - x rather than z - x (These are corrected in the paperback edition.)

51. Theosophy Library Online - Great Teacher Series - ALBINUS Albinus was the contemporary of theon of smyrna, who wrote a mathematical introductionto Plato, a compilation of quotations on Platonic philosophy which http://theosophy.org/tlodocs/teachers/Albinus.htm

ALBINUS Plato's doctrine of Fate is something like this: all things, he says, are in Fate, but not everything is fated. For though Fate holds the rank of law, it does not decree that one person shall do this and another suffer that, for if it did, it would go on ad infinitum producing infinite things and infinite accidents associated with them. Moreover, there would be nothing in our power, and praise and blame as well as everything like that would vanish. Rather, Fate decrees that if a soul selects a life of this kind, and does certain acts, then certain things will follow upon the selection. The soul then is without a master, and it rests with itself to do or to refrain from an act: it is not forced to do this or that. Nonetheless, whatever follows from doing something is accomplished by Fate. For example, if a Paris carries off a Helen, he freely does so, but it follows that Greeks will war with Trojans for her sake. Didaskalikos XXVI ALBINUS The rise of Stoic philosophy, austere and admirable in its demanding way of life, but metaphysically limited from a Platonic perspective, eventually attracted the attention of the Academy. Whilst the Old Academy dealt with questions raised by Plato, the Middle Academy, marked by the election of Crates in 270 B.C., focussed on detailed responses to Stoic philosophy. This critical and even negative use of dialectic resulted in a steady drift towards scepticism, a reaction to all dogmatic schools which propounded specific doctrines. With the election of Carneades, who died in 128 B.C., the New Academy was rigidly sceptical; Carneades emphasized

"The achievements of the first six centuries of the Christian era were typical of the manner in which Greek science and natural philosophy had developed and advanced. Always the product of a small number of gifted scholars concentrated in a few centers, Greek science was a fragile enterprise, able to advance and preserve itself just so long as the intellectual environment was favorable, or at least not overtly antagonistic. Greek science at its traditional best in the Roman Empire was but a continuation of the progress already made in the physical and biological sciences of classical Greece and the Hellenistic world, when the works of Plato, Aristotle, Hipparchus, Eudoxus, Euclid, Archimedes, Appollonius of Perga, Hipparchus, Theophrastus, Herophilus, and Erastistratus established the highest levels of achievement.

Eratosthenes (c. 276 BC-c. 196 BC) Brief Biography Eratosthenes was born in Cyrene which is now in Libya in North Africa. His teachers included the scholar Lysanias of Cyrene and the philosopher Ariston of Chios who had studied under Zeno, the founder of the Stoic school of philosophy. Eratosthenes also studied under the poet and scholar Callimachus who had also been born in Cyrene. Eratosthenes then spent some years studying in Athens. Eratosthenes made a surprisingly accurate measurement of the circumference of the Earth. Details were given in his treatise On the measurement of the Earth which is now lost. However, some details of these calculations appear in works by other authors such as Cleomedes, Theon of Smyrna and Strabo . Eratosthenes compared the noon shadow at midsummer between Syene (now Aswan on the Nile in Egypt) and Alexandria. He assumed that the sun was so far away that its rays were essentially parallel, and then with a knowledge of the distance between Syene and Alexandria, he gave the length of the circumference of the Earth as 250,000 stadia. [Adapted from MacTutor Detailed Biography Eratosthenes was the second librarian of the Great Library of Alexandria, so called to distinguish it from the smaller or "daughter" library in the Serapeum, was a foundation of the first Ptolemies for the purpose of aiding the maintenance of Greek civilization in the midst of the conservative Egyptians. If the removal of Demetrius Phalereus to Alexandria, in 296-295 B.C., was connected with the organization of the library, at least the plan for this institution must have been formed under Ptolemaios Soter (died c. 284 B.C.), but the completion of the work and its connection with the Museum was achievement of his successor, Ptolemaios Philadelphos.
