Extractions: by Pat Sartin Introduction Questions Web Resources ... Guide Many people claim that we live in an Information Age, where trying to learn amidst the explosion of facts and opinions is like sipping water from a fire hose. And the Internet seems to be the world's biggest fire hydrant. Still, just as we need water to survive, scholars need information to learn. Your task in this activity is to answer some key questions on the topic. The Web offers interesting facts and opinions that may not be available anywhere else, but to find the truth you may have to read between the lines. If you want an idea of how your learning will be evaluated, read this evaluation rubric . Finally, remember, this activity is about thinking and learning, not copying and pasting. How are inventions or home technology similar to today? Who has been described as the first pure mathematician?

Extractions: 10.8. Euclid (330?-275? B.C.) IRA Euclid is one of the most influential and best read mathematician of all time. His prize work, Elements , was the textbook of elementary geometry and logic up to the early twentieth century. For his work in the field, he is known as the father of geometry and is considered one of the great Greek mathematicians. Very little is known about the life of Euclid. Both the dates and places of his birth and death are unknown. It is believed that he was educated at Plato's academy in Athens and stayed there until he was invited by Ptolemy I to teach at his newly founded university in Alexandria. There, Euclid founded the school of mathematics and remained there for the rest of his life. As a teacher, he was probably one of the mentors to Archimedes Personally, all accounts of Euclid describe him as a kind, fair, patient man who quickly helped and praised the works of others. However, this did not stop him from engaging in sarcasm. One story relates that one of his students complained that he had no use for any of the mathematics he was learning. Euclid quickly called to his slave to give the boy a coin because "he must make gain out of what he learns." Another story relates that Ptolemy asked the mathematician if there was some easier way to learn geometry than by learning all the theorems. Euclid replied, "There is no royal road to geometry" and sent the king to study. Euclid's fame comes from his writings, especially his masterpiece

Extractions: The Democratic foundation established by the ancient Greeks Abstract: Our integrated project blends the subjects of math and history. Since two of our group members never bothered to show up these are the only two subjects we will be covering, with the two history majors focusing on religion and government respectively. The math portion will focus on famous Greek mathematicians. With the help of a special education major, we will alter the plan to cater to the needs of special needs students. I plan to use the week to explain how the ancient Greeks introduced a democratic form of government. This was a revolutionary form of rule in a world of dictators and tyrants. Throughout the week the class will learn about the origins of Greek democracy and its prominent figures. We will then compare and contrast the Greek form of democracy to the one used in our own government. We will also be discussing the possible reasons why democracy failed in Greece and if it seems possible for the United States to suffer the same fate. Names and Majors of the Team Members: Subjects Integrated: Objectives: Upon completion of this lesson, participating students will be able to note five key similarities between the ancient Greek democracy and the democracy of the United States.

Extractions: Stanford Report, November 6, 2002 Scholars decode ancient text, shake up pre-calculus history BY JOHN SANFORD Reviel Netz, an assistant professor of classics, might not have actually shouted "Eureka!" on a visit last year to the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, but that's what he was thinking. A scholar of Greek mathematics, Netz was hanging out with one of his colleagues and frequent collaborators, Professor Ken Saito of the Osaka Prefecture University in Japan, when they flew together to Baltimore in January 2001 to look at a recently rediscovered codex of Archimedes treatises. "It was basically just tourism," Netz recalled. On a lark they examined a theretofore unread section of The Method of Mechanical Theorems , which is the book's biggest claim to fame; no other copy of the work is known to exist. What they discovered made their jaws drop. A section from The Archimedes Palimpsest, which classics Professor Reviel Netz stumbled on during a visit to the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore. Closer examination showed the Greeks understood the concept of infinity. ROCHESTER INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, WALTERS ART MUSEUM, JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY

Symmetries And Patterns Western mathematicians, based on work dating back to the early greek mathematicians,developed ways to analyze, describe, and classify many kinds of pattern http://cs.beloit.edu/~chavey/M103/Symmetries.html
Extractions: Many cultures throughout the world, and throughout history, use various styles of pattern repetition to create artwork, or to add artistic elements to their crafts and material culture. Western mathematicians, based on work dating back to the early Greek mathematicians, developed ways to analyze, describe, and classify many kinds of pattern repetition. These techniques have been very successful in modeling (describing) the kinds of pattern repetition commonly found in Western art. Unfortunately these techniques have not been quite as successful in modeling the kinds of pattern repetition that artists and craftsmen of other cultures have embedded into their work. Western mathematicians and artists have often viewed these "non-Western" pattern types as being "non-symmetric," or at least they have failed to understand the complexity hidden within these patterns. There is something in the European cultural background that led artists and mathematicians to the same class of patterns; Greek mathematics and art was so influential on the cultural development in Europe that geometric patterns largely developed along the lines described by Greek notions of symmetry;

'Apollonius (c. 245-190 BC) was the last of the great Greek mathematicians, whose treatise on conic sections represents the final flowering of Greek mathematics' (Hutchinson's Dictionary of Scientific Biography p 16). This edition is the first printing of any work by Apollonius, preceding by 29 years the Commandino edition of 1566, also of the first four books. These were the only books to survive in the original Greek; books V-VII survived in Arabic versions only (book VIII is lost), and were translated and published in 1661 at the instigation of Borelli.

They knew how to compute areas, and even knew the "Pythagorian Theorem" 1000 years before the Greeks (see: Pythagoras's theorem in Babylonian mathematics ). But there is no evidence that they logically deduced geometric facts from basic principles. Nevertheless, they established the framework that inspired Greek geometry.
