Extractions: mid fifth century B.C.E. One of the greatest geometers of antiquity, Hippocrates, started out as a merchant. Aside from being a brilliant mathematician, Aristotle said he was not a very clever merchant, since he was cheated of his money by crooked tax officials in Byzantium (some say he was robbed by pirates.) After moving to Athens around 430 B.C.E. to prosecute the offenders, he attended lectures in his leisure time and eventually became a teacher of geometry. One of Hippocrates achievements was that of the quadrature or squaring of the circle. Hippocrates also worked on the duplication of the cube and was the first to reduce the problem of doubling the cube of side a to the problem of discovering two mean proportionals b, c between a and 2a. For if a:b = b:c = c:2a then a :b = (a:b) = (a:b)(b:c)(c:2a)=a:2a and b . Hippocrates was unable to solve this proportion of finding two mean proportionals between one straight line and another line twice as long. The approach Hippocrates took to the problem simplified it from one of solid geometry to one of plane geometry. Hippocrates is said to be the first to have written an Elements of Geometry

Extractions: Hippocrates of Chios taught in Athens and worked on the classical problems of squaring the circle and duplicating the cube Iamblichus [4] writes:- One of the Pythagoreans Hippocrates lost his property, and when this misfortune befell him he was allowed to make money by teaching geometry. Heath [6] recounts two versions of this story:- One version of the story is that Hippocrates was a merchant, but lost all his property through being captured by a pirate vessel. He then came to Athens to persecute the offenders and, during a long stay, attended lectures, finally attaining such proficiency in geometry that he tried to square the circle. Heath also recounts a different version of the story as told by Aristotle ... he allowed himself to be defrauded of a large sum by custom-house officers at Byzantium, thereby proving, in Aristotle 's opinion, that, though a good geometer, he was stupid and incompetent in the business of ordinary life.

Little is known of his life but he is reported to have been an excellent geometer who, in other respects, was stupid and lacking in sense.

Extractions: Euclid , author of the most important textbook of all time, and arguably the most influential geometry text to date, the Elements (which has existed in more editions than any other work than the Bible ), flourished around 300 B.C.E. in Alexandria. Invited to open the mathematical school at the Museum and Library at Alexandria, Euclid accepted and compiled several works, some of which are still in circulation today, some of which have long vanished. Many people before Euclid were essential in his collaboration of works and ideas to create the Elements To tell the story of Euclid is in some ways to tell a story of Greek math, thus our exploration begins with Thales of Miletus (624 - 547 B.C.E.), who is the first mathematician mentioned in Eudemus of Rhodes' formal history, written around 320 B.C.E. Pythagoras (572 - 497 B.C.E.), famed for the theorem named after him, of which is probably the most interesting of all ancient mathematicians. His group of disciples, known as the Pythagoreans, believed all is number; number is the substance of all things. Hippocrates of Chios (c. 5th century B.C.E.) was one of the greatest geometers of antquity. He is credited with writing a text which is arguably contained in most of Book I of the

Title hippocrates of chios Ca. 470 BCE to 410 BCE A Pythagorean, Hippocrates ofChios spent many years in Athens studying and teaching mathematics. http://www.math.uvic.ca/courses/math415/Math415Web/greece/gmen/hippotext.html
Extractions: Hippocrates' major contribution to mathematics was his book, entitled Elements . Undoubtedly one of the influences for Euclid 's Elements , Hippocrates was the first person to compile a comprehensive book on elementary demonstrative geometry. In doing so, he helped to popularize the ideas of an axiomatic treatment of geometry, which would last until the present day. Hippocrates was also interested in squaring the circle, and in duplicating the cube. He discovered that lunes, or crescent shapes could be squared, and is suspected to be partly responsible for Eudoxus ' method of exhaustion, although this can not be proved due to the fact that Hippocrates' work has not survived.
