    Extractions: Islamic astronomy by Owen Gingerich Scientific American , April 1986 v254 p74(10) Historians who track the development of astronomy from antiquity to the Renaissance sometimes refer to the time from the eighth through the 14th centuries as the Islamic period. During that interval most astronomical activity took place in the Middle East North Africa and Moorish Spain. While Europe languished in the Dark Ages, the torch of ancient scholarship had passed into Muslim hands. Islamic scholars kept it alight, and from them it passed to Renaissance Europe. Two circumstances fostered the growth of astronomy in Islamic lands. One was geographic proximity to the world of ancient learning, coupled with a tolerance for scholars of other creeds. In the ninth century most of the Greek scientific texts were translated into Arabic, including Ptolemy's Syntaxis , the apex of ancient astronomy. It was through these translations that the Greek works later became known in medieval Europe . (Indeed, the Syntaxis is still known primarily by its Arabic name, Almagest, meaning "the greatest.")

    Extractions: The Greeks are responsible for initial explosion of Mathematical ideas. For several centuries, Greek mathematics reign the mathematical world, with great advances in Number Theory, the Theory of Equation, and in particular Geometry. The first great Greek mathematician is Thales of Miletus (624-547 BC). He brought the knowledge of Egyptian Geometry to the Greeks and discovered several theorems in elementary Geometry. He predicted a Solar Eclipse in 585 BC and could calculate the height of a pyramid, as well as how far a ship is from land. One of his pupils, the Greek philosopher, Anaximander of Miletus (610-546 BC), is considered the founder of Astronomy. Perhaps the most prominent Greek mathematicians is Pythagoras of Samos (569-475 BC). His ideas were greatly influenced by Thales and Anaximander. His school of thought practiced great secrecy and he (and his followers, called Pythagoreans) believe everything in the world can be reduced to numbers. This idea stemmed from Pythagoras' observations in Music, Mathematics and Astronomy. E.g. Pythagoras noticed that vibrating strings produce harmonics in which the lengths of the strings are in ratios of whole numbers. In fact, he contributed greatly to the mathematical theory of music. He had the notion of Odd and Even Numbers, Triangular Numbers, Perfect Numbers, etc. In particular, he is well known today for his Pythagoras Theorem. Although this theorem is known to the Babylonians and Chinese long before Pythagoras, he seemed to be the first person to provide a proof of it.

    Extractions: While universally noted for the Pythagorean Theorem, Pythagoras left little to allow a definition of his thought. Pythagoras, a mystic, emphasized knowledge and science as a path to salvation. He and his followers studied mathematics and harmony. Plato used the number mysticism of the Pythagoreans to establish an idealistic ontology with mathematics as the prototype of reality. to Pythagoras' page After Aristotelian thought was fused and reconciled with Christian doctrine it was ironically used to impeded observational science. Scholasticism, the philosophical system developed during the 12th Century Renaissance, criticized any ideas if they had not been accepted as part of the Aristotelian corpus.

It starts with the concept of number, which is the foundation of mathematics. The book then describes how each layer of mathematical knowledge was added and how various cultures contributed to the general mathematical knowledge over the centuries. In many instances, the development of a concept took place in more than one geographical location, such as the idea of logarithms. John Napier of Scotland was the first to publish a work on logarithms, but Jobst Burgi of Switzerland developed a similar idea at about the same time. A chronological table, beginning with the origin of the sun and ending with 1980, places important mathematical developments in relation to historical world wide events.

    Extractions: Some Contributions to Euclidean Geometry Stanley Wong The Academic Setting This unit will be used at Del Norte High School in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It is designed with my Honors Geometry class in mind. Students can be freshman or sophomores. The freshman are recommended by their eighth grade Algebra I teachers if they have exhibited a strong aptitude for mathematics. Math teachers from our feeder schools (Cleveland and McKinley Middle Schools) have been briefed on these recommendations. The sophomores are those who have successfully completed Honors Algebra I as freshman or who have shown great promise in regular Algebra I and who have been recommended by their teacher. Students in Honors Geometry will study, in greater depth, the concepts, techniques, and theory of the regular geometry course. Both acceleration and enrichment are integral components of the curriculum. This is the second course in the Honors/Advanced Placement Program in Mathematics and students will earn a weighted grade in this course. (Albuquerque Public Schools 16.0)

    Extractions: After years of marching and fighting, Alexander, later to become Alexander the Great (356 BC -323 BC), finally entered Egypt in 332 BC after defeating Darius III in 333 BC. According to a myth, it is said that Alexander may have been the only natural son, not of Philip II, but of Nectanebo II (360-343 BC), the last of the native pharaohs, his mother Olympia having had an affair with him [Clayton, 1995]. Once in Egypt, he went to the Oasis of Siwa, where a priest apparently saluted him as the son of the god. Plutarch (45 AD - 125 AD) writes that the priest wished to address Alexander in Greek as “Paidion” (my child) but that the word actually came out as “Paidios” (son of Zeus). Alexander, from then on, saw himself as the son of Zeus-Amon. Soon, the great monarch planned to found a new city. His actual intentions are barely mentioned by early sources. According to tradition, the city was founded in January 331 AD [Empereur, 1998]. Plutarch mentions in Alexander’s Life that a prophet visited the king in a dream and apparently convinced Alexander of having found the right spot.

    Extractions: The Ptolemaic Legacy When Ptolemy Soter assumed power, he asked Demitrius Phalerus , a follower of Aristotle , to found a library system at Alexandria that would rival that of Athens. The Alexandrian Mouseion , however, far superseded its Greek prototype to become an intellectual and scientific institution; a university system rather than a bibliotheca. It was here, in the third century BC, that Archimedes invented the pump still in use today and known as Archimedes' screw , and, in the second century BC, that Hypsicles first divided the circle of the zodiac into 360 degrees. Ancient historians claim that the library's 500,000 book collection was so comprehensive that no manuscript was available in any library worldwide that was not available in Alexandria. Have you ever heard of Euclidean Geometry? Did you know that Euclid lived, developed his theories, and wrote Elements at the Alexandria Mouseion during the reign of Ptolemy II Philadelphus? In his Elements , Euclid provided a comprehensive analysis of geometry, proportions, and theory of numbers. His other notable contribution

Introduction Proof of Menelaus Theorem Diagram 1 In this instance, triangle ABC is cut by transversal LN, and the three segments having no common end are NC, MA, and BL. The three other segments are AN, BM, and FL. Since their products are equal, it is easy to conclude that if the product of one of the two groups of three segments becomes the numerator in a fraction with the other product as the denominator, the fraction would be equal to 1, hence the equation in the above figure. There is more than one proof of Menelaus, but the more elegant proof is the one that will be discussed in this paper. To start with, have any triangle ABC cut by transversal LN. (Refer to diagram 1) Extend BC such that it intersects with L and label the other two points of intersection M (on segment BA) and N (on segment CA.) After that, construct perpendicular segments p (A to MN), q (C to LN), and r (B to LM.) (Diagram 2) Diagram 2 It can be concluded: Therefore: 1) Triangle XMB := Triangle YMA. (AA Theorem)
