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.
Euclid - Introductory Comments By Proclus After him Anaxagoras of Clazomenae applied himself to many questions in geometry,and so did oenopides of chios, who was a little younger than Anaxagoras. http://www.headmap.com/book/mm/people/proclus.htm
Extractions: Euclid - Introductory Comments by Proclus Proclus's summary Thales, who had travelled to Egypt, was the first to introduce this science into Greece. He made many discoveries himself and taught the principles for many others to his successors, attacking some problems in a general way and others more empirically. Next after him Mamercus, brother of the poet Stesichorus, is remembered as having applied himself to the study of geometry; and Hippias of Elis records that he acquired a reputation in it. Following upon these men, Pythagoras transformed mathematical philosophy into a scheme of liberal education, surveying its principles from the highest downwards and investigating its theorems in an immaterial and intellectual manner. He it was who discovered the doctrine of proportionals and the structure of the cosmic figures. After him Anaxagoras of Clazomenae applied himself to many questions in geometry, and so did Oenopides of Chios, who was a little younger than Anaxagoras. Both these men are mentioned by Plato in the Erastae as having got a reputation in mathematics. Following them Hippocrates of Chios, who invented the method of squaring lunules, and Theodorus of Cyrene became eminent in geometry. For Hippocrates wrote a book on elements, the first of whom we have any record who did so.

Extractions: Pythagoras and the Pythagoreans: Passages in the Doxographists [Page 132] Pythagoras, son of Mnesarchos, a native of Samos, left his fatherland to escape the tyranny of Polykrates (533/2 or 529/8 B.C.). He made his home for many years in Kroton in southern Italy, where his political views gained control in the city. At length he and his followers were banished by an opposing party, and he died at Metapontum. Many stories are told of his travels into Egypt and more widely, but there is no evidence on which the stories can be accepted. He was a mystic thinker and religious reformer quite as much as a philosopher, but there is no reason for denying that the doctrines of the school originated with him. Of his disciples, Archytas, in southern Italy, and Philolaos and Lysis, at Thebes, are the best known. It is the doctrine of the school, not the teaching of Pythagoras himself, which is known to us through the writings of Aristotle.

Extractions: Astrónomo Autodidacta. Nació en la isla de Chios hacia el 490 a.C. y murió hacia el 420 a.C. Se cree que vivió en Atenas. Oenopides estudio la eclíptica y encontró un valor de inclinación sobre el Ecuador celeste de 24º el cual fue aceptado en Grecia hasta los estudios mas precisos de Eratóstenes , otros autores sin embargo, no aceptan que Oenopides haya estudiado la eclíptica. Otra contribución de Oenopides a la matemática astronómica fue el descubrimiento del periodo del gran año (periodo después del cual los movimientos de la luna y el Sol vuelven a repetirse), Dando un valor de 59 años. Estos resultados llevaron a un mes lunar de 29.53013 días el cual es sorprendentemente cercano al valor moderno de 29.53059 días. Este último cálculo, sin embargo, aunque probablemente basado en los 59 años del gran año de Oenopides pudo haber sido realizado posteriormente por otras personas. Proclus atribuye dos teoremas que aparecen en los Elementos de Euclides como de Oenopides. Desarrolló una teoría para medir los flujos del Nilo, sugirió que el calor acumulado en la tierra durante el invierno seca la tierra debajo del río y este se seca. En el verano el calor desaparece y el agua nuevamente fluye al río y este crece. Otras pistas sobre la filosofía de Oenopides dice que que el creía que el fuego y el aire son los elementos básicos y pensaba en la tierra como un ser viviente siendo Dios su alma.

Extractions: In Pursuit of George G. M. James' Study of African Origins in "Western Civilization" By Yosef A. A. ben-Jochannan JAMES REVIVED Count C.F. Volney, an eighteenth century C.E. French academician of the highest esteem in European academic circles, wrote the following in his major work Ruins of Empire , page xvii, for all the racists who denied the indigenous African origin of the ancient Egyptians to read: THERE A PEOPLE NOW FORGOTTEN DISCOVERED WHILE OTHER WERE YET BARBARIANS, THE ELEMENTS OF THE ARTS AND SCIENCES. A RACE OF MEN NOW REJECTED FOR THEIR BLACK SKIN and WOOLY HAIR FOUNDED ON THE STUDY OF THE LAWS OF NATURE THOSE CIVIL AND RELIGIOUS SYSTEMS WHICH STILL GOVERN THE UNIVERSE. Isn't it rather interesting that today BLACK has become "SABLE," and WOOLLY turned "FRIZZLED" in the quotation! BLACK and WOOLLY are stated in the original edition; whereas Volney's successors found it necessary to change them in a later edition to "SABLE" and "FRIZZLED," etc. This, unfortunately, has been too long typical of " Western Scholarship Previous to the publication of Volney's Ruins of Empire the following appeared in the Sixth Century C.E.

Extractions: [p. 29] It is well known that the commentary of Proclus on Eucl. Book I. is one of the two main sources of information as to the history of Greek geometry which we possess, the other being the Collection of Pappus. They are the more precious because the original works of the forerunners of Euclid, Archimedes and Apollonius are lost, having probably been discarded and forgotten almost immediately after the appearance of the masterpieces of that great trio. Proclus himself lived 410-485 A.D., so that there had already passed a sufficient amount of time for the tradition relating to the pre-Euclidean geometers to become obscure and defective. In this connexion a passage is quoted from Simplicius who, in his account of the quadrature of certain lunes by Hippocrates of Chios, while mentioning two authorities for his statements, Alexander Aphrodisiensis (about 220 A.D.) and Eudemus, says in one place , âAs regards Hippocrates of Chios we must pay more attention to Eudemus

Extractions: not complete Agatharchos. Greek mathematician. Discovered the laws of perspectives. Anaxagoras of Clazomenae (480-430 B.C.). Greek philosopher. Believed that a large number of seeds make up the properties of materials, that heavenly bodies are made up of the same materials as Earth and that the sun is a large, hot, glowing rock. Discovered that the moon reflected light and formulated the correct theory for the eclipses. Erroneously believed that the Earth was flat. Links: Anaxagoras of Clazomenae, MIT Anaximander (610-545 B.C.). Greek astronomer and philosopher, pupil of Thales. Introduced the apeiron (infinity). Formulated a theory of origin and evolution of life, according to which life originated in the sea from the moist element which evaporated from the sun ( On Nature ). Was the first to model the Earth according to scientific principles. According to him, the Earth was a cylinder with a north-south curvature, suspended freely in space, and the stars where attached to a sphere that rotated around Earth.
