Greek Mathematician A Manual of Greek Mathematics by Thomas L. Heath, This concise but thorough history encompasses the enduring contributions of the ancient Greek mathematicians whose works form the basis of most modern mathematics. Written by a distinguished scholar and mathematician, the well-written, nontechnical text is geared toward high school, college, and graduate students, teachers, and those seeking a historical perspective on mathematics. Topics include Pythagorean arithmetic, Plato's use and philosophy of mathematics, an in-depth analysis of Euclid's "Elements," the beginnings of Greek algebra and trigonometry, and other mathematical milestones. 1931 ed.
Journey Through Genius: The Great Theorems of Mathematics by William Dunham, There is a remarkable permanence about mathematical ideas. Whereas other scientific disciplines regularly discard the old and outmoded, in mathematics new results build upon their predecessors without rendering them obsolete. The astronomical theories and medical practices of the Alexandrian Greeks, works of undisputed genius in their day, have long since become archaic curios. Yet Euclid s proof of the Pythagorean theorem, set forth in 300 B.C., has lost none of its beauty or validity with the passage of time. A theorem, correctly proved within the rigors of logic, is a theorem forever. Journey Through Genius explores some of the most significant and enduring ideas in mathematics: the great theorems, discoveries of beauty and insight that stand today as monuments to the human intellect. Writing with extraordinary clarity, wit, and enthusiasm, Professor William Dunham takes us on a fascinating journey through the intricate reasoning of these masterworks and the often turbulent lives and times of their creators. Along with the essential mathematics, Professor Dunham uniquely captures the humanity of these great mathematicians. You ll meet Archimedes of Syracuse, who pushed mathematics to frontiers that would stand some 1,500 years. Unchallenged as the greatest mathematician of antiquity, Archimedes was the stereotypically " absent minded" mathematician, capable of forgetting to eat or bathe while at work on a problem. From the sixteenth century you ll encounter Gerolamo Cardano whose mathematical accomplishments provide a fascinating counterpoint to his extraordinary misadventures. In the next century, there appeared the competitive, bickering Bernoulli brothers,who explored the arcane world of infinite series when not engaged in contentious wrangling with one another.
Diocles (mathematician) - Diocles was a Greek mathematician and geometer, who probably flourished sometime around the end of the second century and the beginning of the first century BC. He was probably the first to prove the focal property of a parabola. Sporus of Nicaea - Sporus of Nicaea was a Greek mathematician and astronomer, born: circa 240, probably Nicaea (Greek Nikaia), ancient district Bithynia, (modern-day Iznik) in province Bursa, in modern day Turkey, died: circa 300. Constantin Carathéodory - Constantin Carathéodory (Greek: Κωνσταντίνος Καραθεοδωρής) (September 13, 1873 – February 2, 1950) was a Greek mathematician of the Modern Era. He made significant contributions to the theory of functions of a real variable, the calculus of variations, and measure theory. Archimedes - Archimedes (Greek: Αρχιμηδης ) (287 BC–212 BC) was an ancient mathematician, physicist, engineer, astronomer and philosopher born in the Greek seaport colony of Syracuse. He is considered by some math historians to be one of history's greatest mathematicians, along with possibly Newton, Gauss and Euler. greekmathematicianA special section celebrates the origins and history of the Olympic games, looking toward their celebration in Athens in 2004.

The date of his birth (circa 190 BC) was calculated by Delambre, based on clues in his honour in Bithynia that bear his name and show him with a globe; this confirms the tradition that Hipparchus was born in Nicaea (Greek ), ancient district Bithynia, (modern-day znik; in province Bursa), in what today is Turkey. This is a strong tradition that he was born there.
