Euclid of Alexandira

Being one of the greatest philosophers of his time, Pythagoras created a society of skilled mathematicians who worked together to facilitate mathematics, showed how numbers can be independent, and proved the Pythagorean theorem, making him iconic in mathematics today. His discoveries of simple yet essential methods are prevalent today throughout many mathematical fields in which they are treasured.

Aeneas, the titular hero of Virgil’s Aeneid, is the flawed Trojan hero sent on a divine quest to found the new Troy and establish the basis for the Roman Empire. Along this journey, he is pushed to his limits both mentally and physically. This strain shows him to be a deeply Roman hero, especially in the values that come forward in his actions and response to tragedy. He embodies two major Roman values: pietas and respect for family, both past and future.

Plato was born in Athens, Greece around 427 B.C. He was always interested in politics, until he witnessed his mentor and teacher, Socrates, death. After learning of the callousness of politics, Plato changed his mind and eventually opened up The Academy, which is considered if not the first, one of the first Universities. Students at the Academy studied many different fields of science, including biological and astronomical. The students also studied many other fields, such as math. Plato developed many views that were mathematical in nature. He expressed these views through his writings. According to Dr. Calkins of Andrew University, "Timaeus is probably the most renowned of Plato's thirty-five dialogues. [In it] Plato expresses that he

Alexander the Great’s career as a ruler ended soon after it began, leaving behind a great empire that quickly broke apart after his death. The lands were divided by each of his generals, general Ptolemy acquired Egypt, which became known as Ptolemaic, general Seleucus acquired from the coast of Asia Minor to India, forming Seleucid, and general Antigonus became king of Macedonia, establishing the Antigonid.

The Greeks made several inventions, most notably in the subject of math, which are still studied today and taught in school. Mathematician Euclid is often credited as the “Father of Geometry” for all his work and studies in this subject, which are compiled in his books called The Elements. He organized known geometrical statements called theorems and logically proved all of them. He proved the theorem of Pythagoras (another Greek mathematician), which stated that the equation (c2 = a2 + b2) is true for every right triangle.

From the very beginning, what makes Oedipus ' actions in his quarrel with Teiresias and also throughout the play so dramatically compelling, is the fact that the audience knows the outcome of the story. We know Oedipus ' fate even before he does, and there is no suspense about the outcome itself, instead, the audience anxiously awaits Oedipus to reveal his fate unto himself in his desperate quest to rid his city of the terrible plague, or maybe even more so, to simply discover his own unfortunate tale. Oedipus is relentless in his pursuit of the truth, and his determination is commendable. There is nothing that compels him to act in this way, instead he freely chooses, with much zeal, to initiate the chain of events that will ultimately lead to his downfall. It is this interplay between Oedipus’ own free will and his fated eventuality that is the crux of the play, and constitutes the main dramatic power.

The Abbasids were the first ones to study and translate important Greek and Indian mathematical book like Euclid's geometry text the Elements. They adopted a very Greek approach to mathematics of formulating theorems precisely and proving them formally in Euclid's ways.

Geometry first originated as a way to solve problems in architecture and navigation. A famous figure in geometry is Euclid. Around 300 BC, he published a book, The Elements, which contained definitions, axioms, and postulates that would be regarded as a standard of mathematical reasoning for the next two thousand years (Mueller, 1969). Euclid basically gave the foundation of what is now called Euclidean geometry. However,

Hipparchus of Nicaea changed the world of Math and Science for years after his final breath. Hipparchus is considered to be the father of Trigonometry, a branch of math, and to have study the orbit of the Moon and Sun determining their size and distance from Earth. Hipparchus of Nicaea is said to be one of the greatest scientist of all times. Despite his brilliancy barely anything is known about Hipparchus or his works. The information that we have on Hipparchus is second hand accounts from him many students, the work his students produced especially Almagest by Ptolemy, and the only surviving work that is still left today, Τῶν Ἀράτου καὶ Εὐδόξου φαινομένων ἐξήγησις (Commentary on the Phaenomena of Eudoxus and Aratus).

In Ion Euripides describes a realistic plot that matches nowadays events as well. He focuses on the vicissitudes of human life that lead the characters to the brink of ruin, and that raise on top of happiness at the same time. The life full of ups and downs is depicted in the example of Creusa’s life story. In Ion there are scenes that are composed of big fear, sincere repentance, strong jealousy, and pure love of Creusa.

Archimedes was very interested in mathematics. He was very curious and tried to discover things like how many grains of sand there were in the entire universe. Later in history, Archimedes exercises helped

In Famous scientist’s (2015) article Pythagoras it states that five 3D solids were brought into existence by Pythagoras and the Pythagoreans, these items are identical on all of the sides and today they are called dice. The ranged from four sides all the way up to twenty and later Plato believed they belonged to the five Greek elements including aether (n.pag). They said “Pythagoras believed that, like everything else, music was based on whole number ratios. He also believed in its healing properties.”(n.pag) He later would learn that music was controlled by rations, like if a sting is shortened by half it raises an octave or if it’s shortened two-thirds then it moved the pit up one-fifth discovering that octaves are split into fifths not halves (n.pag). Those are the biggest discoveries of Pythagoras and the Pythagoreans, but they still has many more different discoveries. He has been accredited with a lot for being an enigma, and having written no books in his life. Even so the thoughts from learning of this brilliant mathematician tickles the mind and creates great and wonderful thoughts and ideas for many people. Learning about all of this should inspire anyone to travel and learn the ways of other countries and customs and even grasp their mathematical

     Euclid of Alexandria was born in about 325 BC. He is the most prominent mathematician of antiquity best known for his dissertation on mathematics. He was able to create “The Elements” which included the composition of many other famous mathematicians together. He began exploring math because he felt that he needed to compile certain things and fix certain postulates and theorems. His book included, many of Eudoxus’ theorems, he perfected many of Theaetetus's theorems also. Much of Euclid’s background is very vague and unknown. It is unreliable to say whether some things about him are true, there are two types of extra information stated that scientists do not know

Hypatia’s most well-known improvements to science and astronomy include her re-inventing of the hydrometer and charting of the stars. In mathematics, she is most notable for her contributions to working on different conic sections.Simply by dividing cones in different ways on a plane, she was able to develop the idea of different graphs and shapes such as parabolas, ellipses, and hyperbolas. Her understanding of the conic sections lead her to be one of the key contributors to the invention of the astrolabe as well (Morrow 1998). Christianity became extremely popular in Alexandria during the time when Hypatia lived there along with many riots breaking out. She was a pagan and known for defending science against any form of religion. She was mercilessly killed by an angry mob who accused her of religious turmoil. Although she died a horrible death of being stripped of her skin and limbs, her legacy lived and still lives. Mathematics was thriving in Athens, so that is where her students eagerly fled to. Although, many of her works that were stored in the library of Alexandria were destroyed by an Arab invasion. Hypatia is an important symbol for many generations and will always be considered to be the first woman in mathematics.

Although Euclid (or the school) may have not been first proved by him, (in fact much of his work may have been based upon earlier writings,) he did manage to insert assumptions and definitions of his own to strengthen the various postulates into the form we know today.
