Some Greek mathematicians

Alonzo Walker September 27, 2022 Education Leave a Comment

When it comes to maths, everything has to start somewhere. The Ancient Greeks were some of the first people to begin to question the world around them. They also thought it would be a good idea to document as well. One of the reasons we know so much about them is that they wrote something down about what they’d discovered. Science, maths, philosophy and medicine were all advanced hugely by the Greeks, and they shape our thinking even today. Mathematics is a significant contribution, and It’s one of the reasons why Bookkeepers Hereford based company https://office-support.co.uk exists. Here are some of the best-known.

  1. Pythagoras. Known for his discovery that “in a right-angled triangle the square of the hypotenuse is equal [to the sum of] the squares of the two other sides,” there is some speculation that he had any genuine interest in maths at all. He declared ten the perfect number and wouldn’t let his students gather in numbers greater than that. He also had a “golden thigh” that he showed off at the Olympic Games.
  2. Callippus. Without the work of Callippus we’d still think the Sun went round the Earth. He calculated the path of the planets including Earth and wasn’t too far off. He was able to map out the solstices and equinox of the seasons.

  1. Geminus. Ever heard of Applied and pure maths? We can thank Geminus for the terms. He theorised that Maths was divided into two parts. This was the stuff you do in your head and then the practical things like how to measure out a wall or do your shopping bill by adding up the numbers.
