A two-minute animated adventure to Ancient Greece and back again - voiced by Numberphile's James Grime!
Often called the "birthplace of civilisation", Ancient Greece heralded numerous advances in philosophy, science, sport and also mathematics. Over six centuries from 600 BC a group of revolutionary thinkers -- from Thales, Pythagoras, Democritus and Aristotle to Euclid, Archimedes and Hypatia of Alexandria -- formalised the rules and language of modern mathematics.
For Greek thinkers, maths wasn't simply a means of calculating amounts but a way of testing reality and understanding the true nature of the world around them. Indeed, Pythagoras is believed to have coined both the words "philosophy" ("love of wisdom") and "mathematics" ("that which is learned"). In turn, Euclid came to be known as the "father of geometry".
At the heart of this new understanding, was the concept of "the proof", developed by Euclid in what is commonly regarded as the most important and successful mathematical textbook of all time -- the "Stoicheion" or "Elements". Built upon the axiomatic method, mathematical proofs were a way of testing assumptions by building up a mathematical argument using self-evident or assumed statements (or, "axioms").
It is this methodology that formed the foundational language and logic of modern mathematics throughout the world. Indeed, Euclid's Elements was widely used as the seminal maths textbook right up until the start of the twentieth century.

10. Pythagoras of Samos 570BC-495BC - Pythagoras of Samos was an Ionian Greek mathematician, philosopher, and founder of the Pythagoreanism. He is often cherished as a great mystic, mathematician, and scientist, but he is renowned for the Pythagorean Theorem that carries his name. According to Aristotle the Pythagorean group was one of the first that widely studied advance mathematics.
9. Leonardo Pisano Blgollo 1170-1250 - Leonardo Pisano Blgollo also known as Fibonacci was an Italian mathematician who is considered by some people as the most talented mathematician of the middle Ages. He is renowned for introducing Fibonacci Series and the Arabic numbering system in Europe. There are many other mathematical concepts that are named after Fibonacci.
8. Wilhelm Leibniz 1646-1716 - Wilhelm Leibniz was a German philosopher and mathematician that occupies a distinct place in the history of Philosophy and history of mathematics. First started his career as lawyer later become fascinated towards philosophy and then towards science because of his interest.
7. Isaac Newton 1642-1727 - Isaac Newton was an English mathematician and physicist and is widely known as the one of the most inspiring scientists of all the time and is a role of model in the scientific revolution. Newton also made significant contribution to optics and formulated three laws of motion and law of gravitation. Along with Gottfried Leibniz he invented the infinitesimal calculus. His work helped in advancing every branch of mathematics.
6. Alan Turing 1912 – 1954 - Alan Turing was a British mathematician, cryptanalyst, logician and computer scientist. He is known as the Father of artificial intelligence and computer sciences because of his intelligence and influential work in the field of computer sciences. He explained the concepts of “computation” and “algorithm” with the help of turning machine which was considered a model representing computer.
5. René Descartes 1596-1650 - René Descartes was a French philosopher, writer and mathematician and physicist. He was named as the ‘Father of Modern Philosophy’ as a response to his writings. His contribution in mathematics is equally seen, one of his most lasting contribution is Cartesian coordinate system or analytical geometry. He invented the method of representing the unknowns in the equations by x, y and z or in the form of a, b and c.
4. Euclid - Euclid of Alexandria, was a great Greek mathematician who is often mentioned as the “Father of Geometry”. He is very famous for his magnum opus; Elements that is one of the inspirational contribution to the field and is being used as the major textbook from the time of its issuance until the late 19th or early 20th century to teach mathematics.
3. Bernhard Riemann 1826 – 1866 - Bernhard Riemann was a German scientist who was born in a poor family but became an influential mathematician. He made a lot of contributions in number theory, differential geometry and analysis and there are a number of theorems that bear his name like Riemannian Geometry, Riemann–Liouville differintegral, Riemann Integral and the Riemannian Surfaces.
2. Carl Friedrich Gauss 1777 – 1855 - Carl Friedrich Gauss was a German mathematician and a physicist who is also known as “the Prince of Mathematicians” and had great contribution in various fields like algebra, number theory, analysis, statistics, geophysics, differential geometry, optics, electrostatics and astronomy. He had extraordinary mental capability and made his first discovery while he was a teenager.
1. Leonhard Euler 1707 – 1783 - Leonhard Euler was a Swiss mathematician and physicist. Euler is known as the outstanding mathematician of eighteenths century and an interesting, the most prolific and great mathematician of all the time, with beauty in his theorems and concept he had done extraordinary work. He made great discoveries in this specialty as distinct as infinitesimal calculus, geometry, algebra, trigonometry and graph theory.

We discuss primarily the work of Eudoxus and Archimedes, the founders of calculus. Archimedes in particular discovered formulas that are only found in advanced calculus courses, concerning the relations between the volumes and surface areas of a sphere and a circumscribing cylinder. We also discuss his work on the area of a parabolic arc, Heron's formula (improved using ideas of Rational Trigonometry), hydrostatics, and the Principle of the Lever. He was a true genius.

Professor Alan Davies presents a series of groundbreaking experiments pioneered by the Ancient Greeks. Often called the "birthplace of civilisation", Ancient Greece heralded numerous advances in philosophy, science, engineering and mathematics which have shaped our understanding of the modern world.
Assisted by Ri demo technician, Andy Marmery, Professor Davies demonstrates the key discoveries and experiments of many Greek thinkers -- from Thales and Pythagoras to Euclid, Archimedes and Hypatia of Alexandria.
This video was created as part of the Greek Legacy series of events, generously supported by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (http://www.snf.org).
The conference for sixth form students, held on Friday 6th March 2014, was a day of interaction and discovery - from exploring the astrolabe and the steam engine to exclaiming "Eureka!" and asking "How did they do that?". Alongside Professor Davies' demonstrations, talks were presented on Euclid and Hypatia. The audience discovered how the Greek Philosophers established the foundation of modern mathematics through the concept of proof, and students from Imperial College presented Greeks: The Musical!
Plus, there was the first ever public-screening of the Ri animation, The Greek Legacy.

Greek mathematics
Greek mathematics, as that term is used in this article, is the mathematics written in Greek, developed from the 7th century BC to the 4th century AD around the shores of the Eastern Mediterranean. Greek mathematicians lived in cities spread over the entire Eastern Mediterranean, from Italy to North Africa, but were united by culture and language. Greek mathematics of the period following Alexander the Great is sometimes called Hellenistic mathematics. The word "mathematics" itself derives from the ancient Greek μάθημα (mathema), meaning "subject of instruction". The study of mathematics for its own sake and the use of generalized mathematical theories and proofs is the key difference between Greek mathematics and those of preceding civilizations.
Origins of Greek mathematics
The origins of Greek mathematics are not easily documented. The earliest advanced civilizations in the country of Greece and in Europe were the Minoan and later Mycenean civilization, both of which flourished during the 2nd millennium BC. While these civilizations possessed writing and were capable of advanced engineering, including four-story palaces with drainage and beehive tombs, they left behind no mathematical documents.

It is this methodology that formed the foundational language and logic of modern mathematics throughout the world. Indeed, Euclid's Elements was widely used as the seminal maths textbook right up until the start of the twentieth century.

10. Pythagoras of Samos 570BC-495BC - Pythagoras of Samos was an Ionian Greek mathematician, philosopher, and founder of the Pythagoreanism. He is often cherished as a great mystic, mathematician, and scientist, but he is renowned for the Pythagorean Theorem that carries his name. According to Aristotle the Pythagorean group was one of the first that widely studied advance mathematics.
9. Leonardo Pisano Blgollo 1170-1250 - Leonardo Pisano Blgollo also known as Fibonacci was an Italian mathematician who is considered by some people as the most talented mathematician of the middle Ages. He is renowned for introducing Fibonacci Series and the Arabic numbering system in Europe. There are many other mathematical concepts that are named after Fibonacci.
8. Wilhelm Leibniz 1646-1716 - Wilhelm Leibniz was a German philosopher and mathematician that occupies a distinct place in the history of Philosophy and history of mathematics. First started his career as lawyer later become fascinated towards philosophy and then towards science because of his interest.
7. Isaac Newton 1642-1727 - Isaac Newton was an English mathematician and physicist and is widely known as the one of the most inspiring scientists of all the time and is a role of model in the scientific revolution. Newton also made significant contribution to optics and formulated three laws of motion and law of gravitation. Along with Gottfried Leibniz he invented the infinitesimal calculus. His work helped in advancing every branch of mathematics.
6. Alan Turing 1912 – 1954 - Alan Turing was a British mathematician, cryptanalyst, logician and computer scientist. He is known as the Father of artificial intelligence and computer sciences because of his intelligence and influential work in the field of computer sciences. He explained the concepts of “computation” and “algorithm” with the help of turning machine which was considered a model representing computer.
5. René Descartes 1596-1650 - René Descartes was a French philosopher, writer and mathematician and physicist. He was named as the ‘Father of Modern Philosophy’ as a response to his writings. His contribution in mathematics is equally seen, one of his most lasting contribution is Cartesian coordinate system or analytical geometry. He invented the method of representing the unknowns in the equations by x, y and z or in the form of a, b and c.
4. Euclid - Euclid of Alexandria, was a great Greek mathematician who is often mentioned as the “Father of Geometry”. He is very famous for his magnum opus; Elements that is one of the inspirational contribution to the field and is being used as the major textbook from the time of its issuance until the late 19th or early 20th century to teach mathematics.
3. Bernhard Riemann 1826 – 1866 - Bernhard Riemann was a German scientist who was born in a poor family but became an influential mathematician. He made a lot of contributions in number theory, differential geometry and analysis and there are a number of theorems that bear his name like Riemannian Geometry, Riemann–Liouville differintegral, Riemann Integral and the Riemannian Surfaces.
2. Carl Friedrich Gauss 1777 – 1855 - Carl Friedrich Gauss was a German mathematician and a physicist who is also known as “the Prince of Mathematicians” and had great contribution in various fields like algebra, number theory, analysis, statistics, geophysics, differential geometry, optics, electrostatics and astronomy. He had extraordinary mental capability and made his first discovery while he was a teenager.
1. Leonhard Euler 1707 – 1783 - Leonhard Euler was a Swiss mathematician and physicist. Euler is known as the outstanding mathematician of eighteenths century and an interesting, the most prolific and great mathematician of all the time, with beauty in his theorems and concept he had done extraordinary work. He made great discoveries in this specialty as distinct as infinitesimal calculus, geometry, algebra, trigonometry and graph theory.

We discuss primarily the work of Eudoxus and Archimedes, the founders of calculus. Archimedes in particular discovered formulas that are only found in advanced calculus courses, concerning the relations between the volumes and surface areas of a sphere and a circumscribing cylinder. We also discuss his work on the area of a parabolic arc, Heron's formula (improved using ideas of Rational Trigonometry), hydrostatics, and the Principle of the Lever. He was a true genius.

Professor Alan Davies presents a series of groundbreaking experiments pioneered by the Ancient Greeks. Often called the "birthplace of civilisation", Ancient Greece heralded numerous advances in philosophy, science, engineering and mathematics which have shaped our understanding of the modern world.
Assisted by Ri demo technician, Andy Marmery, Professor Davies demonstrates the key discoveries and experiments of many Greek thinkers -- from Thales and Pythagoras to Euclid, Archimedes and Hypatia of Alexandria.
This video was created as part of the Greek Legacy series of events, generously supported by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (http://www.snf.org).
The conference for sixth form students, held on Friday 6th March 2014, was a day of interaction and discovery - from exploring the astrolabe and the steam engine to exclaiming "Eureka!" and asking "How did they do that?". Alongside Professor Davies' demonstrations, talks were presented on Euclid and Hypatia. The audience discovered how the Greek Philosophers established the foundation of modern mathematics through the concept of proof, and students from Imperial College presented Greeks: The Musical!
Plus, there was the first ever public-screening of the Ri animation, The Greek Legacy.

The ancient Greeks loved geometry and made great advances in this subject. Euclid's Elements was for 2000 years the main text in mathematics, giving a careful systematic treatment of both planar and three dimensional geometry, culminating in the five Platonic solids.
Apollonius made a thorough study of conics. Constructions played a key role, using straightedge and compass.

The Greek Legacy: How the Ancient Greeks shaped modern mathematics
A two-minute animated adventure to Ancient Greece and back again - voiced by Numberphile's James Grime! Often called the "birthplace of civilisation", Ancient Greece heralded numerous advances in philosophy, science, sport and also mathematics. Over six centuries from 600 BC a group of revolutionary thinkers -- from Thales, Pythagoras, Democritus and Aristotle to Euclid, Archimedes and Hypatia of Alexandria -- formalised the rules and language of modern mathematics. For Greek thinkers, maths wasn't simply a means of calculating amounts but a way of testing reality and understanding the true nature of the world around them. Indeed, Pythagoras is believed to have coined both the words "philosophy" ("love of wisdom") and "mathematics" ("that which is learned"). In turn, Euclid came to be...

A two-minute animated adventure to Ancient Greece and back again - voiced by Numberphile's James Grime!
Often called the "birthplace of civilisation", Ancient Greece heralded numerous advances in philosophy, science, sport and also mathematics. Over six centuries from 600 BC a group of revolutionary thinkers -- from Thales, Pythagoras, Democritus and Aristotle to Euclid, Archimedes and Hypatia of Alexandria -- formalised the rules and language of modern mathematics.
For Greek thinkers, maths wasn't simply a means of calculating amounts but a way of testing reality and understanding the true nature of the world around them. Indeed, Pythagoras is believed to have coined both the words "philosophy" ("love of wisdom") and "mathematics" ("that which is learned"). In turn, Euclid came to be known as the "father of geometry".
At the heart of this new understanding, was the concept of "the proof", developed by Euclid in what is commonly regarded as the most important and successful mathematical textbook of all time -- the "Stoicheion" or "Elements". Built upon the axiomatic method, mathematical proofs were a way of testing assumptions by building up a mathematical argument using self-evident or assumed statements (or, "axioms").
It is this methodology that formed the foundational language and logic of modern mathematics throughout the world. Indeed, Euclid's Elements was widely used as the seminal maths textbook right up until the start of the twentieth century.

10. Pythagoras of Samos 570BC-495BC - Pythagoras of Samos was an Ionian Greek mathematician, philosopher, and founder of the Pythagoreanism. He is often cherished as a great mystic, mathematician, and scientist, but he is renowned for the Pythagorean Theorem that carries his name. According to Aristotle the Pythagorean group was one of the first that widely studied advance mathematics.
9. Leonardo Pisano Blgollo 1170-1250 - Leonardo Pisano Blgollo also known as Fibonacci was an Italian mathematician who is considered by some people as the most talented mathematician of the middle Ages. He is renowned for introducing Fibonacci Series and the Arabic numbering system in Europe. There are many other mathematical concepts that are named after Fibonacci.
8. Wilhelm Leibniz 1646-1716 - Wilhelm Leibniz was a German philosopher and mathematician that occupies a distinct place in the history of Philosophy and history of mathematics. First started his career as lawyer later become fascinated towards philosophy and then towards science because of his interest.
7. Isaac Newton 1642-1727 - Isaac Newton was an English mathematician and physicist and is widely known as the one of the most inspiring scientists of all the time and is a role of model in the scientific revolution. Newton also made significant contribution to optics and formulated three laws of motion and law of gravitation. Along with Gottfried Leibniz he invented the infinitesimal calculus. His work helped in advancing every branch of mathematics.
6. Alan Turing 1912 – 1954 - Alan Turing was a British mathematician, cryptanalyst, logician and computer scientist. He is known as the Father of artificial intelligence and computer sciences because of his intelligence and influential work in the field of computer sciences. He explained the concepts of “computation” and “algorithm” with the help of turning machine which was considered a model representing computer.
5. René Descartes 1596-1650 - René Descartes was a French philosopher, writer and mathematician and physicist. He was named as the ‘Father of Modern Philosophy’ as a response to his writings. His contribution in mathematics is equally seen, one of his most lasting contribution is Cartesian coordinate system or analytical geometry. He invented the method of representing the unknowns in the equations by x, y and z or in the form of a, b and c.
4. Euclid - Euclid of Alexandria, was a great Greek mathematician who is often mentioned as the “Father of Geometry”. He is very famous for his magnum opus; Elements that is one of the inspirational contribution to the field and is being used as the major textbook from the time of its issuance until the late 19th or early 20th century to teach mathematics.
3. Bernhard Riemann 1826 – 1866 - Bernhard Riemann was a German scientist who was born in a poor family but became an influential mathematician. He made a lot of contributions in number theory, differential geometry and analysis and there are a number of theorems that bear his name like Riemannian Geometry, Riemann–Liouville differintegral, Riemann Integral and the Riemannian Surfaces.
2. Carl Friedrich Gauss 1777 – 1855 - Carl Friedrich Gauss was a German mathematician and a physicist who is also known as “the Prince of Mathematicians” and had great contribution in various fields like algebra, number theory, analysis, statistics, geophysics, differential geometry, optics, electrostatics and astronomy. He had extraordinary mental capability and made his first discovery while he was a teenager.
1. Leonhard Euler 1707 – 1783 - Leonhard Euler was a Swiss mathematician and physicist.

Professor Alan Davies presents a series of groundbreaking experiments pioneered by the Ancient Greeks. Often called the "birthplace of civilisation", Ancient Greece heralded numerous advances in philosophy, science, engineering and mathematics which have shaped our understanding of the modern world.
Assisted by Ri demo technician, Andy Marmery, Professor Davies demonstrates the key discoveries and experiments of many Greek thinkers -- from Thales and Pythagoras to Euclid, Archimedes and Hypatia of Alexandria.
This video was created as part of the Greek Legacy series of events, generously supported by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (http://www.snf.org).
The conference for sixth form students, held on Friday 6th March 2014, was a day of interaction and discovery - from exploring the astrolabe and the steam engine to exclaiming "Eureka!" and asking "How did they do that?". Alongside Professor Davies' demonstrations, talks were presented on Euclid and Hypatia. The audience discovered how the Greek Philosophers established the foundation of modern mathematics through the concept of proof, and students from Imperial College presented Greeks: The Musical!
Plus, there was the first ever public-screening of the Ri animation, The Greek Legacy.

Documentary - Light and Dark 1of2 Light
Two-part series in which Professor Jim Al-Khalili shows how, by uncovering its secrets, scientists have used light to reveal almost everything we know about the universe. But in the last 30 years we have discovered that far from seeing everything, we have seen virtually nothing. Our best estimate is that more than 99 per cent of the universe is actually hidden in the dark. The story of how we used light to reveal the cosmos begins in the 3rd century BC when, by trying to understand the tricks of perspective, the Greek mathematician Euclid discovered that light travels in straight lines, a discovery that meant that if we could change its path we could change how we see the world.

Euclidean algorithm
Please give us a THUMBS UP if you like our videos!!! Source:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_algorithm In mathematics, the Euclidean algorithm[a], or Euclid's algorithm, is an efficient method for computing the greatest common divisor (GCD) of two numbers, the largest number that divides both of them without leaving a remainder. It is named after the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid, who first described it in Euclid's Elements (c. 300 BC). It is an example of an algorithm, a step-by-step procedure for performing a calculation according to well-defined rules, and is one of the oldest numerical algorithms still in common use. It can be used to reduce fractions to their simplest form, and is a part of many other number-theoretic and cryptographic calculations.

Fran Bagenal - Intro to Astronomy: Hypatia of Alexandria
In this August 29, 2005 Introduction to Astronomy lecture, University of Colorado Boulder professor of Astrophysical and Planetary Sciences, Fran Bagenal, delivers the lecture as Hypatia of Alexandria. Fran realized that a good way to convey the contributions to astronomy from the ancient Greeks as well as highlight the role of early woman astronomers was to give a class as one of the seminal figures of the time. Hypatia was a Greek mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher in Egypt, then a part of the Byzantine Empire. She was the head of the Neoplatonic school at Alexandria, where she taught philosophy and astronomy.

With each new insight into the nature of light came a fresh understanding of the cosmos. It has allowed us to peer deep into space and even revealed the composition and lifecycles of the stars.
In the 1670s, the Danish astronomer Ole Roemer discovered that light travelled at a finite speed, a discovery that had a profound implication. It meant the further one looks out into the universe, the further one looks back in time. And in 1964, by detecting the cosmic microwave background, the afterglow of the big bang, we captured the oldest light in the universe and saw as far back as it is possible to see with light.

Source:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_algorithm
In mathematics, the Euclidean algorithm[a], or Euclid's algorithm, is an
efficient method for computing the greatest common divisor (GCD) of two numbers,
the largest number that divides both of them without leaving a remainder. It is
named after the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid, who first described it in
Euclid's Elements (c. 300 BC). It is an example of an algorithm, a step-by-step
procedure for performing a calculation according to well-defined rules, and is
one of the oldest numerical algorithms still in common use. It can be used to
reduce fractions to their simplest form, and is a part of many other number-theoretic
and cryptographic calculations.

In this August 29, 2005 Introduction to Astronomy lecture, University of Colorado Boulder professor of Astrophysical and Planetary Sciences, Fran Bagenal, delivers the lecture as Hypatia of Alexandria.
Fran realized that a good way to convey the contributions to astronomy from the ancient Greeks as well as highlight the role of early woman astronomers was to give a class as one of the seminal figures of the time. Hypatia was a Greek mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher in Egypt, then a part of the Byzantine Empire. She was the head of the Neoplatonic school at Alexandria, where she taught philosophy and astronomy.
