Thales of Miletus
Born: about 624 BC in Miletus, Asia Minor (modern day Turkey)
Died: about 547 BC in Miletus, Asia Minor (modern day Turkey)
He was a pre-Socratic philosopher, who specialized in geometry. After being a merchant toward the beginning of his life, his interests shifted to astronomy, then to philosophy, and then to mathematics. Thales calculated the height of the Great Pyramid in Egypt with the sun and a stick. He is also known for his five geometric theorems that state (1) a closed angle circumscribed in a semicircle is a right angle, (2) a diameter bisects a circle, (3) if two sides of a triangle are equal then their bases are equal and vice versa (the definition of an isosceles triangle), (4) the vertical angle theorem, and (5) the theorem for similar triangles: if two triangles have equal angles, then any ratio of corresponding sides has the same value as any other (which is the basis for trigonometry). No direct writings are attributed to him, for they may have been lost or his findings were only recorded by others.

    Mathematics of Ancient Greece
    Date: 3/25/96 at 12:11:42 From: Beth Zumot Subject: Mathematics in Ancient Greece Dr. Math, I am a 6th grader at Bonny Doon School in Santa Cruz, California currently working on a report on mathematics in ancient Greece. My last report was on mathematics in ancient Egypt. In my research I was able to find how the ancient Egyptians did place value, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. I would like to find out the same information about the people of ancient Greece. I have been looking for some information and have found some but it is difficult for me to understand. If you can help me or tell me of a book that would give me information that I need in a format that I can understand it would really help me a lot. Can you tell that I like math Sincerely, Marcus Sosa Date: 3/25/96 at 20:33:22 From: Doctor Jodi Subject: Re: Mathematics in Ancient Greece Hi there Marcus! I'm glad to hear about your interest in math. :) I found a few interesting web pages about the history of Greek mathematics. The Clark University History of Mathematics has a web page on Greece which includes some maps and links to biographies about mathematicians from ancient Greece.

I heard fanciful stories about how he lived a frightful, dangerous life always going against the Church and that he was against the Holy Bible. This is the Castle of Ignornace that anti-Catholics preach. Reading this book broke dow the ignornace that I had about the "Galileo incident" in history. Sobel truely brings out the true story, not the make believe fairy-tale of Protestants, in a very non-denominational manner, using both city records and the letters from Galileo's daughter, a nun Suor Maria Celeste, to describe Galileo's life.
