Description
A Short History of Greek Mathematics is a book written by James Gow and first published in 1884. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the development of mathematics in ancient Greece, from its origins in the early Ionian philosophers to the work of the great mathematicians of the Hellenistic period. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a particular aspect of Greek mathematics. The first chapter provides an introduction to the subject and discusses the early Ionian philosophers and their contributions to mathematics. The subsequent chapters cover the work of Pythagoras and his followers, the development of geometry by Euclid and his successors, and the contributions of Archimedes to calculus and mechanics.Throughout the book, Gow provides detailed explanations of mathematical concepts and theories, as well as biographical information about the mathematicians who developed them. He also discusses the cultural and historical context in which these mathematicians lived and worked, providing readers with a broader understanding of the role of mathematics in ancient Greek society.Overall, A Short History of Greek Mathematics is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of mathematics or the intellectual achievements of ancient Greece. It is written in a clear and accessible style, making it accessible to both scholars and general readers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
