Publisher's Synopsis
A History of Greek Mathematics Volume 2: From Aristarchus to Diophantus is a comprehensive exploration of the development of mathematics in ancient Greece, written by Thomas Heath and originally published in 1921. This second volume focuses on the period from the third century BCE to the third century CE, covering the work of mathematicians such as Aristarchus, Hipparchus, Ptolemy, and Diophantus. The book examines the mathematical concepts and techniques developed during this time, including geometry, trigonometry, and number theory. Heath provides detailed explanations of the theories and proofs developed by these mathematicians, as well as their contributions to astronomy and other scientific fields. The book is aimed at scholars and students of mathematics and ancient history, as well as anyone interested in the history of science and the intellectual achievements of the ancient Greeks.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
