BC Calculus Post AP Exam Assignment: 500 BC-1 AD: Euclid‚ alive around 300 BC‚ completely transformed mathematics. His influence is extremely evident today in the fields of geometry‚ arithmetic‚ and optics. Living in a time when questioning thought‚ trying to understand the changing world‚ and developing ideas that could help understand the natural world‚ Euclid was able to identify and create ideas that transformed the way people viewed the world into a more mathematical‚ logical‚ and

Euclid also known as Euclid of Alexandria‚ was a Greek mathematician‚ often referred to as the "Father of Geometry". He was active in Alexandria during the reign of Ptolemy I (323–283 BC). His Elements is one of the most influential works in the history of mathematics‚ serving as the main textbook for teaching mathematics (especially geometry) from the time of its publication until the late 19th or early 20th century.[1][2][3] In the Elements‚ Euclid deduced the principles of what is now called Euclidean

Thales of Miletus (ca 624 - 546 BC) Greek domain Thales was the Chief of the Seven Sages of ancient Greece‚ and has been called the "Father of Science‚" the "Founder of Abstract Geometry‚" and the "First Philosopher." Thales is believed to have studied mathematics under Egyptians‚ who in turn were aware of much older mathematics from Mesopotamia. Thales may have invented the notion of compass-and-straightedge construction. Several fundamental theorems about triangles are attributed to Thales‚ including

In the times of the greeks‚ trigonometry and geometry were important mathematical principles used in building‚ agriculture and education. The Babylonians could measure angles‚ and are believed to have invented the division of the cirle into 360º.[1] However‚ it was the Greeks who are seen as the original pioneers of trigonometry. A Greek mathematician‚ Euclid‚ who lived around 300 BC was an important figure in geometry and

five main rules‚ or postulates. Differences in these rules are what make new kinds of geometries. There is Euclidean‚ Elliptic‚ and Hyperbolic Geometry. Euclidean geometry is the study of flat space and was invented by Euclid‚ a mathematician from Alexandria‚ in 330 B.C. Euclid described his new ideas and general rules in the book Elements (Bradley 30). The foundation of Euclidean geometry is the concept of a few undefined terms: points‚ lines‚ and planes. In essence‚ a point is an exact position

Raphael ’s School of Athens The work of art I chose for this assignment is one of a series of frescoes by the renaissance artist Raphael. The School of Athens is large‚ measuring 300 inches wide by 200 inches tall‚ and is part of a series of frescoes commissioned by Pope Julius II for what is now known as the Stanze di Raffaello in the Apostolic Palace in the Vatican. The work was completed by Raphael between 1509-1511‚ and is generally agreed upon to be the second work completed there. Originally
