Greek Mathematics
Greek Mathematics refers to the mathematical developments that occurred in ancient Greece, primarily from the 6th century BCE to the 3rd century CE. It is characterized by a systematic approach to mathematics, emphasizing logical reasoning and proof. Notable figures include Euclid, known for his work in geometry, and Pythagoras, famous for the Pythagorean theorem.
The Greeks made significant contributions to various fields, including geometry, number theory, and astronomy. They introduced concepts such as mathematical rigor and abstraction, laying the groundwork for future mathematical advancements. Their work influenced later cultures and remains foundational in modern mathematics.
