Download or read book The Mathematics of Plato's Academy written by D. H. Fowler and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1987 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a reinterpretation of early Greek mathematics, one of the most tantalizing intellectual subjects of the last 2,000 years. The first part offers several new interpretations of the idea of ratio in early Greek mathematics and illustrates them in detailed discussion of several texts. Part Two discusses the historical context of the subject--what we know of Plato's academy during his lifetime, the origin of our text of Euclid's Elements, and what we know of early Greek numerical practice. The book finishes with an account of the theory of continued fractions and its history since the 17th century.
