The ancient Greek civilization had many contributions that helped explain its significance in history. During the Archaic Age‚ there were many economies and cultures. One economy were the coins. Although‚ the Greeks did not invent coins they did use coins to their advantage. They improved the design of the coins and the circulation of them. The Greeks added stamps to both sides of the coins for identification and made them of silver (Dutton 48). The Greeks used the coins for “collection of taxes

Week One Discussion Questions Compare and contrast a relation and a function. How can you determine when a relation is a function? * -A relation is a set of ordered pairs and a function is the relation of the first component of a pair to the second component of the same pair. * -A relation is a function when a domain value of X only maps to one range value of Y. * Explain how to determine the domain and range of a function. * -A set of ordered pairs have a first component which

Building upon what they learned from the Egyptians and Babylonians they found fundamental truths in geometry‚ and from these truths they mad propositions called axioms‚ through deductive reasoning the Greeks would use these axioms to find new theorems that could be proven. These theorems would be used to find solutions of both practical and abstract nature. 2. Thales: Thales of

sum of the area of squares of its adjacent and opposite sides.) Then let’s look at the famous Pythagoras theorem: “The square on the hypotenuse of a right angled triangle is equal to the sum of squares of its sides” The Sulba sutra was written on 12th century B.C. but the Pythagoras theorem was introduced on 6th century B.C‚ 600 years after Sulba sutra. That is‚ most of the works‚ theorems and concepts of mathematics existed in India on its own form even before in other countries. Let’s look at

Pythagoras is probably best known for his discovery of the Pythagorean Theorem. Not only did the group practice mathematics and religious topics‚ but they also became involved with the politics in Croton. Their involvement in the politics of Croton was not taken too kindly. The people of Croton burned down some of the meeting places of the Pythagorean followers. Killings many of them. with only the young making it out to safety. The Pythagorean order was everywhere suppressed‚ and was never again

In astronomy‚ he taught that the earth was a sphere‚ and in math he compared the difference between composite and prime numbers‚ discovered irrational numbers‚ and proved the Pythagorean Theorem. This stated that when the two shorter sides in a right triangle were squared and then added‚ it would equal the square of the longest side or hypotenuse. This was known earlier‚ but he was the first one to really prove it was true. He soon
