Key Figures in Greek Mathematics

A pioneering Greek mathematician considered the 'Father of Geometry' who used reasoning to discover properties of circles & triangles.

The title given to Thales of Miletus for his work in early Geometry.

A Greek mathematician famous for the Pythagorean Theorem.

A fundamental geometric theorem relating the sides of a right-angled triangle. $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$.

A type of logical reasoning used by Thales, drawing conclusions from established facts.

A Greek mathematician known for his book The Elements, which systematically laid out geometric principles. His work established the foundational basis for geometry.

A Greek mathematician, engineer, and inventor who made significant contributions to geometry, calculus, and physics. He calculated pi, figured out volumes of shapes, and invented innovative machines.

A Greek mathematician known for his work on 'squaring the circle', a problem that asks if one can construct a square with the same area as a given circle using only compass and straightedge. He also contributed to the theory of proportions.

A comprehensive book written by Euclid that systematized geometry, presenting definitions, postulates, and proofs in a logical order. It has been influential in mathematics for centuries.

A famous geometrical problem that involves constructing a square with the same area as a given circle using only a compass and straightedge. It has fascinated mathematicians for centuries.
