Abstract
This paper gives the reader a short biographical overview of ancient Greek mathematics. The author of this paper takes the reader on a tour of how mathematics was developed and the important role that Greece played in that development.

Abstract
This paper only touches on some selected aspects of a broad and encompassing subject. The author begins by outlining some of the key developments as a whole before further subdividing into three sections: Greek mathematical developments; Chinese and Middle Eastern developments; and Western developments. The paper concludes by drawing attention to the enormous scope of the history of mathematics.

Abstract
A short history of the great Greek mathematicians. Amongst those discussed are Pythagoras, Zeno, Euclid, Hippocrates, and Thales. This essay is a brief overview of their major contributions to modern mathematics.

Abstract
The paper analyzes the artifacts found from the Cyclades sites and pottery from the same region. The paper describes how the style of the Cyclades statuettes fits with other works from different parts of the near east and shows how it influenced later classical Greek and Roman sculpture. The paper discusses the many shifts in aesthetic viewpoint in this century, when art was redefined in terms of the existing social relations and prevalent aesthetic ideas. The paper also looks at the geometric style in Greece and the relationship of art, mathematics and computer technology today.

From the Paper
"The Cyclades are a group of islands in the Aegean Sea where neolithic burial sites have been found. The figurines found tend to be stylized and abstract in form (Fiero 8). The clay figurines in this culture are in place of the neolithic idols made of clay from other regions. The marble quarried on these islands made it possible for the workshops of the culture to flourish. Products made by artisans on the Cyclades made their way to Crete and also to the mainland. Most of the statuettes are naked female figurines with their arms crossed over the abdomen, and they are generally not designed to stand erect."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that Ancient Greek culture is something that has astonished people for generations because it was seemingly so ahead of its time. This civilization created things that were not matched for centuries in other places and is even responsible for ideas that are still in use today. The writer looks at ancient Greek advances in mathematics and science in addition to architectural achievements in ancient Greece. The writer notes that political ideologies from ancient Greek times can also still be learned from today. The writer concludes that ancient Greek society is one of the greatest civilizations on record and it should be admired for being so far ahead of its time.

From the Paper
"Another famous scholar from ancient Greece was Thales. He was a philosopher and scientist and is sometimes called the father of science. Thales was the person who set the seasons of the year and divided the year into 365 days. He did this by somehow following the path of the sun and things out based on mathematic equations. He was able to effectively estimate the height of the pyramids from the length of their shadows and he taught explorers the value of knowing where Ursa Minor was at all times. Thales was truly a brilliant scientist and his impact on the world is still visible today. Many of his calculations were correct and this is significant because we can learn a lot about Greek civilization by reading his work, since he was normally right. A famous mathematician who was around in ancient Greece was Pythagoras. He is known as the father of numbers and is probably best known for creating the Pythagorean Theorem, which is a method finding out the dimensions of a triangle and is still taught in schools today. He believed that absolutely everything was related to mathematics and that everything could be predicted and measured in rhythmic patterns or cycles."

Abstract
The Greeks were innovators in philosophy, mathematics and medicine, not to mention writing and the theater. The paper questions why, with such seemingly advanced knowledge - even at a time when there already was at least one monotheistic religion (Judaism) prevalent - did the Greeks continue to worship and believe in various gods, prophecies, witches and sorcerers and the inevitable interrelationship among them all with humans? The paper provides an overview of the main gods in Greek mythology.

From the Paper
"Mount Olympus, which would be home to the gods, was then constructed with twelve golden thrones for Zeus, his brothers and sisters, his children and Aphrodite, goddess of love. A quick overview of these various gods and goddesses reveals that Hera, often referred to as the queen of the gods, had a very dark side to her, immensely jealous of Zeus' power, and especially his dalliance with mortal women. He punished her from time to time, but they managed to co-exist."

Abstract
This paper looks at the contribution of the ancient Greek civilization to modern day mathematics. In particular, the paper considers the contribution of the ancient Greeks to geometry. It covers Euclid, Pythagoras, Archimedes, Thales, Apolllonius, Nicomedes, Anaxogorass, Auchytas, Eurocius, Eudoxus, Menaechmus. and Aristarchus.

From the Paper
"Ancient Greece was one ancient civilization which probably contributed the most to modern day mathematics, particularly to geometry since that seems to be the field they excelled at. It gave us such things as Pythagoras' theorem and Euclidean geometry, the value of volumes of circles and columns and solved problems such as doubling the cube squaring the circle and trisecting an angle. Euclid, though he is not believed to have developed many theorems in geometry himself was the first to come up with a..."

Abstract
The paper provides a background to the time period in which Plato lived and shows how the events of the time influenced his thinking and actions. The paper then examines his philosophies by dividing them into three sections: the Socratic, the Platonic, and the Late philosophies. The paper also describes Plato's other contributions to the world. It describes how he tried to educate the public by establishing his own academy of learning and mentions his influence on Mathematics.

From the Paper
"One item that can often be overlooked with Plato, is not only the content of his philosophies but the way he presents them. They are not written as complex papers but instead in simple dialogue form. The Macmillan Encyclopedia describes Plato's works as "dramatic dialogues of outstanding literary merit." The presentation of these arguments express his ideas while also being engaging and interesting to read. In the dialogue form, they read as if Plato is having a conversation with himself."

Abstract
Plato was born to an aristocratic family in Athens, Greece and was a disciple of the famous philosopher, Socrates. This paper examines the life of this famous ancient Greek and looks at the many contributions he made to political thought and philosophy.

From the Paper
"Plato's well-known theory of knowledge is described in the Republic, especially in his discussion of the image of the divided line and the myth of the cave (Vincent, 2005). In the image of the divided line, Plato distinguishes between two levels of awareness: opinion and knowledge. Claims or assumptions about the physical or visible world, including both observations and the propositions of science, are only opinions."

Abstract
This paper looks at Plato, the son of Ariston and Perictione, who was born around 427 or 428 B.C. and who came from a distinguished Athenian family. It examines how his writings were about law, about the philosophy of rule and democracy, as well as about science and mathematics and in particular, focuses on his dialogues with Socrates and his most famous book "The Republic".

From the Paper
"It is also important to recognize that Plato lived at the time when mythology began to be replaced by philosophical ideas that constituted a method of living. Surely, Plato and his students still believed in the Greek gods- but some of the stories of wars and creation, and how and why people did the things they did were now being based on a reality that was never recognized before. It may not be the gods that force us to do certain things, Plato implied. It is Man. This was not heresy. It was just an outgrowth of the past merging into the present, where things were not like they used to be. Politics, instead of fate now tended to govern cities and states. Education that taught ideas instead of how to chuck a spear or hold a shield now gained in importance. And, Plato laid the groundwork by writing it all down."
