Greek mathematics
mathematics texts and advances written in Greek
Greek mathematics is to mathematics ideas and theories from the Archaic period through the Hellenistic and Roman periods, mostly started from the 7th century BC to the 4th century AD, around the Eastern Mediterranean. Greek mathematicians lived in cities over the entire Eastern Mediterranean from Italy to North Africa, sharing Greek culture and the Greek language. The word "mathematics" itself derives from the Ancient Greek: μάθημα, romanized: máthēma Attic Greek: [má.tʰɛː.ma] Koine Greek: [ˈma.θi.ma], meaning "subject of instruction".[1][2][3][4]
