mathematicians were united by culture. United
by culture and language they lived in cities along the Eastern Mediterranean. “Mathematics"
comes from the ancient Greek μάθημα (mathema), meaning "subject of
instruction". Greeks mathematicians
studied mathematics as a subject and used mathematical theories and proofs unlike
those of earlier civilizations.
Greek mathematicians developed a chart to find prime numbers, finding the area of a triangle and relationship of the three sides of a right triangle.
Heron developed a method using iteration for computing the square root. Heron “Hero” of Alexandria was famous Greek mathematician in the new millennia AD which he wrote the book Metrica in 60 AD.
Pythagoras developed the Pythagorean Theorem for relating the sides of a right triangle.
