  • Analytical Reasoning and Problem-Solving in Diophantus’s Arithmetica

    Open AccessJean ChristianidisARTICLEPhilosophia Scientae2021

    Over the past few decades, the question regarding the proper understanding of Diophantus’s method has attracted much scholarly attention. “Modern (i.e., post-Vietan) algebra”, “algebraic geometry”, “arithmetic”, “analysis and synthesis”, have been suggested by historians as suitable contexts for describing Diophantus’s resolutory procedures, while the category of “premodern algebra” has recently been proposed by other historians to this end. The …

  • Situating the Debate on “Geometrical Algebra” within the Framework of Premodern Algebra

    Open AccessMichalis Sialaros, Jean ChristianidisARTICLEScience in Context2016

    Argument The aim of this paper is to employ the newly contextualized historiographical category of “premodern algebra” in order to revisit the arguably most controversial topic of the last decades in the field of Greek mathematics, namely the debate on “geometrical algebra.” Within this framework, we shift focus from the discrepancy among the views expressed in the debate to some of the historiographical assumptions and methodological approaches …

    The voluminous Treatise of the four mathematical sciences of Georgios Pachymeres is the most renowned quadrivium produced in Byzantium. Among its specific features, historians of mathematics have pointed out, is the inclusion of Diophantus, besides Nicomachus and Euclid, in the sources for the arithmetical section and, accordingly, the incorporation of series of problems and problem-solving in its contents. The present paper investigates the “Dio…
