Talk:Greek mathematics

Numerals?
I came to this page because I wondered what numerals the Greeks used; presumably not Roman or Arabic. The article really should start by saying what the Greeks actually wrote mathematics in.Dean1954 (talk) 10:33, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi, you might be interested in this article: Greek numerals. I'll take a second look at this page and make sure it's linked in an appropriate spot. - - mathmitch7 (talk/contribs) 13:47, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

Thanks a lot, mathmitch. It does need a link.Dean1954 (talk) 10:56, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

Arithmētikḗ vs. logistikós
The Logistic function article describes "λογῐστῐκός, translit. logistikós" as "a traditional division of Greek mathematics" and provides a brief note contrasting it with ἀριθμητική (arithmētikḗ). Finding this an interesting distinction, I came here looking for more information, but there's nothing here. So maybe a subject matter expert could add a section on this topic? Thanks. 64.125.50.162 (talk) 16:24, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

Potential changes
I am going to make a few additions under the achievements header. Austinroberts3567 (talk) 17:47, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

I also added an addition under achievements about the Sector theorem. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SouryaMo (talk • contribs) 18:03, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
 * , this section is devoted to seminal achievements, that is to achievements that have influenced mathematics for centuries. Menelaus theorem is not among them, and there are hundreds Greek theorems of a similar importance. As it is not reasonable to list them, Menelaus theorem has not its place here. So, I have reverted your addition. D.Lazard (talk) 18:44, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

I plan on adding some minor changes to the article under the Archaic and classical periods. After doing some research I found that the majority of the first paragraph was plagiarized from "A History of Mathematics" by Carl B. Boyer. I plan on rewriting most of that paragraph and adding the proper references to his work. Austinroberts3567 (talk) 15:46, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

Added some stuff to the Hellenistic and roman period section — Preceding unsigned comment added by SouryaMo (talk • contribs) 21:11, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
