Greek Mathematics

Greek mathematics, the study of numbers and their properties, patterns, structure, space, apparent change, and measurement, is said to have originated with Thales of Miletus (l. c. 585 BCE) but was clearly understood during the periods of the Minoan civilization (2000-1450 BCE) and the Mycenaean Civilization (c. 1700-1100 BCE) and was derived from older Mesopotamian and Egyptian mathematical systems.

A parte qualche turbolenza iniziale, ad esempio la distruzione della biblioteca di Ctesifonte, durante l'espansione dei primi secoli il mondo islamico riuscì a creare un clima di tolleranza e collaborazione tra pensatori di fede diversa, e tramite la mediazione dei dotti cristiani, ebrei e zoroastriani riuscì ad entrare in contatto con l'antico sapere greco.
