Topics About Special Numbers Topic Tree Home Following are some items relating to special numbers discussed in the history of mathematics. Contents of this Page Perfect Numbers Square Numbers The Nature of Prime Numbers ... The History of Zero Perfect Numbers The Pythagoreans produced a theory of numbers comprised of numerology and scientific speculation. In their numerology, even numbers were feminine and odd numbers masculine. The numbers also represented abstract concepts such as 1 stood for reason, 2 stood for opinion, 3 stood for harmony, 4 stood for justice, and so on. Their arithmetica had a theory of special classes of numbers. There were “perfect” numbers of two kinds. The first kind included only 10, which was basic to the decimal system and the sum of the first four numbers 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10. The second kind of “perfect” numbers were those equal to the sum of their proper divisors. A perfect number is a positive integer that is equal to the sum of it divisors. However, for the case of a perfect number, the number itself is not included in the sum. The Greeks called a number such as 6 or 28 a “perfect” number because the sum of the proper divisors in each case is equal to the number; the proper divisors of 6 are 1, 2, and 3, and their sum is 6. Although perfect numbers are regarded as arithmetical curiosities, their study has helped to develop the theory of numbers. Euclid proved that a number n of the form (2

Nicomachus Nicomachus of Gerasa is mentioned in a small number of sources and we can date him fairly accurately. From his writings on numbers and music, it is clear that Nicomachus was a Pythagorean. Porphyry says that he was one of the leading members of the Pythagorean School. Nicomachus wrote Introduction to Arithmetic , which was the first work to treat arithmetic as a separate topic from geometry. Unlike Euclid, Nicomachus gave no abstract proofs of his theorems, merely stating theorems and illustrating them with numerical examples. The work contains elementary errors which indicate that he did not have proofs to give. An example of this, consider the results which Nicomachus quotes on perfect numbers. He states that the n th perfect number has n digits, and that all perfect numbers end in 6 and 8 alternately. These are false, but are reasonable guesses based on the four perfect numbers known during his time, namely 6, 28, 496 and 8128. The work contains the first multiplication table in a Greek text. It is also remarkable in that it contains Arabic numerals, not Greek ones. For over 1000 years Introduction to Arithmetic was the standard arithmetic text, despite the many errors and superstitous numerology. Most Arabic texts on number theory written by mathematicians were influenced by both Euclid and Nicomachus.

26. 1120 A.D. With the birth of nicomachus of gerasa in this year, there was a breakin this dark period of mathematics. His work in mathematics http://faculty.oxy.edu/jquinn/home/Math490/Timeline/60AD.html

For sixty years after the birth of Jesus Christ, there were no prominent mathematicians. During this era, a new religion that was based on the teachings of Jesus Christ experienced rapid growth. Consequently, Christianity became the largest religion in the world today. Ironically at the same time there was no major work done in mathematics. With the birth of Nicomachus of Gerasa in this year, there was a break in this dark period of mathematics. His work in mathematics was primarily in the area of arithmetic. In " Arithmetike eisagoge ," or " Introduction to Arithmetic ," Nicomachus severed the bond between arithmetic and geometry. This was the first time in mathematical history that arithmetic was isolated from geometry. One of the important features of this book is the inclusion of multiplication tables. Nichomachus used the Arabic numerals as opposed to Greek, which was also rare. The theorems in this book were never proven, but rather stated with specific examples. Nicomachus also wrote a two volume work entitled " Theologoumena arithmetikes " or " The Theology of Numbers ," which described interesting properties about numbers. He died at the age of sixty, leaving a text that would be used in the area of arithmetic for about a thousand years, namely "

28. The Manual Of Harmonics This book is the first ever complete translation of The Manual of Harmonics by thePythagorean philosopher nicomachus of gerasa (second century AD) published http://www.phanes.com/manhar.html

The Manual of Harmonics of Nicomachus the Pythagorean Translation and Commentary by Flora R. Levin In ancient Greek thought, the musical scale discovered by the philosopher Pythagoras was seen as a utopian model of the harmonic order behind the structure of the cosmos and human existence. Through proportion and harmony, the musical scale bridges the gap between two extremes. It encapsulates the most fundamental pattern of harmonic symmetry and demonstrates how the phenomena of nature are inseparably related to one another through the principle of reciprocity. Because of these relationships embodied in its structure, the musical scale was seen as an ideal metaphor of human society by Plato and other Pythagorean thinkers, for it is based on the cosmic principles of harmony, reciprocity, and proportion, whereby each part of the whole receives its just and proper share. This book is the first ever complete translation of The Manual of Harmonics by the Pythagorean philosopher Nicomachus of Gerasa (second century A.D.) published with a comprehensive, chapter-by-chapter commentary. It is a concise and well-organized introduction to the study of harmonics, the universal principles of relation embodied in the musical scale. Also included is a remarkable chapter-by-chapter commentary by the translator, Flora Levin, which makes this work easily accessible to the reader today. Dr. Levin explains the principles of Pythagorean harmony, provides extensive background information, and helps to situate Nicomachus' thought in the history of ideas. This important work constitutes a valuable resource for all students of ancient philosophy, Western cosmology, and the history of music.

29. Just Intonation fl. c. 300 bc), the Manual of Harmonics by nicomachus of gerasa (b. c.60 ad), and the Harmonics by Ptolemy (c. 100–160 ad). Nicomachus http://www.chrysalis-foundation.org/just_intonation.htm

Just Intonation The term just intonation has two different origins. The first is ancient and strictly mathematical. It states that just intonation is a method of tuning intervals and scales based exclusively on rational numbers. The second is modern and strictly acoustic. It states that just intonation is a method of tuning based on the intervals of the harmonic series. In the West, some of the oldest extant sources that give detailed accounts of rational or integer number ratios in music are the Division of the Canon by Euclid (fl. c b.c. ), the Manual of Harmonics by Nicomachus of Gerasa (b. c a.d. ), and the Harmonics by Ptolemy ( c. a.d. Nicomachus chronicles the discoveries of the semi-legendary Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras ( c b.c. ) who reputedly discovered the crucial nexus between sound and number. According to Nicomachus, Pythagoras lacked an instrument that would assist his ears in the same manner in which a compass aids the eyes.

Welcome! Since August 28, 1996 you are visitor number: I hope you enjoy your visit and will return often! Introduction By Donald Beaman, Professor (retired) Boston University Barbara Hero is a current witness to a phenomenon investigated by Pythagoras (c. 582-500 B.C.) and known to him as the Lambdoma Matrix. Nicomachus of Gerasa recorded the process and it was picked up by Iamblichus before 350 A.D. We inherit the work of Leonardo of Pisa, also known as Fibonacci, who lived in he early thirteenth century. In time, Renaissance Europe both discovered and lost the Lambdoma pursuing mathematics and musical intervals. A whole language of relationship followed. ...Ratios ...Frequencies ...Wave Lengths ...Undertones and Overtones. Barbara acts as our guide in this world of rarified discernment, giving us sounds, drawings, charts and even laser projections, synthesized into a vast tapestry that is art and science ...music, sound and light. She counsels us from THE LAMBDOMA HARMONIC KEYBOARD, giving us a personal reading based on our favorite color, and a musical interval appropriate to our blended presence, designed to enhance our wellbeing. The call is to harmony of spirit, mind, emotion and physicality within one dynamic presence. We may ask, "why is the Lambdoma Matrix important to us?" ... "Is it anything more than a complicated opinion?" ...
