This article is a contribution to our knowledge of ancient Greek geometric analysis. We investigate a type of theoretic analysis, not previously recognized by scholars, in which the mathematician uses the techniques of ancient analysis to determine whether an assumed relation is greater than, equal to, or less than. In the course of this investigation, we argue that theoretic analysis has a different...
This paper is a contribution to our knowledge of Greek geometric analysis. In particular, we investigate the aspect of analysis know as diorism, which treats the conditions, arrangement, and totality of solutions to a given geometric problem, and we claim that diorism must be understood in a broader sense than historians of mathematics have generally admitted. In particular, we show that diorism was...
