Best Answer

It was Aristotle, a student of Socrates' follower Plato who was a renowned ancient mathematician, known also as the founder and developer of Logic as a science. Aristotle has written books on pure mathematics and logic, and has contradicted his master Plato in many things. Dialogues and discources of Socrates as recorded by Plato in his works do not portray him as anything like a mathematician.

His sole object was to teach the youth of Athens how to think logically and rationally for themselves.
