Eratosthenes
what historic discoveries were made in the 1800'?
The discoveries of the Greeks evolved significantly from the time of Pythagoras to Eratosthenes, reflecting a shift from abstract mathematical theories to practical applications in science and geography. Pythagoras focused on numbers, proportions, and the properties of geometric shapes, laying the groundwork for mathematical thought. By the time of Eratosthenes, there was a greater emphasis on empirical observation and the application of mathematics to real-world problems, as seen in his calculation of the Earth's circumference and the development of a more systematic approach to geography. This transition highlights the growing integration of mathematics with other fields of knowledge.
Eratosthenes was from ancient greek
Hellenistic age was from 323 BCE to 31 BCE that had a great contribution in science. Some of the discoveries were, the anatomy of human body, study of the nervous system, the power source to make blood is the heart, and how the earth revolves around the sun.
