Just watched a program on the Parthenon. Amazing structural engineering and architectural skills! It sure does say something when we have a difficult time duplicating the precise details with our super high tech tools.
there's a lot of perfect mathematical/geometric and architectural precision in greek architecture. it's fantastic. golden ratio and all that.Mekstizzle wrote:

The history of mathematics truly is fascinating. I think it's even more amazing that people were able to accomplish the things they did with the limited mathematics that were available at the time. Even going only as far back as computing logarithms the way mathematicians did when they were first developed is startling. It makes me wonder how far man will progress in the next 500 years.Uzique wrote:
i think it's very interesting how antiquated classical civs basically preempted these new theoretical/analytical theorems with rudimentary practical application. kind of like how ancient egyptian agricultural measurements and merchant mathematics prefigured quadratic equations.
