, Question 1 (10) Are the following statements true or false? Where the
statement is false, make it to be true. 1.1 Euclid is the Pythagorean school
and contributed to philosophy and the study of proportion, plane, and solid
geometry. 1.2 Zeno of Elea proposed that a unit has magnitude and is
infinitely divisible. 1.3 Base 100, the ancient Greek numeral system, was also
known as the Attic or Herodianic numeral system. 1.4 Plato has one of his
longest and clearest mathematical discussions in Phaedo. 1.5 In his works,
Socrates dealt in some detail with mathematical questions in the early 4th
century 300 BCE.
1.1 False. Euclid was not part of the Pythagorean school, but rather, he was a Greek
mathematician who lived around 300 BCE. He is best known for his work "Elements,"
which is a comprehensive compilation of geometrical knowledge at the time. Euclid's
"Elements" covers various aspects of geometry, including plane and solid geometry, as
well as the study of proportions, but he was not directly associated with the
Pythagorean school. However, his work was heavily influenced by the mathematical
discoveries of earlier Greek mathematicians, including those of the Pythagoreans.
1.2 True. Zeno of Elea, a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher, is known for his paradoxes,
which were thought experiments challenging common notions of motion and infinity.
One of his paradoxes, known as the Dichotomy paradox, suggests that if space and time
are infinitely divisible, then any finite distance or duration can be divided into an infinite
number of smaller parts. This idea implies that a unit, such as a length or time interval,
can indeed have magnitude and be infinitely divisible according to Zeno's philosophical
perspective.
1.3 False. Base 100, or the ancient Greek numeral system, is known as the Attic numeral
system. It was primarily used for recording numbers in ancient Greece and was later
adopted by the Romans. The Herodianic numeral system is a separate system named
after Herodes Atticus, a Greek aristocrat, which was used for a brief period in the 2nd
century CE. The Herodianic system was based on Greek alphabetic numerals rather than
a base system like the Attic numeral system.
