17th-century Greek mathematicians

ID: 17th-century-greek-mathematicians

In the 17th century, Greek mathematicians were part of a broader European revival of interest in the classical works of Greek scholars like Euclid, Archimedes, and Ptolemy. However, during this period, Greece was under Ottoman rule, and the local mathematical contributions were not as prominent as in earlier centuries. Many Greek scholars became involved in the European intellectual movement, often translating ancient texts or contributing to mathematics through the lens of their studies in Western European universities.
