History Lesson 2

OK class, here are some names you should get to know
This is about 600 B.C.E. on the timeline

Thales of Miletus
Apastamba
Anaximander of Miletus
Pythagoras of Samos (yes that Pythagoras)
Anaximenes of Miletus
Cleostratus of Tenedos

This is about the time when many contributions were made to mathematics, previously we've had one person make some kind of a contribution. Again, math was not high on ancient mans list of things to do

    I took math history in college to get out of taking a real math class.
