WHO IS
ARISTOTLE???
 Aristotle is a towering figure in ancient Greek philosophy,
ARISTOTLE
making contributions to logic, metaphysics, mathematics,
physics, biology, botany, ethics, politics, agriculture,
medicine, dance and theatre. He was a student
of Plato who in turn studied under Socrates. He was more
empirically-minded than Plato or Socrates and is famous
for rejecting Plato's theory of forms.

BIOGRAPHY
d [aristotélɛːs], Aristotélēs; 384–322 BC)[2] was an ancient
Greek philosopherand scientist born in the city
of Stagira, Chalkidice, on the northern periphery
of Classical Greece. His father, Nicomachus, died when
Aristotle was a child, whereafter Proxenus of
Atarneus became his guardian.[3]At seventeen or
eighteen years of age, he joined Plato's Academy in
Athens[4] and remained there until the age of thirty-seven
(c. 347 BC).
 There's no real evidence that he proved any new theorems.
Indeed, it has been wondered whether he knew significantly
less than he "should" have known, though this is not clear.
For instance, the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy
commits an extraordinary howler, claiming that Archimedes
had already proved that the rectification of the circumference
of a circle is equivalent to the quadrature of its area. Well, for
seriously disputable values of "proved", perhaps.
 As far as we know, his contributions were towards clarifying

mathematical logic. His interest in universal quantification
(and his sense that mathematics aspires to "barbara"-type
universal assertions) is a very early cut at ideas which, after
an enormously long period of dormancy, emerged in modern
mathematical logic. How far he can be seen to have started
this line of thought, rather than anticipated part of it, is
doubtful. Aristotle has not been a "go-to" early authority in
mathematics since the Archimedean tradition was resumed
in the early modern period, and Aristotle (for mostly nonmathematical reasons) became the representative
bogeyman of a superseded past.

better known as the teacher of Alexander the Great. He
was a student of Plato and is considered an important
