| Titolo: | Dynamis, the Babylonians and Theaetetus 147c7-148d7 / Jens Høyrup. |
| Abstract: | 'A survey of the usages of the [Greek mathematical] term, ["dÿnamis",] and of the related verb "dÿnasthai" by Plato, Aristotle, Hero, Diophantos, and Nicomachos shows that all are compatible with a familiar concept of Babylonian mathematics, the square identified by (and hence with) its side ... the Greek concept may have been inspired or borrowed from the Near East.' |
