Sciences
A different way ancient Greek philosophy and culture influenced Western society was by their scientific studies from medicine to astronomy. One of the many famous Greek philosophers is named Archimedes of Syracuse he was a Greek mathematician, physicist, engineer, inventor, and astronomer. He was able to get an accurate approximation of PI by using the method of exhaustion to calculate the area of a parabola that came with an infinite series of solution that could go on. In our school life we use PI to figure out mathematical problems in school. Another Greek philosopher is named Democritus and he was a pre-Socratic Greek materialist. He believed that all matter is made up of indivisible elements called atoms or as we call it atoms. To this day many scientist have made many discoveries of different atoms from the Oxygen atom to the Carbon atom it all started with the concept of atoms.
