Much of modern day mathematics is either directly from, or is derived from the theories and advancements from Greek culture. Daily Greek life revolved around mathematics so it was only natural that so many great advancements came from one culture The Greeks developed “equations” for areas, volumes, and angles. The Greeks also, over a long period of time and input from many mathematicians, developed an extremely accurate value for pi. Greek mathematicians also brought in the advancements from of other cultures, such as those from Indian and the Middle East, and applied them to their own developments.
