Description Diophantus’ Arithmetica forms the foundation of algebra and highlights the profound knowledge and thought of the great Greek mathematician, known for his pioneering contribution to number theory. The collection includes five volumes and is considered a rare work, as some of the texts were preserved through Arabic copies. The systematic study of the Arithmetica offers a unique opportunity to understand the composition and evolution of algebra from ancient times. It is an ideal series for mathematics enthusiasts, history lovers, and those interested in the impact of ancient Greek mathematical thought on Arabic and modern mathematical tradition. Each volume includes the original text in Ancient Greek (or Arabic) and translation into modern Greek, commentary and introduction.
