The Greek math

The Greeks revolutionized the study of mathematics by
introducing the deductive method in their study of math. The
best example here is the Pythagorean Theorem. The proof of
the theorem was the first to use deductive method and logical
reasoning.
Thales of Miletus is regarded as the first true mathematician to
use deductive reasoning in mathematics. Moreover, he was
able to derive the 4 corollaries in his theorem. Furthermore, he
applied his knowledge in computing heights of structures,
distances of ships from the shore and a host of other
applications.
The extent of Greek contribution to math is wide and deep.
Concepts like mathematical rigor, axiomatic method, number
theory, algebra, solid geometry, conic sections, spherical
geometry, optics and a host of others came to being because
of the Greeks.
