How much of greek philosophy and mathematics original

none

in terms of mathematics, Egypt focused more on practical stuff

Theoretical mathematics began with Greece, Euclid's Elements is the first known math book to use deductive reasoning and introduced the concept of mathematical proofs

i am tired of this "Egypt taught Greece" meme

good one

You are a major retard, the kind of retard who isn't even aware of being an ignorant retard so he still feels the need to voice his "opinion":

Epic

>Since the rediscovery of the Babylonian civilization, it has become apparent that Greek and Hellenistic mathematicians and astronomers, and in particular Hipparchus, borrowed greatly from the Babylonians.

>Franz Xaver Kugler demonstrated in his book Die Babylonische Mondrechnung ("The Babylonian lunar computation", Freiburg im Breisgau, 1900) the following: Ptolemy had stated in his Almagest IV.2 that Hipparchus improved the values for the Moon's periods known to him from "even more ancient astronomers" by comparing eclipse observations made earlier by "the Chaldeans", and by himself. However Kugler found that the periods that Ptolemy attributes to Hipparchus had already been used in Babylonian ephemerides, specifically the collection of texts nowadays called "System B" (sometimes attributed to Kidinnu). Apparently Hipparchus only confirmed the validity of the periods he learned from the Chaldeans by his newer observations.

Continues:


Other traces of Babylonian practice in Hipparchus' work are:

>first known Greek use of the division the circle in 360 degrees of 60 arc minutes.
first consistent use of the sexagesimal number system.
the use of the unit pechus ("cubit") of about 2° or 2½°.
use of a short period of 248 days = 9 anomalistic months.

none of that is anywhere near as advanced as what Euclid did in the Elements

>>2904488
what does that have to do with anything, I didn't say they didn't borrow, I said alot of their stuff was insular

did Einstein also "steal" from Newton, using your logic

the >Le stealing science from PoC meme

That's it folks.... I guess we should also give credit to the Indians for General Relativity since Einstein used Arabic Numberals
