Who is the Greek mathematician who made a thorough investigation of the conic sections? *​

Sagot :

Menaechmus

Menaechmus, (born c. 380 bc, Alopeconnesus, Asia Minor [now Turkey]—died c. 320, Cyzicus? [modern Kapidaği Yarimadasi, Turkey]), Greek mathematician and friend of Plato who is credited with discovering the conic sections.

Menaechmus is famed for his discovery of the conic sections and he was the first to show that ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas are obtained by cutting a cone in a plane not parallel to the base. ... This he achieved and therefore solved the problem of the duplicating the cube using these conic sections.
