The Greek mathematician Diophantus of Alexandria is known with certainty to have lived between 150 B.C. and A.D. 350, as we infer from his having mentioned Hypsicles and from his having been mentioned by The on of Alexandria; it seems fairly probable, though, that he flourished about A.D. 250.1 We can be sure that he wrote at least two treatises: one dealing with problems in indeterminate analysis, the Arithmetica, and another, smaller, tract on polygonal numbers, both of which are only partially extant today.
