Answer) Meno’s question about how knowledge is gained is “Can you tell me, Socrates, whether virtue is acquired by teaching or by practice; or if neither by teaching nor practice, then whether it comes to man by nature, or in what another way?” Socrates answered that he is certain that if Meno was to ask any Athenian about virtue that either it was acquired or natural, he would laugh in face of Meno. And Socrates himself is living as he does in this poverty’s region, is as poor as the other people of the world; and Socrates confessed with shame that he literally does not know anything about virtue; and when Socrates is not aware of the "quid" of anything how he was able to know the "quale"? Socrates answered that he knows nothing at all about the virtue that is basic knowledge.
How
does Socrates' interview with the slave boy support his position about the
nature of learning?
Answer) The interview of Socrates with the slave boy support the
position of that boy about the nature of learning as Socrates shared what he
knew about the nature of learning. Socrates stated that priests and priestesses
have studied what they were able to justify that why they have chosen that area
of study. Socrates provided the examples of poets who used to speak for
inspirations and he quoted a poet i.e. Pindar. Socrates provided the moral that
a man is always ought to live in holiness that so perfect. Socrates stated that
according to the poets, a man’s soul is immortal and the end is in the term of
dying.
Why
does he choose to discuss geometry with a slave boy in order to prove his
point, rather than choosing to discuss, say, politics with, say, Meno?
Answer) In order to prove his point, Socrates has chosen to discuss the geometry with that slave boy rather than politics because a slave boy possessed the knowledge that was already known and it was explainable through geometry. Socrates used a line to explain the phenomenon of diagonal because it was the best thing that proved his point to the slave boy. The slave boy was ignorant of geometry but he was capable of learning the complicated problem of geometry. Socrates, by drawing figures of geometry in the ground, demonstrated that initially, the slave is not aware of finding the area of a square twice. It was noted by Socrates before asking him a question, who had been haphazardly picked from the entourage of Meno, the slave boy was taught well and fluently himself on the subject of geometry. The boy would have remained confident, without Socratic questioning, in his ignorance and he would have never attempted to learn or look for what, according to him, he knew.
The influence of Egyptian math on the Greeks.
Ancient Greece’s mathematicians made
a very significant and important contribution to world thought along with all
practical subjects that are dependent on this intellectual basis, from astronomy
to design, geometry to engineering. Greek mathematicians, initially influenced
by the Egyptians, would push on to making innovations such as the theory of
Pythagoras of right-angled triangles along with by concentrating on the
abstract, bring precision as well as clarity to old problems of mathematics. Fundamental
mathematical building blocks were provided by their solutions that all future scientists,
as well as mathematicians, would build right up upon to the present day. In
addition to Egyptian influence, Ionia was exposed to the ideas and culture of
Mesopotamia through the kingdom of Lydia
A person named (Zu Chongzhi)
Ancestry of Chongzhi from Hebei,

Song for the Palace Buildings and was government construction projects’ in

A
person named (Niccolo Tartaglia)
Niccolò Fontana Tartaglia
(Italian: 13 December 1557, Venice) was a mathematician based in Italy, a surveyor
(of topography, looking for the best means of offense or defense), engineer
(designing fortifications) and, last but not least, a bookkeeper from the Republic
of Venice (at that time and now part of Italy). Many books were published by
him such as of Archimedes’ first Italian translations and Euclid, and a mathematics’
acclaimed compilation. He was the first who applied mathematics to the examination
of the cannonballs’ paths, known, in his Nova Scientia, as ballistics (A New
Science); later, the work of Tartaglia was partially superseded and partially
validated by studies of Galileo on falling bodies. Tartaglia published a
treatise as well on retrieving sunken ships
