Theodosius of Bithynia : ウィキペディア英語版 | Theodosius of Bithynia
Theodosius of Bithynia (; c. 160 BC – c. 100 BC) was a Greek astronomer and mathematician who wrote the ''Sphaerics'', a book on the geometry of the sphere. ==Life== Born in Tripolis, in Bithynia, Theodosius is cited by Vitruvius as having invented a sundial suitable for any place on Earth. His ''Sphaerics'' provided the mathematics for spherical astronomy, and may have been based on a work by Eudoxus of Cnidus. Francesco Maurolico translated his works in the 16th century. In addition to the ''Sphaerics'', two other works by Theodosius have survived: ''On Habitations'', describing the appearances of the heavens at different climes, and ''On Days and Nights'', a study of the apparent motion of the Sun.
