Editing Ancient Greek mathematics (section)

===Medieval Islamic mathematics===
Numerous mathematical treatises were translated into Arabic in the 9th century; many works that are only extent today in Arabic translation, and there is evidence for several more that have since been lost.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Lorch |first1=Richard |title=Greek-Arabic-Latin: The Transmission of Mathematical Texts in the Middle Ages |journal=Science in Context |date=June 2001 |volume=14 |issue=1–2 |pages=313–331 |doi=10.1017/S0269889701000114 |url=https://epub.ub.uni-muenchen.de/15929/ }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last1=Toomer |first1=G.

Medieval Islamic scientists such as [[Alhazen]] developed the ideas of the Ancient Greek geometry into advanced theories in optics and astronomy, and Diophantus' ''Arithmetica'' was synthezied with the works of [[Al-Khwarizmi]] and works from [[Indian mathematics]] to develop a theory of [[algebra]].{{sfn|Netz|2022}}

The following works are extant only in Arabic translations:{{sfn|Høyrup|1990|pp=1-2}}

* Apollonius, ''Conics'' books V–VII, ''Cutting Off of a Ratio''
* Archimedes, ''[[Book of Lemmas]]''
* [[Diocles (mathematician)|Diocles]], ''On Burning Mirrors''
* Diophantus, ''[[Arithmetica]]'' books IV–VII
* Euclid, ''On Divisions of Figures'', ''On Weights''
* [[Menelaus of Alexandria|Menelaus]], ''Sphaerica''
* Hero, ''Catoptrica'', ''Mechanica''
* Pappus, ''Commentary on Euclid's Elements book X'', ''Collection'' Book VIII

Additionally, the work ''[[Optics (Ptolemy)|Optics]]'' by Ptolemy only survives in a [[Latin translations of the 12th century|Latin translations]] of the Arabic translation of a Greek original.
