Claudius Ptolemaeus; (90-168 CE); an Egyptian mathematician, astronomer and geographer.
Ptolemy was born in Alexandria, Egypt but was Greek in his heritage and language; his authority was from the Makedonian (Macedonian) dynasty which traced its roots to Alexander the Great; his name reflects his times in that his first name is Roman and his last name is Greek.
His works include: Mathematike Syntaxis (System of Mathematics) and Geographike Hyphehesis (Geography).
