1. Modern Implications of the mathematical work of Diophantus of Alexandria

2. Without Diophantus… Man I get sick of writing “equal to” over and over again! There would be no = sign

3. Without Diophantus… We wouldn’t have a symbol for a variable in an equation

4. Without Diophantus… ax2 = bx + c We would not have developed the quadratic equation ax2 + c = bx Aax2 + bx = c Much easier!

5. Without Diophantus… There wouldn’t have been Diophantine Equations I don’t know if I could solve it But it sure is cool to look at!

6. The Father of Algebra Thanks Diophantus!!!
