Uma abordagem histórica e combinatória do Stomachion

Abstract

The present bibliographic research aimed to present the Stomachion in this combinatorial historicity. To establish the objectives, it was based on the studies of the most diverse researchers in the history of mathematics and studies of combinatorics, having as main basis the works of RevielNetz and his team making references to other works by other authors. For a long time there was a notion that Greek mathematics had not developed into the field of discrete mathematics with combinatorial study. With more recent research it became clear the existence of works in the area, in this case the work of the mathematician Arquimedes of Siracusa on the game Stomachion. To affirm the existence of such a link, it was necessary to study the Stomachion tract in codex c, a palimpsest of sentences that has several works by Archimedes, translating it with the proper context, and then after understanding the objective of the treaty to establish minimum requirements for so with the compliments of each reaching a concise conclusion, Archimedes was the first mathematician to work with combinatorial analysis.
