Thales was born in Miletus, Turkey in 624 BC. He lived in Pre-Socratic times and is known as Thales of Miletus. Thales was and still is one of the most recognized figures in the history of mathematics. He thought to be the true father of Greek math, science, and even the study of the fundamental nature of knowledge. Considering the impact of Greek alterations in these changes, Thales may be the father of changes for Greece and for the world in general. There is not much known about him due to the loss of records. However, Thales had traveled early in life to Egypt and Babylon. During this time he got to know astronomy and geometry very well. From his involvement in these things. He was able to craft his own discoveries. He discovered deductive mathematics which helped shape theories of logic math. He developed the revolutionary concept called Thales theorem. It became known and It noted that there are three points in a circle: A, B, and C. there were several other creative and innovative theorems that Thales would be credited with discovering but they are not thought to be anything sophisticated because of today's advanced mathematics.
