Which Greek physician is known as the Father of Medicine?
534790
Hippocrates was a Greek physician born in 460 BC on the island of Cos, Greece. He became known as the founder of medicine and was regarded as the greatest physician of his time. He based his medical practice on observations and on the study of the human body. He held the belief that illness had a physical and a rational explanation. He rejected the views of his time that considered illness to be caused by superstitions and by possession of evil spirits and disfavor of the gods.\n\nHippocrates held the belief that the body must be treated as a whole and not just a series of parts. He accurately described disease symptoms and was the first physician to accurately describe the symptoms of pneumonia, as well as epilepsy in children. He believed in the natural healing process of rest, a good diet, fresh air and cleanliness. He noted that there were individual differences in the severity of disease symptoms and that some individuals were better able to cope with their disease and illness than others. He was also the first physician that held the belief that thoughts, ideas, and feelings come from the brain and not the heart as others of him time believed.\n\nHippocrates traveled throughout Greece practicing his medicine. He founded a medical school on the island of Cos, Greece and began teaching his ideas. He soon developed an Oath of Medical Ethics for physicians to follow. This Oath is taken by physicians today as they begin their medical practice. He died in 377 BC. Today Hippocrates is known as the "Father of Medicine".\n\nDesigned by: Josephine Delvey

Αρματολός από τις σημαντικότερες μορφές της Επανάστασης του 1821. Γεννήθηκε στο Σούλι το 1790. Ήταν γιος του Κίτσου Μπότσαρη και βοήθησε τον πατέρα του εναντίον του Αλή πασά. Τον Οκτώβρη του 1820 με 300 σουλιώτες κατέλαβε το Σούλι και την Κιάφα. Με 200 ιππείς, διέλυσε τουρκική εφοδιοπομπή στους Κομψιάδες και έστειλε τρόφιμα στο Σούλι. Ακολούθησε η  μάχη στα Πέντε Πηγάδια, όπου απέκρουσε 5.000 Αλβανούς. Στη συνέχεια νίκησε στη Ρηγάσα, στους Βαρνάδες, στους Δραμασούς, στην Πλάκα, στην Άρτα και αλλού. Παρά την πρόοδο της Επανάστασης στην Ελλάδα, το Σούλι απειλούταν από τα στρατεύματα του Κουρσίτ πασά. Εκστρατευτικό σώμα με επικεφαλής τον Μαυροκορδάτο, που στάλθηκε είχε ατυχή κατάληξη. Μετά από σκληρό πόλεμο στην Πλάκα (30 Ιουνίου του 1820) άνοιξε δρόμο ανάμεσα στις τουρκικές φάλαγγες, αλλά δεν κατόρθωσε να αποτρέψει την καταστροφή στη μάχη του Πέτα. Έτσι το Σούλι παραδόθηκε στις 28 Ιουλίου 1822 και ο Μάρκος κατέφυγε στο Μεσολόγγι. Στις 9 Αυγούστου 1823 επιτέθηκε με 350 Σουλιώτες στην εμπροσθοφυλακή του Μουσταήλ πασά. Οι Τούρκοι βρέθηκαν απροετοίμαστοι και πανικοβλήθηκαν, όμως στη μάχη αυτή σκοτώθηκε ο Μάρκος Μπότσαρης.

Benjamin Franklin but a lot of scientists contributed in the discovery. It all started 600 BC with the greeks followed by Dr William Gilbert,Benjamin Franklin,Galvani and Volta,Michael Faraday,Thomas Edison and Joseph Swan,George Westinghouse and Nikola Tesla,James Watt and finally Andre Ampere and George Ohm

Yes.  Physics is the science of the physical world, of natural bodies.  Physicians are those who heal the natural body of the person.

Your namesake, Aristotle.  He laid the foundation for Western thought and philosophy that freed the mind of mankind.  All of us in the West today still enjoy the benefits of his discourses.

Also called:Galen of Pergamum (Scientist)\n\nMany of Galen's writings in clear Attic Greek survive, making him the major influence on European medicine until the Renaissance. His primary contribution was to have carefully dissected and observed many mammals, including Barbary apes but apparently not including humans, and to have accurately (for the most part) described such structures as the nervous system, the heart, the kidneys, and so forth. His philosophical bent was that God has designed living creatures to function perfectly and that study of these creatures reveals God's purpose. Although Galen was more Stoic than Christian, this attitude helped maintain the popularity of his works throughout the Christian world of the Middle Ages. For the next 1400 years, Galen's ideas -- many correct, others incorrect -- were considered infallible.

Euclid of Alexandria (Greek: Εὐκλείδης) (ca. 325 BC–265 BC), a Greek mathematician, who lived in Alexandria, Egypt almost certainly during the reign of Ptolemy I (323 BC–283 BC), is often considered to be the "father of geometry". \nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclid\n\nIt seems Euclid is the father, by general consent! -\nhttp://mathforum.org/library/drmath/view/52508.html\n\nEuclid, who is considered the father of mathematics, taught in Egypt at Alexandria.\nhttp://everyschool.org/u/logan/culturalmath/afmathematicians.htm\n\nPythagoras (approximately 582 BC–507 BC, Greek: Πυθαγόρας) was an Ionian (Greek) mathematician and philosopher, founder of the mystic, religious and scientific society called Pythagoreans, and is known best for the Pythagorean theorem which bears his name.

(m)\n\nHemophilia was recognized, though not named, in ancient times. The Talmud, a collection of Jewish Rabbinical writings from the 2nd century AD, stated that male babies did not have to be circumcised if two brothers had already died from the procedure.\n\nThe Arab physician Albucasis, who lived in the 12th century, wrote of a family whose males died of bleeding after minor injuries.\n\nThen, in 1803, a Philadelphia physician named Dr. John Conrad Otto wrote an account of "a hemorrhagic disposition existing in certain families". He recognized that the condition was hereditary and affected males. He traced the disease back through three generations to a woman who had settled near Plymouth, New Hampshire, in 1720.\n\nThe word "hemophilia" first appears in a description of the condition written by Hopff at the University of Zurich in 1828.

The father of algebra is Al Khwarizmi.\n \nHe wrote the first book on algebra. (The name "algebra" was first used by him.) Al Khwarizmi was born about 790 in Baghdad (now in Iraq) and died about 850.\n\nThe word for "Algebra" comes from the Arabic word for "al-jabr" which means "restoration of balance" in both sides of an equation.. Algebra was based on previous work from Greeks, Alexandrians in Egypt, and Hindus who had preserved the work from ancient Egyptians and Babylonians.\n\nIn the ninth century, al-Khwarizmi wrote one of the first Arabic algebras with both proofs and examples. Because of his work, he is called "the Father of Algebra." Al-Khwarizmi was a Persian born in the eighth century. He converted (changed) Babylonian and Hindu numerals into a workable system that almost anyone could use. He gave the name to his math as "al-jabr" which we know as "algebra".\n\nA Latin translation of al-Khwarizmi's book on algebra appeared in Europe in the 12th century. In the early 13th century the new algebra appeared in the writings of the famous Italian mathematician, Leonardo Fibonacci. So, algebra was brought into Europe from ancient Babylon, Egypt and India by the Arabs and then into Italy.

All previous answers are wrong. Aristotle is credited with being the first scientist, because he used observation rather than unverifiable references. Mind you, the progress was halting. Even he still detected "anima" in frogs, as some sort of soul. The whole concept of purely using observation had not really sunk in. However, he is generally credited...\n\n\nSupport novel transit solutions: http://www.hallisystem.bravehost.com
