One postulate developed and accepted by Greek mathematicians was the Parallel Postulate, which stated that given a line and a point not on that line, there is exactly one line through the point that is parallel to the given line. This postulate was crucial in the development of Euclidean geometry. However, it was later discovered that this postulate is not actually necessary for generating consistent geometries, leading to the development of non-Euclidean geometries.

Is math Greek?
I am not sure what you want to know, but surely math is not just Greek. The ancient Greeks made great and fundamental contributions to math , particularly in Geometry and there are modern Greek mathematicians , but the field has expanded exponentially since the heyday of the Greek geometers -excellent mathematicians are now found all over the world. Mathematicians often used Greek letters, but this is only a notational convenience- has nothing to do with the Greek language.

Why do people use Greek symbols in math?

Who used math to determine longitudes and latitudes of the earth?
The concept of using math to determine longitudes and latitudes of the Earth was developed by ancient Greek mathematicians such as Eratosthenes and Hipparchus. However, it was not until the 18th century that accurate methods were developed by astronomers and mathematicians, such as John Harrison and Leonhard Euler, to accurately calculate longitudes and latitudes.
