Claudius Ptolemaeus (Ptolemy), fl. AD 139-161, invented the science of trigonometry and improved the method of fixing geographical positions by referring to their latitudes and longitudes. His most famous work, Mathematica Syntaxis, or The System of Mathematics, a work in thirteen books written c. AD151 and knowns as Almageste, a title derived from the Arabic name, al-Kitab-al-Midjisti (The Greatest Book), is a manual of the entire astronomy of the time, including the work of his predecessors, particularly Hipparchus, which has been lost.
Ptolemy deals mainly with the stars, the sun, the mood, and the planets, and omits the comets, which he does not consider part of astronomy. He is also the first to portray the heavens as a geometrically conceived universe.
Mathematica syntaxis was first translated from Greek into Arabic in 827, in the reign of Abbasid Caliph Ma'mum (r.813-833), but the translator is unknown. The first translator from Arabic into Latin was Gerard of Cremona, who completed the work at Toledo in 1175.
