Nicomachus

From Freepedia

Nicomachus (c. 60-c. 120) was born in Gerasa, Roman Syria (now Jerash, Jordan). He was a mathematician who wrote about numbers and music. He is best known for his work Introduction to Arithmetic (Arithmetike eisagoge) in Greek, which, among other things, covers perfect numbers. He was a Pythagorean.

Nicomachus was also the name of both Aristotle's father and his son. Historians think the Nicomachean Ethics, a compilation of Aristotle's lecture notes, was probably named after or dedicated to Aristotle's son.
