Ptolemaeus 90-168, also known as Claudius Ptolemy, was a renowned Greek mathematician, astronomer, and geographer who lived in the second century AD. His work on astronomy laid the foundation for Western scientific thought for over a thousand years. Ptolemy's most famous work is his astronomical treatise called the Almagest, which presented a comprehensive model of the universe with Earth at its center. Despite being proven incorrect by later astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo, Ptolemy's contributions to science were groundbreaking for his time. In addition to his work in astronomy, Ptolemy also made significant advancements in geography with his book Geographia, which included maps of the known world at that time. His legacy continues to inspire scientists and scholars today as they study the history of science and ancient civilizations.
