In modern usage they are the study of number in this context.
The Quadrivium! :)
Hypatia's field of science was mathematics and astronomy. She was a renowned mathematician and astronomer in ancient Alexandria, known for her contributions to geometry and her teachings in philosophy.
No, Eratosthenes did not write "Elements" about plane geometry. He is known for his work in fields such as geography and astronomy, particularly his calculation of the Earth's circumference. The "Elements" was a mathematical work by Euclid that focused on geometry.
Hypatia also studied mathematics and philosophy. She made substantial contributions to these fields, particularly in geometry and algebra.
Galileo taught primarily mathematics, physics, and astronomy. His teaching and research focused on topics such as the motion of objects, the nature of the universe, and the use of the telescope for astronomical observations.
Arithmetic, Geometry, Music, and Astronomy
It consisted of arithmetic music, astronomy, and geometry.

The Quadrivium! :)
The humanities consisted of seven courses of studies. The trivium was grammar, logic, and rhetoric; and the quadrivium was arithmetic, geometry, astronomy and music theory.
The essential part of Greek education that required students to study arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy was known as the Quadrivium. This curriculum focused on developing a well-rounded education in mathematical and scientific disciplines essential for a comprehensive understanding of the world.
Check out the Wikipedia entry on "liberal arts," an excerpt of which is copied below:Martianus Capella (5th century AD) defines the seven Liberal Arts as grammar, dialectic, rhetoric and geometry, arithmetic, astronomy, music. In the medieval Western university, the seven liberal arts were: * the Trivium # grammar # rhetoric # logic * the Quadrivium # geometry # arithmetic # music # astronomy
The three disciplines that comprised the trivium were grammar, logic, and rhetoric. They prepared students for the quadrivium, which consisted of arithmetic, geometry, music theory, and astronomy (which was largely astrology).
Algebra, although their contributions to arithmetic and geometry, as well as astronomy, were very significant.
The medieval Universities of Western Europe focused on what were called the seven liberal arts. Three of these made up the trivium, which was grammar, logic, and rhetoric. The other four constituted the quadrivium, which consisted of arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, and music theory. Advanced programs typically focused on law, medicine, and theology.

They developed several kinds of mathematics, Astronomy, and geometry
They are both adjectives. The first relates to geometry and the second to arithmetic.
