To say that "Apollonius lived toward the end of the hellenistic period" seems to me misleading. The hellenistic period goes from the rise of Alexander to the death of Cleopatra. Therefore Apollonius was right in the middle. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.28.55.45 ( talk) 03:52, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
Do we really want so much about St. John's College in an article on Apollonius? E.g., do we need to know that they lost their accreditation in 1936? I'm talking about this passage:

As one of the most historically important mathematics books, it seems to me like Conics deserves its own article, just as we have separate articles for Euclid and Elements. It's good to have a solid summary here, but at some level of detail it starts to distract from the subject of Apollonius himself, so having that topic hosted as a section here makes it harder to add material about individual important theorems within, its historical influence, etc. that starts to seem out of scope for an article about the person of Apollonius. – jacobolus (t) 04:59, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
The Astrolabe article mentions Apollonius as the inventor of the instrument. But no mention of it here. Could maybe someone add it? Thanks. 2600:1700:1C64:8240:3D5F:3F0D:1558:A2A8 ( talk) 07:42, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
