Nicoteles of Cyrene
text:
Nicoteles of Cyrene was a Greek mathematician from Cyrene. He is mentioned in the preface to Book 4 of the Conics of Apollonius, as criticising Conon concerning the maximum number of points with which a conic section can meet another conic section. Apollonius states that Nicoteles claimed that the case in which a conic section meets opposite sections could be solved, but had not demonstrated how. It is possible that Nicoteles could be a misspelling of Nicomedes.
