About

Strabo’s Delta refers to two interesting topics for me. Firstly, Strabo (64 or 63 BC – c. AD 24) was a noted geographer who used narratives alongside quantitative assessments to develop vivid and useful descriptions of regions across Europe, Eurasia and North Africa during his lifetime resulting in the map below. Therefore, the Delta refers to the geographic feature as the geographer’s ability to develop informative maps of unknown regions and things. Secondly, Strabo was noted for his ability to understand the relative strengths and weaknesses of regions based on economic, social and environmental factors. In that assessment, I see the ability to understand how things might change i.e. the Delta in math.
