Leodamas of Thasos (Ancient Greek: Λεωδάμας ὁ Θάσιος; fl. 4th century BC) was a Greek mathematician and a contemporary of Plato, about whom little is known.
There are two references to Leodamas in Proclus's Commentary on Euclid:
At this time [Plato's time] also lived Leodamas of Thasos, Archytas of Tarentum, and Theaetetus of Athens, by whom the theorems [of geometry] were increased in number and brought into a more scientific arrangement. Younger than Leodamas was Neoclides and his pupil Leon, who added many discoveries.
Plato, it is said, taught this method [analysis] to Leodamas, who is also reported to have made many discoveries in geometry by means of it.
and one in Diogenes Laërtius' Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers, Book 3 (Plato):
He [Plato] was the first to explain to Leodamas of Thasos the method of solving problems by analysis.
