History of Mathematics

Assessment branch known as the history of mathematics is the investigation of the origin of discoveries in mathematics and slightly extend, the investigations into the methods and notation of mathematics in the past.Before modern times, and dissemination of knowledge throughout the world, written examples of the development of mathematics has undergone a sheen only in some places. Mathematics oldest writings that have been found are Plimpton 322 (Mathematics of Babylon around 1900 BC), Rhind Mathematical Gazette (Mathematical Egypt around 2000-1800 BC) and the Moscow Mathematical Gazette (Mathematical Egypt around 1890 BC). All writings that discuss the general theorem known as the Pythagorean theorem, which seems to be the development of math's oldest and most widespread after basic arithmetic and geometry.Donations Greek mathematician purifying methods (especially through the introduction of deductive reasoning and mathematical rigor in mathematics dalampembuktian) and the extension the subject of mathematics. The word "mathematics" itself is derived from the ancient Greek word, μάθημα (mathema), which means "subjects". make a contribution of early Chinese mathematics, including positional notation. Hindu-Arabic number system and its operation usage rules, used until now, may be developed by AMFITIL through college in the first millennium AD in the mathematics of India and has been forwarded to the West via the Islamic mathematics. The Mathematics of Islam, in turn, develop and expand knowledge of mathematics to this civilization.  Many Greek and Arabic texts on mathematics and then translated into Latin, which lead to the further development of mathematics in medieval Europe.
From ancient times through the Middle Ages, the explosion of mathematical creativity is often followed by centuries of stagnation. Starting at RenaisansItalia century in the 16th century, the development of new mathematics, interacting with new scientific discoveries, made at the exponential growth that continues today.

Mathematics Prehistoric

The origins of mathematical thought lies in the concept of numbers, quantities, and wake up. Modern assessment of animal fossils show that this concept applies not unique to humans. This concept may also become part of everyday in the herd of hunters. That the concept of numbers developed stage by stage over time is evident in several contemporary languages ​​preserve the distinction between "one", "two", and "many", but the numbers are more than two is not so. The oldest mathematical object known is the Lebombo bone, found in the Lebombo mountains in Swaziland and probably dates from the year 35 000 SM.Tulang contains 29 different nicks who accidentally scratched on baboon fibula bone. There is evidence that women are usually calculated to recall their menstrual cycles; 28 to 30 scratches on bone or stone, followed by a different sign. Well as prehistoric artifacts discovered in Africa and France, from the year 35,000 BC and 20,000 years old, shows an early attempt to calculate the time. Ishango bone, found near the Nile river (northeastern Congo), contains a series of stick-scrawled sign on the three lanes on the bone lengthwise. Common interpretation is that the oldest bones Ishango show show is already known about the sequence of primes or a six-month lunar calendar. Egypt Predinastik period from the 5th millennium BC, graphically displaying geometric designs. It has been recognized that the megalith building in England and Scotland, from the 3rd millennium BC, combines the ideas of geometry such as circles, ellipses, and Pythagorean triples in their design.
