INVENTION OF ADDITION

Addition was invented and formalized mainly by the Chinese more than 6,000 years ago. It is believed that Ancient Egyptians used complex mathematics such as algebra, arithmetic and geometry as far back as 3000 BC, such as equations to approximate the area of circles. Babylonians measured the circumference of a circle as approximately 3 times the diameter, which is fairly close to today’s measurement which uses the value of Pi (around 3.14). Chinese mathematics developed around the 11th century BC and included important concepts related to negative numbers, decimals, algebra and geometry. Greek mathematics developed from around the 7th century BC, producing many important theories thanks to great mathematicians such as Pythagoras, Euclid and Archimedes. The Hindu-Arabic numeral system began developing as early as the 1st century with a full system being established around the 9th century, forming the basis of the numerical digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 that we use t...

HISTORY OF MATHEMATICS

Nature's abacus Soon after language develops, it is safe to assume that humans begin counting - and that fingers and thumbs provide nature's  abacus . The decimal system is no accident. Ten has been the basis of most counting systems in history. When any sort of record is needed, notches in a stick or a stone are the natural solution. In the earliest surviving traces of a counting system, numbers are built up with a repeated sign for each group of 10 followed by another repeated sign for 1. Arithmetic cannot easily develop until an efficient numerical system is in place. This is a late arrival in the story of mathematics, requiring both the concept of  place value and the idea of  zero . As a result, the early history of mathematics is that of geometry and algebra. At their elementary levels the two are mirror images of each other. A number expressed as two squared can also be described as the area of a square with 2 as the length of each side. Equally 2 cubed is th...
