Numbers in very early societies were typically represented by groups of lines, though later different numbers came to be assigned specific numeral names and symbols (as in India) or were designated by alphabetic letters (such as in Rome). Although today, we take our decimal system for granted, not all ancient civilizations based their numbers on a ten-base system. In ancient Babylon, a sexagesimal (base 60) system was in use. The Decimal System in Harappa In India a decimal system was already in place during the Harappan period, as indicated by an analysis of Harappan weights and measures. Weights corresponding to ratios of 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, and 500 have been identified, as have scales with decimal divisions. A particularly notable characteristic of Harappan weights and measures is their remarkable accuracy. A bronze rod marked in units of 0.367 inches points to the degree of precision demanded in those times. Such scales were particularly important in ensuring proper implementation of town planning rules that required roads of fixed widths to run at right angles to each other, for drains to be constructed of precise measurements, and for homes to be constructed according to specified guidelines. The existence of a gradated system of accurately marked weights points to the development of trade and commerce in Harappan society.

Search Maria Gaetana Agnesi May 16, 1718 - January 9, 1799 Written by Elif Unlu, Class of 1995 (Agnes Scott College) Even though her contribution to mathematics are very important, Maria Gaetana Agnesi was not a typical famous mathematician. She led a quite simple life and she gave up mathematics very early. At first glance her life may seem to be boring, however, considering the circumstances in which she was raised, her accomplishments to mathematics are glorious. Enjoy! During the Middle Ages, under the influence of Christendom, many European countries were opposed to any form of higher education for females. Women were mostly deprived from the fundamental elements of education, such as reading and writing, claiming that these were a source of temptation and sin. For the most part, learning was confined to monasteries and nunneries which constituted the only opportunity for education open to girls during the Middle Ages. After the fall of Constantinople (today Istanbul), many scholars migrated to Rome, bringing Europe knowledge and critical thinking, which in turn gave rise to the Renaissance. However, except in Italy, the status of women throughout Europe changed very slowly. In Italy, however, where the Renaissance had its origin, women made their mark on the academic world. Intellectual women were admired by men, they were never ridiculed for being intellectual and educated. This attitude enabled Italian women to participate in arts, medicine, literature, and mathematics. Among many others, Maria Gaetana Agnesi was by far one of the most important and extraordinary figure in mathematics during the 18th century.

Home About Math Books Table of Contents ... 10 Remarkable Female Mathematicians Posted by Jessica Cangiano in History Suggested Reading 13 responses Hypatia of Alexandria (AD 350 to 370 – 415): Born nearly 17 centuries ago, Hypatia of Alexandria was a brazen, highly intelligent woman who excelled in the fields of science, math and philosophy, which at the time (and for hundreds upon hundreds of years further) were seen squarely as the domain of men. Hypatia’s foremost teacher was her father, Theon Alexandricus, a mathematician and philosopher, who she would later go on to contribute to several mathematical works with. Hypatia herself was a teacher, as well as being the inventor of the hydrometer. Though she forged ahead in a time when women were all but ignored in the realm of mathematics, this bright Greek woman eventually met with a tragic death when her chariot was attacked and she was brutally murdered by a gang of Christians. Though her life was cut short, while she was alive, through her accomplishments, Hypatia was able lay the groundwork for future female pioneers of mathematics.

38. Loo-Keng Hua And Abdul Kalam - Examples Of Success Of Formula "1-2-3" Leading Asian mathematicians and scientists like LooKeng Hua, China's http://dapmalaysia.org/all-archive/English/2002/nov02/lks/lks1921.htm

http://dapmalaysia.org Leading Asian mathematicians and scientists like Loo-Keng Hua, China’s “Father of modern mathematics” and Abdul Kalam, India’s “Father of Missile Technology”, best examples that the route to academic excellence is through grounding of science and mathematics in mother-tongue in early years followed by proficiency of English language Media Statement by Lim Kit Siang (Petaling Jaya, Saturday) The Cabinet next Wednesday should seriously consider the DAP’s “Formula 1-2-3” as the route to academic excellence for Malaysian students in mathematics, science and English and to build up the country’s international competitiveness in the era of globalization, liberalization and information and communications technology. Formula “1-2-3”, which is a three-pronged objective to firstly, raise English proficiency, secondly, maintain high mathematics and science standards and thirdly, preserve mother-tongue proficiency, is the most sensible and sound education policy to pursue for a multi-racial, multi-lingual, multi-cultural and multi-religious society like Malaysia. I had previously cited the examples of Nobel Science Laureates, like the 1998 Nobel Laureate in physics, Daniel Tsui Chye, the 1986 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry Yuan T. Lee, and the other Nobel Laureates in Physics Samuel C.C. Ting (1976), Chen Ning Yang (1957) and Tsung-Dao Lee (1957) who achieved academic excellence and international renown because they had their earlier grounding in mathematics and science in their mother-languages in primary and secondary education, subsequenhtly acquiring English proficiency.
