History of mathematics
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Page from The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing by Muhammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī The area of study known as the history of mathematics is primarily an investigation into the origin of discoveries in mathematics and, to a lesser extent, an investigation into the mathematical methods and notation of the past. Before the modern age and the worldwide spread of knowledge, written examples of new mathematical developments have come to light only in a few locales. The most ancient mathematical texts available are Plimpton 322 Babylonian mathematics c. 1900 BC), the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus (Egyptian mathematics c. 2000-1800 BC) and the Moscow Mathematical Papyrus Egyptian mathematics c. 1890 BC). All of these texts concern the so-called Pythagorean theorem , which seems to be the most ancient and widespread mathematical development after basic arithmetic and geometry. The Greek and Hellenistic contribution greatly refined the methods (especially through the introduction of deductive reasoning and mathematical rigor in proofs ) and expanded the subject matter of mathematics.

Historical facts about India
[These facts were recently published in a German Magazine, which deals with World History Facts about India.]
  • India never invaded any country in her last 10000 years of history.
  • India invented the Number System. Zero was invented by Aryabhatta.
  • The World's first university was established in Takshila in 700BC. More than 10,500 students from all over the world studied more than 60 subjects. The University of Nalanda built in the 4th century BC was one of the greatest achievements of ancient India in the field of education.
  • Sanskrit is the mother of all the European languages. Sanskrit is the most suitable language for computer software, reported in Forbes magazine, July 1987.
  • Ayurveda is the earliest school of medicine known to humans. Charaka, the father of medicine consolidated Ayurveda 2500 years ago. Today Ayurveda is fast regaining its rightful place in our civilization.
  • Although modern images of India often show poverty and lack of development, India was the richest country on earth until the time of British invasion in the early 17th Century.
  • The art of Navigation was born in the river Sindh 6000 years ago. The very word Navigation is derived from the Sanskrit word NAVGATIH. The word navy is also derived from Sanskrit 'Nou'.

Arabic mathematics : forgotten brilliance?
Alphabetical list of History Topics History Topics Index
Version for printing
Recent research paints a new picture of the debt that we owe to Arabic/Islamic mathematics. Certainly many of the ideas which were previously thought to have been brilliant new conceptions due to European mathematicians of the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries are now known to have been developed by Arabic/Islamic mathematicians around four centuries earlier. In many respects the mathematics studied today is far closer in style to that of the Arabic/Islamic contribution than to that of the Greeks. There is a widely held view that, after a brilliant period for mathematics when the Greeks laid the foundations for modern mathematics, there was a period of stagnation before the Europeans took over where the Greeks left off at the beginning of the sixteenth century. The common perception of the period of 1000 years or so between the ancient Greeks and the European Renaissance is that little happened in the world of mathematics except that some Arabic translations of Greek texts were made which preserved the Greek learning so that it was available to the Europeans at the beginning of the sixteenth century. That such views should be generally held is of no surprise. Many leading historians of mathematics have contributed to the perception by either omitting any mention of Arabic/Islamic mathematics in the historical development of the subject or with statements such as that made by Duhem in [

European Mathematicians of the Dark Ages. Boethius (475524 A.D.) The importance of Boethius (ca. 475-524) in the story of mathematics rests on the fact that his writings on

European Mathematicians of the Dark Ages Boethius (475-524 A.D.) Bede the Venerable (673-735 A.D.) Bede (ca. 673-735), later qualified as Bede the Venerable was born in Northumberland, England, and became one of the greatest of the medieval Church scholars. His numerous writings include some on mathematical subjects, chief of which are his treatises on the calendar and on finger reckoning.
Alcuin (735-804 A.D.) Alcuin, born in Yorkshire, was another English scholar. He was called to France to assist Charlemagne in his ambitious educational project. Alcuin wrote on a number of mathematical topics and is doubtfully credited with a collection of puzzle problems that influenced textbook writers for many centuries. Gerbert (950-1003 A.D.) Gerbert was born in Auvergne, France, and early showed unusual abilities. He was one of the first Christians to study in the Moslem schools of Spain, and there is evidence that he may have brought back the Hindu-Arabic numerals, without the zero, to Christian Europe. He is said to have constructed abaci, terrestrial and celestial globes, a clock, and perhaps an organ. Such accomplishments corroborated the suspicions of some of his contemporaries that he had traded his soul to the Devil. Nevertheless, he steadily rose in the Church and was finally elected to the papacy in 999 A.D. He was considered as a profound scholar and wrote on astrology, arithmetic and geometry.

Aryabhatta
Aryabhatta is a renowned mathematician and astronomer of ancient India. He was born in 476 AD in Kerala. He studied at the University of Nalanda. One of his major work was Aryabhatiya written in 499 AD. The book dealt with many topics like astronomy, spherical trigonometry, arithmetic, algebra and plane trigonometry. He jotted his inventions in mathematics and astronomy in verse form. The book was translated into Latin in the 13th century. Through the translated Latin version of the Aryabhattiya, the European mathematicians learned how to calculate the areas of triangles, volumes of spheres as well as how to find out the square and cube root.
In the field of astronomy, Aryabhatta was the pioneer to infer that the Earth is spherical and it rotates on its own axis which results in day and night. He even concluded that the moon is dark and shines because of the light of sun. He gave a logical explanation to the theory of solar and lunar eclipses. He declared that eclipses are caused due to the shadows casted by the Earth and the moon. Aryabhatta proposed the geocentric model of the solar system which states that the Earth is in the center of the universe and also laid the foundation for the concept of Gravitation. His propounded methods of astronomical calculations in his Aryabhatta-Siddhatha which was used to make the the Panchanga (Hindu calendar). What Copernicus and Galileo propounded was suggested by Aryabhatta nearly 1500 years ago.

If you have heard of the golden mean, or the golden ratio, then you probably already know that Fibonacci was the name of one of the greatest European mathematicians of the middle ages. His fame, as related to the stock market, comes from a series of numbers that he is associated with. The series looks like this: This series continues on forever. The series is formed by taking the previous number and adding it to the current number to get the next number in the series.
