    Extractions: The Sphinx Introduction For tens of thousands of years, Africa was in the center of mathematics history. From the civilizations of southern, central and northern Africa came contributions which would enrich both ancient and modern understanding of nature through math and science (see Map of Africa ). From the measurement used in the African forest kingdoms, and the mathematics used in building the great stone complexes of Zimbabwe, to the efficient irrigation technologies, central administration, and the great accuracy of the dimensions of the pyramids, the achievements of Africans still give rise to wonder. Despite great achievements, there are still negative images of Africa and Africans worlwide (see Misconceptions About Africa ). In opposing these myths, Nwankwo Ezeabasili (1977) argues that African science is "African account of nature and how it works." He goes on to say that "...the black African has an authentic scientific culture." Africans were among the first humans to raise crops and to domesticate cattle 15,000 years ago ( Van Sertima 1984). "...between 17,000 and 18,500 years ago while ice still covered much of Europe - African peoples were already raising crops of wheat, barley, lentils , chick- peas, capers and dates" (

    Extractions: H istory of M athematics in A sia The Passing of Time.... The history of mathematics is a broad subject spanning over 10,000 years. Throughout time, women and men in countless cultures have tried to deal with problems presented by the passing of day and night, the changing seasons of the year, the flooding cycles of major rivers, and so on. In addition, women and men have attempted to group periods of their lifecycle in order to regulate and celebrate important personal, family and community events. T his measurement of time, of the seasons, phases of the moon, blossoming of trees and plants , and so on, led to the development of calendars recorded in oral memory, and later hand-written on cave walls, clay tablets, scrolls, paper, etc. There are a diverse collection of calendars in Asia, the Chinese calendar , the South Asian calendar the Tibetan calendar and so on. From one finger, a fist or a hand; to personal computers and the Internet, the history of math tells us the human story of problems and solutions, and shows us the on-going connection between math and people's lives. Some of the the first drawings and writings discovered, contained matematical concepts. The need to know "how much?" children, animals or other items one had, led to the introduction of measurements; the need to know direction, and the construction of dwellings and agricluture posed problems in geometry. Some of the earliest examples of the development of mathematics in these areas occured in

28. History Of Mathematics - Facets Of India : Ancient And Modern
    The history of Indian Mathematics can be divided into 5 parts, as following. Ancient time is very important in the history of Indian Mathematics.

Please feel free to link the page as it is, including this note, but strictly refrain from copying it as it may result in appropriate legal action. Ganit (Mathematics) has been considered a very important subject since ancient times. We find very elaborate proof of this in Vedah (which were compiled around 6000 BC). The concept of division, addition et-cetera was used even that time. Concepts of zero and infinite were there. We also find roots of algebra in Vedah. When Indian Beez Ganit reached Arab, they called it Algebra. Algebra was name of the Arabic book that described Indian concepts. This knowledge reached to Europe from there. And thus ancient Indian Beez Ganit is currently referred to as Algebra.

    Extractions: SOUTH ASIAN HISTORY Pages from the history of the Indian sub-continent: Science and Mathematics in India History of Mathematics in India In all early civilizations, the first expression of mathematical understanding appears in the form of counting systems. 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.

    Extractions: Every culture on earth has developed some mathematics. In some cases, this mathematics has spread from one culture to another. Now there is one predominant international mathematics, and this mathematics has quite a history. It has roots in ancient Egypt and Babylonia, then grew rapidly in ancient Greece. Mathematics written in ancient Greek was translated into Arabic. About the same time some mathematics of India was translated into Arabic. Later some of this mathematics was translated into Latin and became the mathematics of Western Europe. Over a period of several hundred years, it became the mathematics of the world. There are other places in the world that developed significant mathematics, such as China, southern India, and Japan, and they are interesting to study, but the mathematics of the other regions have not had much influence on current international mathematics. There is, of course, much mathematics being done these and other regions, but it is not the traditional math of the regions, but international mathematics. By far, the most significant development in mathematics was giving it firm logical foundations. This took place in ancient Greece in the centuries preceding Euclid. See
