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

Mathematics in China Table of Contents A brief outline of the history of Chinese mathematics Chronology of Mathematicians and Mathematical Works On-line References Bibliography ... Menubar access to other pages A brief outline of the history of Chinese mathematics Primary sources are Mikami's The Development of Mathematics in China and Japan and Li Yan and Du Shiran's Chinese Mathematics, a Concise History . See the bibliography below. Numerical notation, arithmetical computations, counting rods Traditional decimal notation one symbol for each of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 100, 1000, and 10000. Ex. 2034 would be written with symbols for 2,1000,3,10,4, meaning 2 times 1000 plus 3 times 10 plus 4. Goes back to origins of Chinese writing. Calculations performed using small bamboo counting rods. The positions of the rods gave a decimal place-value system, also written for long-term records. digit was a space. Arranged left to right like Arabic numerals. Back to 400 B.C.E. or earlier. Addition: the counting rods for the two numbers placed down, one number above the other. The digits added (merged) left to right with carries where needed. Subtraction similar.

29. Constructive Mathematics Constructive mathematics is distinguished from its traditional counterpart, classical mathematics, by the strict interpretation of the phrase `there exists' as `we can construct'. In order to work constructively, we need to reinterpret not only the existential quantifier but all the logical connectives and quantifiers as instructions on how to construct a proof of the statement involving these logical expressions.

Introduction Before mathematicians assert something (other than an axiom) they are supposed to have proved it true. What, then, do mathematicians mean when they assert a disjunction P Q , where P and Q P Q hold, but also we can decide which one holds. Thus just as mathematicians will assert that P only when they have decided that P by proving it, they may assert P Q P or decide (prove) that Q With this interpretation, however, mathematicians run into a serious problem in the special case where Q P , of P P is to show that P implies a contradiction (such as 0=1). But it will often be that mathematicians have neither decided that P P . To see this, we need only reflect on the following:

37. Math Humor From Platonic Realms Jokes, puns, and limericks having to do with mathematics. Also provides a link to the math humor ebook, Nowhere Dense. Content changes daily. http://www.mathacademy.com/pr/humor/index.asp

Heard any good ones lately? Send your funniest to humor@mathacademy.com A mathematician, an engineer, and a physicist all agree: Platonic Realms cooks up new jokes, puns, and limericks every day! Joke o'the Day: One evening Rene Descartes was relaxing at a local tavern. The bartender approached and said, "Ah, good evening Monsieur Descartes! The usual tonight?" Descartes replied, "I think not," and promptly vanished. A Lame One: What's the sound that trees make? Logarithms! Poetry Corner: When I set k equal to 0, I can be a mathematical hero: If I should decide By k to divide, Then it's clear that 1 = 0. Screwing the Bulb: How many numerical analysists does it take to screw in a lightbulb? 0.9967 (after six iterations). Say, just what is NOWHERE DENSE? Glad you asked! Nowhere Dense is the Platonic Realms e-book compendium of math humor. Really? What's in it? Nearly 40 pages of jokes, puns, limericks, and many things that don't appear on this page, such as Excuse Theory , the Pejorative Calculus , and Strange Proofs How can I get a download copy?
