•
Geometric reasoning used to measure distances indirectly.
• Calendars invented to predict seasons, astronomical events.
• Geometrical forms and patterns appear in art and a rchitecture.

4. Practical Mathematics
As ancient civilizations developed, the
need for practical mathematics
increased. They required numeration
systems and arithmetic techniques for
trade, measurement strategies for
construction, and astronomical
calculations to track the seasons and
cosmic cycles.

5. Babylonian Numerals
The Babylonian Tablet Plimpton 322
This mathematical tablet was recovered from an unknown place in the Iraqi
desert. It was written originally sometime around 1800 BC. The tablet
presents a list of Pythagorean triples written in Babyl onian numerals. This
numeration system uses only two symbols and a base of sixty .

A
The first mathematical system based on postulates, theorems and proofs
appears in Euclid's Elements
.

8. Mathematics and Greek Philosophy
Greek philosophers viewed the universe in mathematical ter ms. Plato
described five elements that form the world and relate d them to the five
regular polyhedra.

11. Hindu-Arabian Period (200 B.C. to 1250 A.D. )
A.Development and Spread of Hindu-Arabic Numbers
A
A numeration system using base 10, positional notation, the zero symbol
and powerful arithmetic techniques is developed by the Hin dus, approx. 150
B.C. to 800 A.D..
A
The Hindu numeration system is adopted by the Arabs and spr ead
throughout their sphere of influence (approx. 700 A.D. to 12 50 A.D.).
B. Preservation of Greek Mathematics

C. Development of Algebra and Trigonometry
A
Arab mathematicians find methods of solution for quadratic, cubic and
higher degree polynomial equations. The English word “alg ebra” is derived
from the title of an Arabic book describing these method s.
A
Hindu trigonometry, especially sine tables, is improved and advanced by
Arab mathematicians

Islamic world. Islamic world.

13. Islamic Astronomy and Science Many of the sciences developed from
needs to fulfill the rituals and duties of
Muslim worship. Performing formal prayers
requires that a Muslim faces Mecca. To
find Mecca from any part of the globe,
Muslims invented the compass and
developed the sciences of geography and
geometry.
Prayer and fasting require knowing the
times of each duty. Because these times
are marked by astronomical phenomena,
the science of astronomy underwent a
major development.

14. Al-Khwarizmi
Abu Abdullah Muhammad bin Musa al-
Khwarizmi, c. 800 A.D. was a Persian
mathematician, scientist, and author.
He worked in Baghdad and wrote all his
works in Arabic.
He developed the concept of an
algorithm in mathematics. The words
"algorithm" and "algorism" derive
ultimately from his name. His ultimately from his name. His systematic and logical approach to
solving linear and quadratic equations
gave shape to the discipline of algebra,
a word that is derived from the name of
his book on the subject, Hisab al-jabr
wa al-muqabala
(“al-jabr” became
“algebra”).
He was also instrumental in promoting
the Hindu-arabic numeration system.

15. Evolution of Hindu-Arabic
Numerals

16. A. Discovery of Greek and Hindu-Arab mathematics
• Greek mathematics texts are translated from Arabic into Latin;
Greek ideas about logic, geometrical reasoning, and a
rational view of the world are re-discovered.
• Arab works on algebra and trigonometry are also transl ated
into Latin and disseminated throughout Europe.
Period of Transmission (1000 AD –1500 AD)
into Latin and disseminated throughout Europe.
B. Spread of the Hindu-Arabic numeration system
• Hindu-Arabic numerals slowly spread over Europe
• Pen and paper arithmetic algorithms based on Hindu-Arabic
numerals replace the use the abacus.

17. Leonardo of Pisa
From Leonardo of Pisa’s famous book Liber Abaci
(1202 A.D.):
"These are the nine figures of the Indians: 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1.
With these nine figures, and with this sign 0 which in A rabic is
called zephirum, any number can be written, as will be
demonstrated."

19. Rediscovery of Greek Geometry
Luca Pacioli (1445 - 1514), a
Franciscan friar and
mathematician, stands at a
table filled with geometrical
tools (slate, chalk, compass,
dodecahedron model, etc.), dodecahedron model, etc.), illustrating a theorem from
Euclid, while examining a
beautiful glass
rhombicuboctahedron half-
filled with water.

20. Pacioli and Leonardo Da Vinci
Luca Pacioli's 1509 book The Divine Proportion
was illustrated by
Leonardo Da Vinci.
Shown here is a drawing of an icosidodecahedron and an "elevated"
form of it. For the elevated forms, each face is augmente d with a
pyramid composed of equilateral triangles.

21. Early Modern Period (1450 A.D. –1800 A.D.)
A. Trigonometry and Logarithms
• Publication of precise trigonometry tables, improv ement of surveying
methods using trigonometry, and mathematical analysis of
trigonometric relationships. (approx. 1530 – 1600)
• Logarithms introduced by Napier in 1614 as a calcu lation aid. This
advances science in a manner similar to the introdu ction of the
computer.
B. Symbolic Algebra and Analytic Geometry
•
Development of symbolic algebra, principally by the French
•
Development of symbolic algebra, principally by the French mathematicians Viete and Descartes
• The cartesian coordinate system and analytic geometry developed by
Rene Descartes and Pierre Fermat (1630 – 1640)
C. Creation of the Calculus
• Calculus co-invented by Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz. Major
ideas of the calculus expanded and refined by other s, especially the
Bernoulli family and Leonhard Euler. (approx. 1660 – 1750).
• A powerful tool to solve scientific and engineerin g problems, it opened
the door to a scientific and mathematical revolutio n.

22. Viète and Symbolic Algebra
In his influential treatise In Artem
Analyticam Isagoge(Introduction
to the Analytic Art, published
in1591) Viète demonstrated the
value of symbols. He suggested
using letters as symbols for
quantities, both known and
unknown. unknown.

1540-1603

23. Napier’s Logarithms
John Napier
In his Mirifici Logarithmorum
Canonis descriptio(1614) the
Scottish nobleman John Napier
introduced the concept of
logarithms as an aid to
calculation.
John Napier 1550-1617

24. Kepler and the Platonic Solids
Johannes Kepler
1571-1630
Kepler’s first attempt to describe
planetary orbits used a model of
nested regular polyhedra
(Platonic solids).

25. Newton’s Principia
–Kepler’s Laws
“Proved”
Isaac Newton
1642 - 1727
Newton’s Principia Mathematica (1687) presented, in the style of
Euclid’s Elements
, a mathematical
theory for celestial motions due to the
force of gravity. The laws of Kepler
were “proved” in the sense that they
followed logically from a set of basic
postulates.

26. Newton’s Calculus
Newton developed the main
ideas of his calculus in private
as a young man. This research
was closely connected to his
studies in physics. Many years
later he published his results to
establish priority for himself as establish priority for himself as inventor the calculus.
Newton’s Analysis Per
Quantitatum Series, Fluxiones, Ac Differentias
, 1711, describes
his calculus.

27. Leibniz’s Calculus
Gottfied Leibniz
Leibniz and Newton independently
developed the calculus during the
same time period. Although Newton’s
version of the calculus led him to his
great discoveries, Leibniz’s concepts
and his style of notation form the
basis of modern calculus.

1684 article in the journal Acta
eruditorum.

28. Leonhard Euler
Leonhard Euler was of the generation that followed
Newton and Leibniz. He made contributions to
almost every field of mathematics and was the
most prolific mathematics writer of all time.
His trilogy, Introductio in analysin infinitorum ,
Institutiones calculi differentialis
, and
Institutiones

, and
Institutiones
calculi integralismade the function a central part of
calculus. Through these works, Euler had a deep
influence on the teaching of mathematics. It has
been said that all calculus textbooks since 1748
are essentially copies of Euler or copies of copies
of Euler.
Euler’s writing standardized modern mathematics
notation with symbols such as:
f(x), e,
p
,i and
∑
.

1707 - 1783

29. Modern Period (1800 A.D. –Present)
A. Non-Euclidean Geometry
• Gauss, Lobachevsky, Riemann and others develop alternatives to Euclidean geometry
in the 19th century.
• The new geometries inspire modern theories of higher dimensional spaces, gravitation,
space curvature and nuclear physics.
B. Set Theory
• Cantor studies infinite sets and defines transfinite num bers
• Set theory used as a theoretical foundation for all o f mathematics
C. Statistics and Probability C. Statistics and Probability
• Theories of probability and statistics are develop ed to solve numerous practical
applications, such as weather prediction, polls, me dical studies etc.; they are also used
as a basis for nuclear physics
D. Computers
• Development of electronic computer hardware and software solves many previously
unsolvable problems; opens new fields of mathematical research.
E. Mathematics as a World-Wide Language
• The Hindu-Arabic numeration system and a common set of mathematical symbols are
used and understood throughout the world.
• Mathematics expands into many branches and is created and shared world-wide at an
ever-expanding pace; it is now too large to be mast ered by a single mathematician
