2. What is Mathematics? Mathematics is the study of numbers, shapes and patterns. The word comes from the Greek word "μάθημα" (máthema), meaning "science, knowledge, or learning". PRESENTATION TITLE

3. It is also a study of relationships among quantities, magnitude and properties, and of logical operations by which unknown quantities, magnitudes, and properties may be deduced. Historically, it was regarded as the science of quantity, whether of magnitudes (as in geometry) or of numbers (as in arithmetic) or of the generalization of these two fields (as in algebra). PRESENTATION TITLE

4. Prehistoric Mathematics The history of mathematics is nearly as old as humanity itself. It has evolved from simple counting, measurement and calculation, and the systematic study of the shapes and motions of physical objects The application of abstraction, imagination and logic, to the broad, complex and often abstract discipline we know today.

7. Pre-dynastic Egyptians and Sumerians R epresented geometric designs on their artifact as early as the 5th millennium BCE, as did some megalithic societies in northern Europe in the 3rd millennium BCE or before. PRESENTATION TITLE

8. Mathematics proper initially developed for bureaucratic needs when civilizations settled and developed agriculture T he measurement of plots of land, the taxation of individuals, T his first occurred in the Sumerian and Babylonian civilizations of Mesopotamia (roughly, modern Iraq) and in ancient Egypt. PRESENTATION TITLE

9. Stonehenge a Neolithic ceremonial and astronomical monument in England, which dates from around 2300 BCE, also arguably exhibits examples of the use of 60 and 360 in the circle measurements, a practice which presumably developed quite independently of the sexagesimal counting system of the ancient Sumerian and Babylonians.

10. Sumerian/Babylonian Mathematics T he birthplace of writing, the wheel, agriculture, the arch, the plow, irrigation and many other innovations, and is often referred to as the Cradle of Civilization. The Sumerians developed the earliest known writing system – a pictographic writing system known as cuneiform script PRESENTATION TITLE

12. Babylonians used geometric shapes The Babylonians used geometric shapes in their buildings and design and in dice for the leisure games which were so popular in their society, such as the ancient game of backgammon. Their geometry extended to the calculation of the areas of rectangles, triangles and trapezoids, as well as the volumes of simple shapes such as bricks and cylinders (although not pyramids). devises via internet and regular telephones. PRESENTATION TITLE

13. Plimpton 322 clay tablet The famous and controversial Plimpton 322 clay tablet, believed to date from around 1800 BCE, suggests that the Babylonians may well have known the secret of right- angled triangles (that the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the square of the other two sides) many centuries before the Greek Pythagoras. The tablet appears to list 15 perfect Pythagorean triangles with whole number sides, although some claim that they were merely academic exercises, and not deliberate manifestations of Pythagorean triples.
