:
How did mathematics come about? Where did it first start? For many who are well versed in the origins of mathematical understanding, the evolution of mathematics will reveal itself to an unending and ever-improving (and growing) set of expressions of subject matter.
The first abstraction, which many animals share with us, are numbers. What do I mean by that? Well, the comprehension that a decided number [url=http://www.davidhabchy.com]barbour sale[/url] of objects such as 2 trees and 2 bananas are similar in their allotment.This ability to recognise allotment [url=http://www.1855sacramento.com/woolrich.php]woolrich parka[/url] and recurrences of allotment is often considered to be the first abstraction. A [url=http://www.thehygienerevolution.com/barbour.php]barbour paris[/url] step up from the first abstraction the ability to consider and to percieve abstract non-physical quantities such as time and elementary arithmetic. One does not have to see actually see [url=http://www.rtnagel.com/louboutin.php]louboutin[/url] that 3 objects subtracted from 4 objects is 1 object. From there, it is only natural that subtraction, multiplication and division began.
In fact, arithmetic precedes written script and communication and there are records of basic methods [url=http://www.lcdmo.com/jordanpascher.php]air jordan pas cher[/url] of counting including knotted strings or tallies. Numerical systems go as far back as the Egyptians and Ancient Chinese. They were used for everything from daily life (painting, weaving, recording time) to more intricate arithmetic that involved arithmetic, geometry and algebra for financial considerations such as taxation, trading, construction and time. On the subject of time, this was often based on astronomy as well.
The ancient Egyptians and [url=http://www.achbanker.com/home.php]hollister[/url] Babylonians were adept at utilizing mathematics and it is actually thought that the pyramids were more than the tombs of ancient kings long dead; the pyramids were also the initial computers. It was said the parameters and alignment of the pyramids assisted the ancients in conducting complicated calculations much like how we might use a [url=http://www.sandvikfw.net/shopuk.php]hollister sale[/url] log table before the widespread use of calculators. But where did the actual academic study of math begin? Arithmetic as we know it with geometry, vectors, differentiation, integration, mechanics, sequences, trigonometry, proability, binomials, estimation, hypothesis testing, geometric and exponential distributions and [url=http://www.1855sacramento.com/peuterey.php]peuterey[/url] hyperbolic functions (to name a few off the top of my head) began in primitive Greece as far back between 600 BC to 300 BC.
From it's humble beginnings of tied knots, arithmetic has been pushed into science and has been of great benefit to both fields of study. In fact, it is said that he who does not know mathematics cannot fully understand the beauty of nature. I would go so far as to say that there is no truth without math. Anything [url=http://www.maximoupgrade.com/hot.php]hollister[/url] without a number is merely an opinion. What we [url=http://www.jordanpascherofficiel.com]air jordan[/url] analyze qualitative measurements are really quantitative ones that have exceeded a certain threshold after which we impart a decided label. For example, when we say a drug works, what we really mean is that 70% of people who [url=http://www.davidhabchy.com]barbour outlet[/url] were administered a certain dosage of the drug over a specific period of time experienced perhaps 90% reduction in the severity of their symptoms. Our threshold of saying that "a drug works" is therefore, 70%.
To give you an idea of how the world of mathematics has amplified in recent [url=http://www.rtnagel.com/airjordan.php]jordan pas cher[/url] years, I shall finish this article with a quote from the Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society:
"The number of papers and books included in the Mathematical Reviews database since 1940 (the first year of operation of MR) is now more than 1.9 million, and more than 75,000 items are added to the database per year. The overwhelming majority of works in this ocean contain new mathematical theorems and their proofs" - Mikhail B. Sevryuk,
