Origins of greek mathematics

Hello lovely poeple, today I shall tell you the history of Mathematics! :)

Did you know, there are several histories of mathematics! shocking, I know. I'm gonna tell you guys about the origins of Greek mathematics.

The earliest advanced civilizations in the country of Greece and in Europe were the Minoan and later Mycenean civilization, both of which flourished during the 2nd millennium BC. While these civilizations possessed writing and were capable of advanced engineering, including four-story palaces with drainage and beehive tombs, they left behind no mathematical documents.

Though no direct evidence is available, it is generally thought that the neighboring Babylonian and Egyptian civilizations had an influence on the younger Greek tradition.[2] Between 800 BC and 600 BC Greek mathematics generally lagged behind Greek literature,[clarification needed] and there is very little known about Greek mathematics from this period—nearly all of which was passed down through later authors, beginning in the mid-4th century BC.

That is all for now, wait for the next installment of THE ORIGINS OF GREEK MATHEMATICS BY ALIA!! :)

Maths Riddles

Some Maths Riddles that you could try so get your thinking caps on (:

1) How can you add eight 8's to get the number 1,000? (only use addition)

2) What weighs more - a pound of iron or a pound of feathers?

3)If you take 3 apples from a group of 5, how many do you have?

4) Why is the longest human nose on record is only 11 inches long?

5) If a rooster laid 13 eggs and the farmer took 8 of them and then another rooster laid 12 eggs and 4 of them were rotten, how many of the eggs were left?

6)You have a barrel of cokee and you need to measure out just one gallon. How do you do this if you only have a three-gallon container and a five-gallon container?

7) If you have 6 black socks, 4 blue socks, 8 brown socks, and 2 red socks in your sock drawer, what is the minimum number of socks that you need to pull out in the dark to be sure you had a matching pair?

Answers:

1) The key to this math riddle is realizing that the one place must be zero.
888 +88 +8 +8 +8 =1,000 

2) Both would weigh the same - come on, a pound remains a pound, irrespective of the object!

3) 3- You just took them yourself

4) Because then it wouldn't be a nose any more; it would become a foot! (12 inches and above - easy!)

5) Roosters dont lay eggs.

6)Fill the 3 gallon container with coke and pour it into the 5 gallon container. Then fill the 3-gallon container again and keep pouring it into the 5-gallon container till the latter is full to the brim. One gallon will be left in the 3-gallon container.

7)At least 5, so that at least one color has two socks

Math Jokes

Hey girls! I have a few math jokes for all of you.

“What happened to your girlfriend, that really cute math student?”

“She no longer is my girlfriend. I caught her cheating on me.”

“I don’t believe that she cheated on you!”

“Well, a couple of nights ago I called her on the phone, and she told me that she was in bed wrestling with three unknowns…”

A math student and a computer science student are jogging together in a park when they hear a voice: “Please, help me!”

They stop and look. The voice belongs to a frog sitting in the grass.

“Please, help me!” the frog repeats. “I’m not really a frog: I’m an enchanted, beautiful princess. Kiss me, and the spell will be broken – and I will be yours forever…”

The CS student picks up the frog and examines it carefully from all sides – making not even an attempt to kiss it.

“You don’t have to marry me”, the frog continues frantically, “if you’re afraid of the commitment. I’ll do whatever you wish me to do if you just kiss me…”

The frog’s voice is silenced, when the CS student puts the animal into the right pocket of his pants.

“But why don’t you kiss her?!” the math student asks.

“You know”, the CS student replies, “I simply don’t have time for a girlfriend – but a frog that talks makes a really cool pet…”

“Divide fourteen sugar cubes into three cups of coffee so that each cup has an odd number of sugar cubes in it.”

“That’s easy: one, one, and twelve.”

“But twelve isn’t odd!”

“It’s an odd number of cubes to put in a cup of coffee…”

Famous Mathematicians

 Famous Mathematicians

 

Archimedes

The greatest mathematicians of ancient era, Archimedes made phenomenal contribution in the field of mathematics. His works include integral calculus studies and finding various computation techniques to determine volume and area of several shapes including the conic section.

 

Aryabhatta

Aryabhatta, the greatest Indian mathematician of ancient era, has been famous for his mathematical works and theorems on astronomical bodies that have been found to be very accurate in terms of modern calculations. "Aryabhatiya", his only work to have survived has given the world innumerable theorems and research subjects. His two other major contributions are the, introduction of zero to the world and calculating the approximate value of pie. His works are also spread in fields like include algebra, arithmetic, trigonometry, quadratic equations and the sine table.

 

René Descartes

The French philosopher and mathematician, Rene Descartes was famous for his method of expressing geometric shapes in the form of algebraic equation. It was because of Rene Descartes that we got introduced to the beautiful branch of co-ordinate geometry. The Cartesian coordinates, in fact, refer to his name. Besides this Rene made valuable contributions in the field of optics and energy conservation..

 

Carl F. Gauss M

Carl F. Gauss, a German mathematician, known as Princeps mathematicorum meaning, "the Prince of Mathematicians" or "the foremost of mathematicians" was a child prodigy and a genius. Even as a teenager, he is believed to have made remarkable mathematical contributions. Carl F. Gauss made path breaking contributions in fields like set theory, statistics, differential analysis, geophysics, electrostatics, number theory and astronomy. He proved the fundamental theorem of Algebra and made various contribution in number theory.

 

Sir Isaac Newton

Sir Isaac Newton was one of the greatest mathematician and physicist, the world has ever produced. His contributions in mathematics are spread in almost every field. However, he developed Calculus, both differential and integral, that are, still the most important aspects of higher mathematics. Using Calculus, he made it easier to find the area bounded by closed curves. In physics, his most famous and world changing contribution was the discovery of existence of gravitation force in our surrounding.

 

Pythagoras

The Greek mathematician and philosopher, known as the 'father of numbers', is famous for the discovery of Pythagorean theorem formula, which states that in a right angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (z), is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, x and y - that is, x2 + y2 = z2.

 

Benjamin Banneker

A child prodigy, a watch designer and a mathematician, Bannerker discovered many puzzles in fields of trigonometry. He was a genius in logarithms and used them extensively in trigonometry. He is still regarded as the most popular black mathematician.

 

John Von Neumann

The Hungarian-American mathematician, physicist, John made valuable contribution in several fields like set theory, functional analysis, quantum mechanics, ergodic theory, continuous geometry and statistics. His operator theory in mechanics is still regarded as one of his most pioneering works. He was also a key figure in the development of game theory.
 

 

Albert Einstein

The scientific world was amused by the Einstein's theory of relativity. Although Albert Einstein was physicist, his applied mathematical theorems to reach to apt conclusions. Known as "father of Physics", he can be best described as a mathematical physicist. He also won the Nobel Prize in 1921 for his contributions to physics and the discovery of law of photoelectric effect.
