Presentation transcript:

The History of Mathematics In this course students will construct timelines to compare as well as trace the migration paths of these discoveries and ideas through different cultures and lands. This course examines ancient numeral systems, Babylonian and Egyptian mathematics, Pythagorean mathematics, duplication, trisection, and quadrature, Euclid's elements and Greek mathematics after Euclid, Hindu and Arabian mathematics, European mathematics from 500 to 1600, origins of modern mathematics, analytic geometry, the history of calculus. Also covers the transition to the twentieth century and contemporary perspectives.

 Introduce the rich diversity of the great inventors and contributors to mathematics over the years  A greater insight into the conceptual development of mathematical ideas and the true migration of these ideas through and to different cultures

 Gives an accurate background without bias  Recognizes the contributions from all civilizations, as traced through time  Makes connections to current usage  Takes the time to “plump up” the timeline of mathematical discoveries, to include all areas and make connections throughout cultures/times

 Historians ◦ Background and viewpoint  Available information ◦ Inclusion of research

 South Indian contributions have enriched many fields of mathematics  Hindu-Arabic numerals simplified arithmetical computations and allowed for the advancement of algebraic computations  Sanskrit language patterns evoke binary code  The concept of zero – “sunya” and its representation/usage in place value
