Math History

Mathematics starts with counting. However, it is unreasonable to suggest that the initial calculation is mathematical. As only a few count records are retained, it can be said that some expressions of numbers have begun mathematics. Babylonian mathematics developed from 2000 BC. Early local value symbols have been developed for a long time with radix 60 as the radix. It has been proved to be able to express arbitrary large numbers and fractions and hence is the basis for the development of higher power mathematics.

STEM is an acronym used to describe the four most advanced fields of human thought, representing science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. History summarizes these themes and shows how the boundaries of contemporary civilization are being verified, but this important convergence area is not without problems. For example, mathematics and technology are two. Technology allows you to accelerate, visualize and manipulate mathematical processing, but the development of these areas is not a logical order. Pascal was regarded as the first inventor of a mechanical calculator, but he provided a simple tool to mitigate his tax calculation work for his father. at the same time

Mathematics is more than just a game. It is a useful tool (tool) in our daily life to the extent that it learns it naturally in our daily life. Most of the mathematical story sent to me includes at least some explanations for learning mathematics as a tool for everyday life. Amy, a mother of seven children at home school, writes as follows. "They all know how to split and multiply, calculate proportions, add and subtract, not just 7 different snacks, but also need to share a limited number of delicious snacks with different friends around you There are not only teaching kids a lot of mathematics with food and money.

I think that history book of mathematics has entertainment value, I am here; I do not dislike mathematics itself, the premise of mathematical history is not so. It is too attractive. Perhaps because I clearly mistakenly believe that the history of this field should be fairly linear (even if there are interesting topics in the conversation). ) I am looking forward to more "today, A and B, and C" without limit to today. For example, I do not understand how important the concept of the same name is for mathematical development. If you really think about it, the infinite concept is slightly dazzling and difficult to adjust. Of course, to some extent this is subject to an indirect influence on university level mathematics, but I think most of what I consider as a matter of course (and as I assume many other people assume) I took it.
