Mathematics History

Mathematics has evolved over thousands of years, beginning with ancient civilizations like the Babylonians and Egyptians, who used basic arithmetic for trade and agriculture. The Greeks, such as Euclid and Pythagoras, introduced formal proofs and geometry. During the Middle Ages, Arabic scholars preserved and built upon these ideas, developing algebra. The Renaissance sparked new mathematical approaches, leading to calculus in the 17th century through Newton and Leibniz. In the 19th and 20th centuries, mathematics expanded into abstract concepts and new fields such as statistics and computer science, influencing various aspects of modern life from science to technology and economics.
