the inshago bone,
the inshago bone was
first found in 1950 and was one of the first ways that math was portrayed.
it is one of the oldest
mathematical artefact that we know of. it is currently under the hands
of the museum of science
in Brussels, Belgium. this piece is very improtent to the math
of today because since we found it we have found out how they used
the inshago bone to turn those lines to numbers and how they made
symbols to show the different numbers.Sumerian Multiplication table,
this is also a very old artefact that helped
math a lot because it
tells us how it developed from
lines to dots showing the number
of something and
then making it into something that can show us how they
would solve math problems. it is one of the
oldest tables ever found. the table
usually ranged around 6 meters
to 3 kilometres long. this arefact is
very important because it devoped the way to
geometry, arithmetic and algebra.Democritus,
Democritus was very important in the math and the science
world because
he was the one that figured out that all
matter was made up of tiny atoms that
are smaller than a millimetre, he was
important in the math world because
he is the one that created the
one and only formula for prisms and cones,
we need to know this because
if you want to know the mass of something
Is then you can use the formula to figure it out.Heron of Alexandria,
Heron was the best experimenter in math history his inventions
included things like the windmills, pantograph as well as the
steam turbine. he created these amazing inventions by the formula
that he created also known as the Hero's formula.
the Hero's formula allows you to calculate the area of a triangle
using only the length of the sides of the triangle.
this is important to math because it demonstrated how it would
be possible to calculate the area of any shape big or small.Al-Ṣābiʾ Thābit ibn Qurrah al-Ḥarrānī,
Al-Ṣābiʾ Thābit ibn Qurrah al-Ḥarrānī was famous for his studies in algebra
geometry and mechanics, he was the one that calculated the problem
of the chessboard problem. however, he was also the founder of statistics
and believed that statistics make everything easier and simpler to read.
he is important to the history of math because he helped us discover something
that can make data be more clear to read and understand.Suàn shù shū,
The Suàn shù shū were math problem including
Things like integers, fraction, how to find the
Area of something 3 dimensional etc. The
Suàn shù shū consist of 200 strips of bamboo
Written in ink, these bamboo strips confirm that the
People in the old days were trying to correct or get pie.
These bambo strips are important because it confirms
That people in the past tried to solve the formula for
PieDa Vinci’s Polyhedra,
Da Vinci was originally known for his art and masterpieces
However he was also known because of his presents in maths.
Da Vinci’s Polyhedra Was all about his creativity when it comes to 3D shapes
He often made a solid shape and then also made a transparent ones so that
You could see the edges, by creating such a thing that you could see the edges
It opened up a whole new world with 3 dimensional shapes, and how you can
Look at them. This was important because it helped us create thSimon Stevin,
Simon Stevin Was one of the first ever people to use and write
About using decimals in fractions, he also did geometry, physics
And trigonometry, he used his knowledge in decimal fractions
To write a book about it. This helped us develop the idea of decimal
Numbers as it gets used daily now a days.Sir Issac Newton,
Sir Issac Newton Was very important because he was the
One to create the laws of physics and to create gravity.
He was a physicist and mathematician and created the laws
Of motion and gravity. He calculated the speed of sound. This is
Important because he created the formula that now helps us to
Calculate force and friction.Joseph-Louis Lagrange,
Joseph-Louis Lagrange Was a huge help to the mathamatic
World because he discovered the metric system that helps
Us everyday. Because of his knowledge from the research that
He did whilst travelling around the world, he discovered that
If there was a system that everybody used than it would be
So much easier than multiple different systems, so he created
The metric system that we now use worldwide.Florence Nightingale,
Florence Nightingale is known for her use of
Infographics and was one of the first people to
Use pie charts, she used statistics to help with
Medicine. This is important because this shows how
Important mathematics can be even is science and
Medicine.Robert Langlands,
Robert Langlands Was an American- Canadian mathematician
He is known for his work in theories, he believed that if we bring
Multiple different math equations together than you will get the
Answer to life however, that is not what he did, what he did was
He brought a bunch of different theories and linked them together to
End in a result for math. This is important because this could lead
To us learning more about how the world works.Zero,
Zero was first founded in 650 , it was used when
The absence of a number, so they would put 0 instead
Of 1 to indicate that there is a missing or a number
That is not there. So zero was a replacement number
Until they started using it to complete numbers for
Example 100 (the 00 at the end indicate that there is
A missing number). This is important because it shows
How the number zero began and where it ended here today.
