Welcome
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This can seem a rather mysterious website, with lots of hidden customs. One of the rules here is that when an edit of yours is removed, as happened with your addition of a link to Mathematics, you do not try again but explain your reasons on the talk page of the article. In this case, that is Talk:Mathematics.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful: If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place  on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 11:03, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

History of Math
HISTORY OF MATHEMATICS

The word mathematics comes from the Greek word máthema which means "science, knowledge, or learning"; Every civilization developed its own math according to their needs. The primary regions where Math developed in early stages were Babylonia, India, Greece and Egypt. The concepts that were developed by one civilization were passed on to other civilization and slowly a common math evolved. To understand the impact of a particular civilization in development of Math, let’s study India’s contribution in Math.

India played an important role in the advancement of mathematics for much of ancient history. Besides using simple arithmetic operations like addition and subtraction, the Indians invented ideas such as the decimal system and positional notation, both of which are the corner stone of Math as we know. They also used the "Pythagorean" theorem and "Pascal's" triangle, in various forms, before either of those men was born.

Indian mathematicians developed the number line due to which we are now able to calculate the distance between the two places. The old text Sulbasturas contains the geometrical work and Budhayana composed it about 800BC. Aryabhata gave the theory of eclipses based on the basis of his trigonometric calculations. Brahmagupta near 7th century AD gave the concept of negative numbers and zero and understanding of integer solutions to indeterminate equations. Sine tables were developed in India to support the astronomical work done by the mathematicians. Madhwa developed the Taylor series; he also gave Pi and also told us the approximate value of it…

Likewise, civilizations such as Babylonia, Greece, Egypt have also made several interesting contributions.Get online math tutoring byesylvan,vienova,tutorvista,kaplanetc.

Disruptive move
Moving this page to About Mathematics was quite disruptive. We're here to write an encyclopaedia; a neutral summary of the knowledge found in reliable sources. Please keep in mind that if you are disruptive to this goal, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 02:57, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
