Babylonian Mathematics1 1 Introduction Our first knowledge of mankind’s use of mathematics comes from the Egyptians and Babylonians. Both civilizations developed mathematics that was similar in scope but different in particulars. There can be no denying the fact that the totality of their mathematics was profoundly elementary2 ‚ but their astronomy of later times did achieve a level comparable to the Greeks. Assyria 2 Basic Facts The Babylonian civilization has its roots dating to 4000BCE

Topic 1- Mathematics and Certainty Having said something about the nature of formal systems‚ we must now look in more detail at the nature of mathematical certainty. To do this‚ let us begin by making two distinctions. The first concerns the nature of propositions. An analytic proposition is one that is true by definition. A synthetic proposition is any proposition that is not analytic. So we can say that every proposition is either analytic or synthetic. The second distinction concerns how we

Theory of Knowledge Éanna OBoyle ToK Mathematics “... what the ordinary person in the street regards as mathematics is usually nothing more than the operations of counting with perhaps a little geometry thrown in for good measure. This is why banking or accountancy or architecture is regarded as a suitable profession for someone who is ‘good at figures’. Indeed‚ this popular view of what mathematics is‚ and what is required to be good at it‚ is extremely prevalent; yet it would be laughed at
