HISTORY OF MATHEMATICS The history of mathematics is nearly as old as humanity itself. Since antiquity‚ mathematics has been fundamental to advances in science‚ engineering‚ and philosophy. It has evolved from simple counting‚ measurement and calculation‚ and the systematic study of the shapes and motions of physical objects‚ through the application of abstraction‚ imagination and logic‚ to the broad‚ complex and often abstract discipline we know today. From the notched bones of early man

Roger Bacon was an English Philosopher who placed considerable emphasis on empiricism‚ and is believed to be one of the earliest advocates of the modern scientific method. Roger Bacon played a key role in the early stages of the movement which eventually led to the Scientific Revolution. Instead of relying on rational deductions from the statements of ancient authorities for truths about the natural world‚ he advocated that confirmation by observation or experiment using the methods of mathematics

Archimedes was among the greatest mathematicians of antiquity. Mathematicians usually cover a breadth of topics within mathematics in their undergraduate education‚ and then proceed to specialize in topics of their own choice at the graduate-level. In some universities‚ a qualifying exam serves to test both the breadth and depth of a student’s understanding of mathematics; the students who pass are permitted to work on a doctoral dissertation. A mathematician is a person with an extensive knowledge of mathematics who
