WHO DISCOVERED MATHEMATICS? The history of the development of mathematics is a long one. No single person is given credit for the "discovery" of mathematics. As man lived in caves before any written language existed‚ he understood the nature of the first few numbers‚ the counting numbers. He could make simple comparisons and could tell that‚ say‚ 9 were more than 6. He would be able to see that if he had‚ say‚ 8 apples and there were 7 people in his group‚ each would get one and there would be

Upon arriving at this topic‚ I had previously been asked a simple opinionated question‚ is math is a science‚ an art‚ or a philosophy. I thought to myself‚ well of course all three. Mathematics is for the most part (at least what people see) is a science; adding‚ subtracting‚ multiplying‚ dividing‚ differentiating‚ integrating‚ etc. These are all very well defined operations which‚ for the most part‚ have very algorithmic solution methods. The art comes in the proofs. Typically‚ when formulating
