2000-1800 BC) and the Moscow Mathematical Papyrus (Egyptian mathematics c. 1890 BC). All of these texts concern the so-called Pythagorean theorem‚ which seems to be the most ancient and widespread mathematical development after basic arithmetic and geometry. The study of mathematics as a subject in its own right begins in the 6th century BC with the Pythagoreans‚ who coined the term "mathematics" from the ancient Greek μάθημα (mathema)‚ meaning "subject of instruction".

modern trigonometry then takes place in the western Age of Enlightenment‚ beginning with 17th century mathematics (Isaac Newton‚ James Stirling) and reaching its modern form with Leonhard Euler. The ancient Egyptians and Babylonians had known of theorems on the ratios of the sides of similar triangles for many centuries. But pre-Hellenic societies lacked the concept of an angle measure and consequently‚ the sides of triangles were studied instead‚ a field that would be better called "trilaterometry"
