Timeline of mathematics
This is a timeline of pure and applied mathematicshistory. It is divided here into three stages, corresponding to stages in the development of mathematical notation: a "rhetorical" stage in which calculations are described purely by words, a "syncopated" stage in which quantities and common algebraic operations are beginning to be represented by symbolic abbreviations, and finally a "symbolic" stage, in which comprehensive notational systems for formulas are the norm.
Rhetorical stage
[edit]Before BC
[edit]- ca. 70, BC&#;– South Africa, ochre rocks adorned with scratched geometric patterns (see Blombos Cave).[1]
- ca. 35, BC to 20, BC&#;– Africa and France, earliest known prehistoric attempts to quantify time (see Lebombo bone).[2][3][4]
- c. 20, BC&#;– Nile Valley, Ishango bone: possibly the earliest reference to prime numbers and Egyptian multiplication.
- c. BC&#;– Mesopotamia, the Sumerians invent the first numeral system, and a system of weights and measures.
- c. BC&#;– Egypt, earliest known decimal system allows indefinite counting by way of introducing new symbols.[5]
- c. BC&#;– Indus Valley Civilisation on the Indian subcontinent, earliest use of decimal ratios in a uniform system of anci
