Every culture on earth has developed some mathematics. In some cases, this mathematics has spread from one culture to another. Now there is one predominant international mathematics, and this mathematics has quite a history. It has roots in ancient Egypt and Babylonia, then grew rapidly in ancient Greece. Mathematics written in ancient Greek was translated into Arabic. About the same time some mathematics of India was translated into Arabic. Later some of this mathematics was translated into Latin and became the mathematics of Western Europe. Over a period of several hundred years, it became the mathematics of the world. There are other places in the world that developed significant mathematics, such as China, southern India, and Japan, and they are interesting to study, but the mathematics of the other regions have not had much influence on current international mathematics. There is, of course, much mathematics being done these and other regions, but it is not the traditional math of the regions, but international mathematics. By far, the most significant development in mathematics was giving it firm logical foundations. This took place in ancient Greece in the centuries preceding Euclid. See

History of Ganit (Mathematics) Introduction Ganit (Mathematics) has been considered a very important subject since ancient times. We find very elaborate proof of this in Vedah (which were compiled around 6000 BC). The concept of division, addition et-cetera was used even that time. Concepts of zero and infinite were there. We also find roots of algebra in Vedah. When Indian Beez Ganit reached Arab, they called it Algebra. Algebra was name of the Arabic book that described Indian concepts. This knowledge reached to Europe from there. And thus ancient Indian Beez Ganit is currently referred to as Algebra. The book Vedang jyotish (written 1000 BC) has mentioned the importance of Ganit as follows- Meaning: Just as branches of a peacock and jewel-stone of a snake are placed at the highest place of body (forehead), similarly position of Ganit is highest in all the branches of

Many say that the Babylonians first developed systems of quadratic equations. This calls for over simplification, because the Babylonians had no concept of an equation. Also, all solutions to Babylonian problems were positive because they were solutions to problems involving lengths. Six Types of Quadratics 3. Roots equal to numbers (square root of x = 2) (6 + square root of 10)(18 - square root of 90) = (108 - square root of 3240 + square root of 3240 - square root of 900) which is 78 Scipione dal Ferro is the first credited with solving cubic equations algebraically, around 1515. However, he could only solve cubic equations with the form He kept this work a secret until 1526 when he revealed it to his student Antonio Fior. Soon, the work was common knowledge around Bologna, where dal Ferro taught at the University of Bologna. Other observations in the field of complex equations were also made, primarily that of Harriot. He observed that if x = b, x = c, x = d then (x - b)(x - c)(x - d) = which allowed more uses for the cubic equations. Many proofs after this followed, including ones which first proved these principles algebraically, instead of geometrically. The further use of algebra supplemented modern mathematics in a very important way.
