The origin of mathematics The word "mathematics" comes from Greek. What does it mean? What have you learned or understood? Or "acquired knowledge" even means "things that can be acquired" and "things that can be learned", that is, "knowledge that can be acquired through learning". The meanings of these mathematical names seem to be the same as those of Sanskrit cognates. Even Littre, a great dictionary editor (E.Littre was also an outstanding classical scholar at that time), included the word "mathematics" in his French dictionary (1877). The Oxford English Dictionary makes no mention of Sanskrit. In the Byzantine Greek dictionary Suidas in the 10 century, some terms such as physics, geometry and arithmetic were introduced, but the word "mathematics" was not listed directly. The word "mathematics" has gone through a long process from expressing general knowledge to expressing mathematics specialty, which was completed in Aristotle's time, not in Plato's time. The specialization of mathematical names lies not only in its far-reaching significance, but also in the fact that only the specialization of the word "poem" in ancient Greece could rival the specialization of mathematical names at that time. The original meaning of "poem" is "something that has been made or completed", and the specialization of the word "poem" was completed in Plato's time. However, for some reason, the dictionary editing or knowledge problems involving noun specialization did not mention poetry, nor did they mention the relationship between poetry and mathematical name specialization.
