The origin of mathematics: Mathematics is the oldest subject, and its origin can be traced back to more than 10,000 years ago. However, few materials were preserved before 1000. So far, only systematic mathematical literature has been found in ancient Egypt and Babylon.

As early as 65,438+05,000 years ago, human beings have been able to portray the images of people and animals quite realistically. This is the earliest evidence of the germination of graphic consciousness. Later, they gradually began to pursue circles and straight lines, thus becoming the earliest prototype of mathematical graphics. In daily life and production practice, they gradually developed a counting consciousness and counting system. Humans have explored a variety of counting methods, including knotting rope counting, counting with stones, and further expressing language points with symbols.

This series of development and evolution has gradually formed a complete mathematical discipline that we are familiar with today, including arithmetic, geometry, algebra, trigonometry, calculus, statistics and probability (in fact, it was originally for people to study gambling) ... and so on, and it is still developing.
