Fractional origin
The score comes from the "point". A piece of land is divided into three parts, one of which is one third. One third is one.

This statement, written with special symbols, becomes a fraction, and the concept of fraction is exactly what people are good at dealing with this kind of problems.

Formed in the period of experience.

The earliest music score in the world appeared on the papyrus scroll in Ammers, Egypt. 1858, Englishman Henry

Lint found an ancient papyrus in the ruins of Tiber, Egypt, and immediately restored this priceless treasure.

It took 19 years to translate the ancient Egyptian language in papyrus. Now the oldest in the world

Old math books are treasured in the British Museum in London.

In Ammers's grass scrolls, we see the general notation of scores mastered by the Egyptians four thousand years ago.

Single fraction-the general symbol of a fraction with the numerator 1 Egyptians regard a single score as the reciprocal of an integer, and Egypt

This understanding of people and the unified notation of single fractions are very remarkable. It tells people that there are not only numbers.

In the works of Bo people, the numerator and denominator are separated by a short horizontal line, which can be said to be the earliest in the world.

/kloc-At the beginning of the 3rd century, the Italian mathematician Fibonacci introduced Arabic mathematics into his works.

It also introduced the symbol of fractions into Europe.
