Mathematics is introduced as follows:
Mathematics, from ancient Greece μ? θξμα(máthēma)； Often abbreviated as math or maths, it is a discipline that studies concepts such as quantity, structure, change, space and information. Mathematics plays an irreplaceable role in the development of human history and social life, and it is also an indispensable basic tool for studying and studying modern science and technology.
Mathematics is a universal means for human beings to strictly describe and deduce the abstract structure and mode of things, and can be applied to any problem in the real world. All mathematical objects are artificially defined in essence. In this sense, mathematics belongs to formal science, not natural science. Different mathematicians and philosophers have a series of views on the exact scope and definition of mathematics.
Basic mathematics is introduced as follows:
The knowledge and application of basic mathematics is an indispensable part of individual and group life. The refinement of its basic concepts can be found in ancient mathematical documents of ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia and ancient India. Since then, its development has continued to make small progress. But algebra and geometry at that time were still independent for a long time.
Algebra can be said to be the most widely accepted "mathematics". It can be said that the first mathematics he came into contact with was algebra since everyone began to learn to count when he was a child. Mathematics is a subject that studies numbers, and algebra is also one of the most important parts of mathematics. Geometry is the earliest branch of mathematics studied by people.
The development of mathematics is introduced as follows:
Until the Renaissance in16th century, Descartes founded analytic geometry, which linked algebra and geometry which were completely separated at that time. From then on, we can finally prove the theorem of geometry through calculation; At the same time, abstract algebraic equations and trigonometric functions can also be graphically represented. Then more subtle calculus was developed.
