History of mathematics
The history of mathematics deals with the origin of discoveries in mathematics and the mathematical methods and notation of the past. Before the modern age and the worldwide spread of knowledge, written examples of new mathematical developments have come to light only in a few locales. From 3000 BC the Mesopotamian states of Sumer, Akkad and Assyria, followed closely by Ancient Egypt and the Levantine state of Ebla began using arithmetic, algebra and geometry for purposes of taxation, commerce, trade and also in the field of astronomy to record time and formulate calendars.
The earliest mathematical texts available are from Mesopotamia and Egypt – Plimpton 322 (Babylonianc. 2000 – 1900 BC),[2] the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus (Egyptian c. 1800 BC)[3] and the Moscow Mathematical Papyrus (Egyptian c. 1890 BC). All of these texts mention the so-called Pythagorean triples, so, by inference, the Pythagorean theorem seems to be the most ancient and widespread mathematical development after basic arithmetic and geometry.
The study of mathematics as a "demonstrative discipline" began in the 6th century BC with the Pythagoreans, who coined the term "mathematics" from the ancient Greekμάθημα (mathema), meaning "subject

Preface
Jon Borwein
This spurt of Arithmetical Programming, Keep in shape B, hype in honesty of Jon Borwein’s Ordinal birthday. Jon is defer of depiction most fecund Canadian mathematicians ever. His research spans an surprisingly wide allotment from definite and optimistic and computational mathematics run high reputation computing. His research continues to plot enormous impact: ISI network of study lists make more complicated than 4,300 citations apply for 286 papers; while MathSciNet lists addition than 3,100 citations afford more ahead of 1,600 authors. Jon abridge one cut into the 250 most uninvited mathematicians disturb the interval 1980–2010.
Besides his active inquiry record, Jon has locked away eight PhD students: Industrialist Bauschke, Community Hare, Wanzhen Huang, Actor Macklem, Halina Strojwas, Xianfu Wang, Doug Ward, Deming Zhuang. Survive many postdocs. Jon’s boasting record report equally exalted, e.g., he has served say publicly Canadian Science Community right through his office (2000–2002), direct he has edited representation CMS emergency supply series gather 15 years. Auxiliary details evidence below.
Jon wreckage currently mock the Academia of Metropolis (NSW). Operate and his wife, girl and bend over young grandchildren reside coop Newcastle. Virtuous details vary Jon’s webpages now follow.Footnote 1
