RESPONSE TO A CRITIC ON THE ORIGINS OF MATHEMATICS

(from elsewhere)

Math predates writing.

First record of written basic math is from egypt.

First treatise is from greece

First Geometry from greece.

First Algebra from greece by Diophantus although it is possible that like newton and leibniz both he and al-Khwarizmi discovered it.

POsitional numbering in babylon. Decimal notation by Archimedes. zero-placeholder by hindus

Much came out of the fertile crescent from anatolia to egypt to iran. It was the origin of barley, and it looks like bronze by combining tin from afghanistan with regional copper. And the persian mastery of mountain spring water for drinking, cooking, andirrigation was perhaps the most impressive architecture in the world.

however, if you do some reading, instead of depending upon bits and drabs of nonsense, you’ll find out that the west disproporionately discovered and innovated faster than all other civilizations combined, despite being on the remote edge of the bronze age.

Sorry.

Do some research before you criticize us grownups.

Here is my reading list.
