who invented MATHS?

Answer 1

math was invented by arabians (muslims)

Answer 2

If math was invented by Arab Muslims, then how was Archimedes who predates "Islam" by several centuries a Mathematician. How did Egyptians figure out the stars and when to plant crops without being able to calculate. In the Americas how did the Indians build the temples so accurately if they did not know math? The Chinese knew math long before the Arabs, they would not have been able to build huge buildings with out some basic understanding of mathematics. Almost every culture has found math in some form or another at sometime. And actually zero is not a Muslim/Arab idea but an Indian, Brahmagupta, invention around 650 AD that the Arabs brought back from India. Math existed long before zero was discovered..

Answer 3

This is related to the age-old question, "Is math discovered or
invented?" My answer has to be both. We invent new kinds of math by
setting the "rules of the game." After we have done this, we discover
all kinds of consequences that follow from these rules.

Thus, we do have a certain freedom in inventing new kinds of math.
However, once we have done this - set the rules - then only certain
things are true and other things are false, within the system we have
set up.

It's like asking, "Since man invented baseball, doesn't anything go?
Can't I get a fourth strike?" The answer is: "If you want to start
your own league with different rules (designated hitter, for
instance), go ahead. But it won't be the same game that I play. As
long as we're playing in the same game, we have to play by the same
rules!"

Earlier this year I wrote an answer to another question that might be
coming from the opposite perspective to yours. My correspondent asked
whether the existence of unproven and unprovable statements (called
postulates and undefined terms) in geometry demonstrates that every
human system must be built upon faith. Take a look at my answer in our
Archives -- I think it is relevant to your question too.

You will see from this that as long as we're talking about pure math,
we are free to try any set of rules and see where they lead. Some
interesting things can come out of this sort of exploration. But
freedom ends - and both science and faith begin - when we try to say
that our brand of math describes the real world.

If you have more to say after you've read my comments, I'd be glad to
hear it. I haven't really tried to answer your specific questions,
just to set up a basis for dialog.

Answer 4

MATHS is not a invention it's a discovery & DEFINITELY India developed mathematics first. They developed the system of counting, decimal, fractions and zero. The most famous mathematician was Aryabhatta. Ancient Indians knows the terms but they have different words for the terms. Deca word derived from Indian Dash - proven by language researchers. The so called Arabic Numbers are of Indian origin. Indian Mathematicians far more books.

Answer 5

you should be read history of math. nobody dose know who is inventor of math because the math is invented before word and letter.

Answer 6

math is not a invention it's a discovery

Answer 7
