who found algebra, calculus, trignometry?

Question

arabs, indians, greeks every body is claiming that they have only found these branches of mathematics. actually who found the above?

Answer 1

Algebra is named after a treatise by a Persian mathematician Muhammed ibm Musa-al-Khwarizma, called Al-kitab al-Jabr wa-I-Mugabala (meaning "The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing"). It is not known wether this was derived by earlier work by the Greek, Diphantus.

The origins can be traced back to the ancient Babylonians from 1800 B.C, through India, the Greeks - Euclid, China, and so - check out the Wikipedia article.

Trigonometry was most likely invented for use in Astronomy and can be traced more than 4000 years ago to Ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia and Indus Valley. The first recorded use comes from Ancient Greece with Hipparchus. Again, Indian and Persian mathematicians also used Trigonomy and added important improvements and methods.

Modern calculus is jointly attributed to Sir Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz.

However, elements of Calculus come from 400BC in Ancient Greece with Euxedos, who invented the "method of exhaustion" using a sequence of polygons whose areas converge to the area of a containing shape, and Archimedes who invented something close to Integral Calculus.

In Indian, Aryabhata, used infinitesimals for astronomical problems expressed in the form of differential equation, and Bhaskara invented the notion of a limit., and other Indians developed infinite series, power series, and so on.

Algebra in Ancient Times
The word "algebra" is derived from the Arabic word al-jabr. This term is found in Mohammed ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi’s book The Comprehensive Book of Calculation by Balance and Opposition, written around the year 825. Balance is a translation of the word al-jabr, which eventually became algebra.

Answer 7

if i knew I'd beat them up

Answer 8

whatever nationality pythagoras was probably invented trig. idk that's kind of a guess
