Who Made Math A Thing

Leonhard euler created and popularized much of the mathematical notation used today.

Who made math a thing. I think that aristotle invented math. Instead mathematics developed slowly over thousands of years with the help of thousands of people. He invented the first mechanical adding machine in the year 1642. The unit of atmospheric pressure pascal pa has been named in his honor.

Most of the mathematical notation in use today was not invented until the 16th century. It s really more of a discovery. The first modern counting and measuring system was developed by the sumerians in 3100 bc and the first fully functional 10 number system was developed among the egyptians in 2700 bc.

Euler 1707 1783 was responsible for many of the notations in use today. He did this independently of sir isaac newton. No one knows for sure who invented math but we people today think it was the ancient roman who first used math. Gottfried wilhelm leibniz 1646 1716 was a german philosopher mathematician and logician who is probably most well known for having invented differential and integral calculus.

Coz he is the first human. Unlike a light bulb or a computer mathematics isn t really an invention. Before that mathematics was written out in words limiting mathematical discovery.
