Breve historia de las
matemáticas.
La matemáticas están ligadas
al desarrollo del ser humano, por ejemplo los vestigios más importantes de las matemáticas se dieron en
las culturas de Babilonia y
Egipto, aproximadamente 3000 a.c. y las cuales realizaron avances en la aritmética,
las medidas de longitud y el cálculo.
Estas culturas iniciaron realizando conteos, empleando
materiales, como huesos, tablas o fichas, en las cuales se representaba
cantidades numéricas de algún artículo o bien comercial, para realizar dichos conteos los
babilonios se basaron en la utilización del
número 60 y los egipcios en el número
10, logrando así avances considerables en geometría y aritmética.
Posteriormente otras civilizaciones, realizaron aportes
importantes en el campo matemático, siendo el más importante el realizado por
la cultura India en donde se le
otorgo un símbolo a la inexistencia de artículos,
lo que se conoce como cero (0). Es así que se tiene como conclusión, que las matemáticas antiguas se utilizaban
principalmente para resolver
problemas de carácter comercial.
Posteriormente culturas como la griega con representantes como Pitágoras, Aristóteles
entre otros, lograron avances
significativos en las matemáticas
aplicadas, como por ejemplo el
planteamiento del teorema de Pitágoras.
Después se dio la caída de este imperio y la aparición de
otras culturas como la Romana y con las
cuales las matemáticas sufrieron un decaimiento
en sus avances y descubrimientos. Dicho retroceso se dio aproximadamente hasta
el año 1100 d.c.
Después de esta triste etapa surgieron matemáticos como Fibonacci,
Copérnico, Descartes, Pascal, Euler,
Newton, Gauss, quienes realizaron considerables aportes al estudio de las matemáticas
como por ejemplo Fibonacci planteo la
secuencia que lleva su nombre, o Descartes quien estableció la regla de los signos para saber el número de raíces positivas y
negativas de una ecuación, también Newton quien desarrollo un enfoque geométrico y analítico de las
derivadas, entre otras muchas teorías planteadas por los nuevos matemáticos, y con lo cual el
estudio de las matemáticas se ha relacionado a otras disciplinas como la
medicina, la ingeniería, la música entre otras,
y se han creado e implementado herramientas para seguir avanzando en el
estudio de las matemáticas, como por ejemplo
la computadora.
Brief history of mathematics.
Mathematics is linked to the development of the human being, for example the most important vestiges of mathematics were given in the cultures of Babylon and Egypt, about 3000 BC. And which made progress in arithmetic, measures of length and calculation.
These cultures began counting, using materials such as bones, tablets or tokens, in which numerical quantities of an article or trade were represented, to realize these counts the Babylonians were based on the use of the number 60 and the Egyptians in the number 10, thus achieving considerable advances in geometry and arithmetic.
Subsequently other civilizations, made important contributions in the mathematical field, being the most important the one realized by the Indian culture where a symbol was given to the nonexistence of articles, what is known as zero (0). Thus, it is concluded that ancient mathematics was mainly used to solve problems of a commercial nature.
Subsequently cultures such as the Greek with representatives such as Pythagoras, Aristotle among others, achieved significant advances in applied mathematics, such as the approach of the Pythagorean theorem.
Then came the fall of this empire and the emergence of other cultures like the Roman and with which mathematics suffered a decline in their advances and discoveries. This retraction occurred approximately until the year 1100 d.c.
After this sad stage, mathematicians such as Fibonacci, Copernicus, Descartes, Pascal, Euler, Newton, Gauss, who made considerable contributions to the study of mathematics, such as Fibonacci, put the sequence that bears his name, or Descartes who established the rule of The signs to know the number of positive and negative roots of an equation, also Newton who developed a geometric and analytical approach to derivatives, among many other theories raised by the new mathematicians, and with which the study of mathematics has been related To other disciplines such as medicine, engineering, music, among others, and tools have been created and implemented to continue advancing in the study of mathematics, such as the computer.
