Read the text and check you answers.FROM THE HISTORY OF MATHEMATICSThe English word mathematics tells us something about the influencethe Ancient Greeks had on our knowledge. The word comes from the Greekfor science, learning and knowledge. It is usually shortened to maths in British English and to math in the USA.28Mathematics developed from a series of ideas, each new idea buildingon earlier ones. Each new idea became more complex as mathematicianstried to explain how things in the world relate to one another. The first ideato have developed was certainly that of number.
People needed to counttheir belongings. As society developed, numbers became more and moreimportant for business dealings and taxation and it became especially important to be able to record numbers. A wide variety of systems for recording numbers developed in different parts of the world. One example is thetallies that were used by the Incas in South America. They used pieces ofstring of different lengths and by tying knots in different places along thestring, they were able to keep tax records and business accounts throughouttheir land.With writing, different ways of recording numbers developed in different countries, too.
Roman numerals are a well-known example. In this system I is one and X is ten, so IX is one before ten, that is nine, and XI is eleven. It was not until the 16th century that the system of mathematicalnotation that we use today finally developed. It is a system that uses Arabicnumerals (1, 2, 3 and so on) with a set of symbols + (plus), – (minus), =(equals) for example, along with letters, many of which are taken from theGreek alphabet. It is a system which is used by all mathematicians all overthe world. In fact, it has been said that mathematics is one of only two genuinely international languages; the other one is music.Whether or not mathematics is a science is still a matter of opinion.
Noone can set up an experiment to prove that one plus one is two withoutcounting. Therefore, because it cannot be proved by experiment, mathematics is not a science. Others say yes, it is, because science is the search forknowledge and that is what mathematics does. Therefore, mathematics is ascience.Whatever your point of view, there is not doubt that mathematics is applied to all sciences. Many of the most important developments in fieldssuch as physics or engineering have led to further developments in mathematics. The argument over whether mathematics is a science or not appearsto be unimportant when you realize that it is impossible to separate mathematics from science or science from mathematics.
Many universities recognize this. In many places of learning there are divisions of study, oftencalled Mathematics and Science. The unbreakable connection between mathematics and all other sciences is recognized by the very way in which westudy them.29Comprehension2.4.
