Mathematics definition

Mathematics is defined as the study of structure, space, and change.

Mathematical structures studied by athletes often return to the roots of natural sciences, especially physics, but the athletes are the definition and study of other structures for sporting purposes purely because these structures may provide a circular to other fields of mathematics, for example; or be a contributing factor in certain accounts; and finally, the athletes were considering specific fields of mathematics to her enthusiasm, considering that mathematics is an art and not a practical note.

Mathematics historical writing

The Babylonians Scribes 3000 years ago, practicing writing numbers and the calculation of benefits especially in the business in Babylon. The numbers and calculations are recorded over panels of clay by bamboo spire and then placed in the oven to dry.

Babylonians knew Addition and multiplication, subtraction and division. They did not use the decimal system witch increase the difficulty for them where they follow the sixtieth system, which consists of 60 symbol to denote the numbers from 1-60.

The ancient Egyptians developed that system in land survey after each flood to estimating taxes. Also they follow the decimal system based on units and a count of tens and hundreds. But they did not know zero. So they Write 500 by 5 Status symbols each icon reflect 100.
