This is a timeline of pure and applied mathematics history.It is divided here into three stages, corresponding to stages in the development of mathematical notation: a "rhetorical" stage in which calculations are described purely by words, a "syncopated" stage in which quantities and common algebraic operations are beginning to be represented by symbolic abbreviations, and finally a "symbolic ...
There are several types of timeline articles. Historical timelines show the significant historical events and developments for a specific topic, over the course of centuries or millennia. Graphical timelines provide a visual representation for the timespan of multiple events that have a particular duration, over the course of centuries or ...

Helladic chronology; Cycladic (c. 3100–1000 BC) Minoan ... 1593 - François Viète discovers the first infinite product in the history of mathematics, 17th century
Greek mathematician Hero of Alexandria, treats algebraic equations in three volumes of mathematics. c. 200: Hellenistic mathematician Diophantus, who lived in Alexandria and is often considered to be the "father of algebra", writes his famous Arithmetica, a work featuring solutions of algebraic equations and on the theory of numbers. 499
ca 340 – Pappus of Alexandria states his hexagon theorem and his centroid theorem 50 – Aryabhata writes the "Aryabhata-Siddhanta", which first introduces the trigonometric functions and methods of calculating their approximate numerical values.
Klein's Erlangen program puts an emphasis on the homogeneous spaces for the classical groups, as a class of manifolds foundational for geometry. later 1870s: Ulisse Dini: Dini develops the implicit function theorem, the basic tool for constructing manifolds locally as the zero sets of smooth functions. [5] from 1890s: Élie Cartan
Mathematics and astronomy flourish during the Golden Age of India (4th to 6th centuries AD) under the Gupta Empire. Meanwhile, Greece and its colonies have entered the Roman period in the last few decades of the preceding millennium, and Greek science is negatively impacted by the Fall of the Western Roman Empire and the economic decline that ...
