Historically, the concept of a proof and its associated mathematical rigour first appeared in Greek mathematics, most notably in Euclid's Elements. [4] Since its beginning, mathematics was primarily divided into geometry and arithmetic (the manipulation of natural numbers and fractions), until the 16th and 17th centuries, when algebra [a] and ...
The event marked the first long-distance aeroplane race in England, the first take-off of a heavier-than-air machine at night, and the first powered flight into Manchester from outside the city. Paulhan repeated the journey in April 1950, the fortieth anniversary of the original flight, this time as a passenger aboard a British jet fighter.
The decimal number system in use today [3] was first recorded in Indian mathematics. [4] Indian mathematicians made early contributions to the study of the concept of zero as a number, [ 5 ] negative numbers , [ 6 ] arithmetic , and algebra . [ 7 ]
The study of mathematics as a "demonstrative discipline" began in the 6th century BC with the Pythagoreans, who coined the term "mathematics" from the ancient Greek μάθημα (mathema), meaning "subject of instruction". [4] Greek mathematics greatly refined the methods (especially through the introduction of deductive reasoning and ...

The graph of the Cantor function on the unit interval. In mathematics, the Cantor function is an example of a function that is continuous, but not absolutely continuous.It is a notorious counterexample in analysis, because it challenges naive intuitions about continuity, derivative, and measure.
