   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_mathematics

   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 ...

   5th century BC - Democritus finds the volume of cone is 1/3 of volume of cylinder, 4th century BC - Eudoxus of Cnidus develops the method of exhaustion, 3rd century BC - Archimedes displays geometric series in The Quadrature of the Parabola. Archimedes also discovers a method which is similar to differential calculus. [1]

   German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777–1855) said, "Mathematics is the queen of the sciences—and number theory is the queen of mathematics." [ 1 ] Number theorists study prime numbers as well as the properties of mathematical objects constructed from integers (for example, rational numbers ), or defined as generalizations of the ...
