The ancient period introduced some of the ideas that led to integral calculus, but does not seem to have developed these ideas in a rigorous and systematic way. . Calculations of volumes and areas, one goal of integral calculus, can be found in the Egyptian Moscow papyrus (c. 1820 BC), but the formulas are only given for concrete numbers, some are only approximately true, and they are not ...

The "very fast" [5] category round consisted of questions pertaining to the same category. In some cases, the question was the same throughout the round: teams were given different items, and had to answer the common question on the basis of each item (e.g., given a state, name either senator from that state [6]).
Mathematical analysis formally developed in the 17th century during the Scientific Revolution, [3] but many of its ideas can be traced back to earlier mathematicians. Early results in analysis were implicitly present in the early days of ancient Greek mathematics.
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]
The 1/3–2/3 conjecture – does every finite partially ordered set that is not totally ordered contain two elements x and y such that the probability that x appears before y in a random linear extension is between 1/3 and 2/3? [28]
A simple arithmetic calculator was first included with Windows 1.0. [5]In Windows 3.0, a scientific mode was added, which included exponents and roots, logarithms, factorial-based functions, trigonometry (supports radian, degree and gradians angles), base conversions (2, 8, 10, 16), logic operations, statistical functions such as single variable statistics and linear regression.
Answers was launched to the general public on December 8, 2005 [11] [12] and was available until May 14, 2006. Yahoo! Answers was finally made available for general availability on May 15, 2006. [13] Yahoo! Answers was created to replace Ask Yahoo!, Yahoo!'s former Q&A platform which was discontinued in March 2006. [14]
