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 ...
1606 - Luca Valerio applies methods of Archimedes to find volumes and centres of gravity of solid bodies, 1609 - Johannes Kepler computes the integral = , 1611 - Thomas Harriot discovers an interpolation formula similar to Newton's interpolation formula,

Mathematics instructor Jaime Escalante dismissed the NCTM standards as something written by a PE teacher. [4] In 2001 and 2009, NCTM released the Principles and Standards for School Mathematics (PSSM) and the Curriculum Focal Points which expanded on the work of the previous standards documents. Particularly, the PSSM reiterated the 1989 ...
Algebraic equations are treated in the Chinese mathematics book Jiuzhang suanshu (The Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art), which contains solutions of linear equations solved using the rule of double false position, geometric solutions of quadratic equations, and the solutions of matrices equivalent to the modern method, to solve systems of ...
The Principles and Standards for School Mathematics was developed by the NCTM. The NCTM's stated intent was to improve mathematics education. The contents were based on surveys of existing curriculum materials, curricula and policies from many countries, educational research publications, and government agencies such as the U.S. National Science Foundation.

The "chart" concept of Poincaré, a local coordinate system, is organised into the atlas; in this setting, regularity conditions may be applied to the transition functions. [27] [28] [8] This foundational point of view allows for a pseudogroup restriction on the transition functions, for example to introduce piecewise linear structures. [29] 1932
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.
