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 ...
A timeline is a list of events displayed in chronological order. [1] It is typically a graphic design showing a long bar labelled with dates paralleling it, and usually contemporaneous events.
