The Centre for Education in Mathematics and Computing (CEMC) based out of the University of Waterloo hosts long-standing national competitions for grade levels 7–12 [2] [3] MathChallengers (formerly MathCounts BC) — for eighth, ninth, and tenth grade students
The content ranges from extremely difficult algebra and pre-calculus problems to problems in branches of mathematics not conventionally covered in secondary or high school and often not at university level either, such as projective and complex geometry, functional equations, combinatorics, and well-grounded number theory, of which extensive knowledge of theorems is required.
In Latin and English, until around 1700, the term mathematics more commonly meant "astrology" (or sometimes "astronomy") rather than "mathematics"; the meaning gradually changed to its present one from about 1500 to 1800.
The first geometrical properties of a projective nature were discovered during the 3rd century by Pappus of Alexandria. [3] Filippo Brunelleschi (1404–1472) started investigating the geometry of perspective during 1425 [ 10 ] (see Perspective (graphical) § History for a more thorough discussion of the work in the fine arts that motivated ...
Trigonometry (from Ancient Greek τρίγωνον (trígōnon) 'triangle' and μέτρον (métron) 'measure') [1] is a branch of mathematics concerned with relationships between angles and side lengths of triangles.
