History Behind Mathematics

This will just be a quick update. I got something to settle down this month. Exam is also around the corner, so I hope you can keep waiting for something useful from this blog.

Below are something that we don't know about mathematics.

1. Pi is mathematical symbol that gives the value approximately 3.14159. The value for pi is actually the ratio between the circumference and the radius in Euclidean Space.
2. The most ancient mathematical texts available are Plimpton 322, which is believed to come from Babylonian Mathematics, 1900 years before century
3. The natural logarithm e is called Euler's number, after the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler
4. The tangent function (tan) was found by Islamic scholar, Muhammad Ibn Musa Al Khawarizmi
5. The term "angle" was a Latin word meaning the corner

I think that is it for my short update. Right now I am also searching for the right material or topic to be discuss. So if you have something valuable, do contact me. Thank you
