Medieval European mathematics refers to the mathematical developments and practices that occurred in Europe during the Middle Ages, roughly from the 5th to the late 15th century. This period was characterized by various influences, including the transmission of knowledge from ancient civilizations, the rise of universities, and the interactions with Islamic mathematicians and scholars.
Mathematics in the medieval Islamic world, often referred to as Islamic mathematics, was a significant and transformative field that flourished from the 8th to the 15th centuries. This period was marked by a remarkable exchange of knowledge, as scholars built upon the mathematical foundations of ancient civilizations such as the Greeks, Romans, Indians, and Persians.
Japanese mathematics refers to both historical and contemporary mathematical practices and developments in Japan. The term can encompass a variety of topics, including traditional Japanese mathematics (often called "wasan"), modern mathematical education, and contemporary research and contributions to global mathematics. ### Historical Context: Wasan 1. **Wasan (和算)**: This term specifically refers to traditional Japanese mathematics that developed from the 17th century until the 19th century.
It doesn't need to be a bipedal robot. We can let Boston Dynamics worry about that walking balance crap.
It could very well instead be on wheels like arm on tracks.
Or something more like a factory with arms on rails as per:

It has a rich history that includes significant contributions to various fields of mathematics, such as arithmetic, geometry, algebra, and number theory.
Aztec mathematics refers to the mathematical practices and concepts used by the Aztec civilization, which flourished in central Mexico from the 14th to the 16th centuries. The Aztecs had a sophisticated understanding of mathematics, which they used for practical purposes in areas like agriculture, trade, astronomy, and construction.
A "list of graphs" typically refers to a comprehensive collection of various types of graphs, each representing different structures, properties, or applications in graph theory. Graphs are mathematical representations consisting of vertices (or nodes) connected by edges (or links). Below are some common types of graphs included in a list of graphs: ### Types of Graphs 1. **Simple Graph**: A graph with no loops or multiple edges between the same pair of vertices.

Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculusArticles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
- a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
- a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.
