The 20th century was a transformative period for mathematics, characterized by significant developments across various fields, including pure and applied mathematics. Here are some key highlights: 1. **Foundations and Logic**: The early 20th century saw a focus on the foundations of mathematics, particularly through the work of mathematicians like David Hilbert, Kurt Gödel, and Bertrand Russell.
The term "21st century in mathematics" can refer to several aspects of mathematics as it has evolved and been practiced since the year 2000. Here are a few key points that characterize mathematics in the 21st century: 1. **Interdisciplinary Connections**: Mathematics is increasingly applied to a wide range of fields including biology, economics, computer science, engineering, and social sciences. This interdisciplinary approach enhances the relevance and application of mathematical concepts.
Greek mathematics refers to the body of mathematical knowledge developed in ancient Greece, particularly from the 6th century BCE to the 3rd century CE. It is characterized by significant advances in various mathematical fields, including geometry, arithmetic, and number theory. The Greeks made substantial contributions to mathematics, influenced by earlier Babylonian and Egyptian systems, but they also introduced rigorous proofs and logical reasoning, which became foundational to modern mathematics.
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.
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.
Pinned article: ourbigbook/introduction-to-the-ourbigbook-project
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.

- to OurBigBook.com to get awesome multi-user features like topics and likes
- as HTML files to a static website, which you can host yourself for free on many external providers like GitHub Pages, and remain in full control
