Babylonian clay tablets show problems that involved solving for a missing or unknown value. This is one of the first ways they wrote down equations.
-
The Old Babylonian Strassburg tablet seeks the solution of a quadratic elliptic equation.
-
Democritus made developments in geometry and fraction.
-
His life was very fulfilling. He had many great accomplishments. HE DISCOVERED ALGEBRA.
-
Persian mathematician al-Mahani conceives the idea of reducing geometrical problems such as duplicating the cube to problems in algebra
-
He finds roots of cubic equations by line segments obtained by intersecting conic sections, but he could not find a formula for the roots.
-
The first equation ever written was by Robert Recorde in his treatise The Whetstone of Witte
-
In 1637, René Descartes published La Géométrie, inventing analytic geometry and introducing modern algebraic notation. Another key event in the further development of algebra was the general algebraic solution of the cubic and quartic equations, developed in the mid-16th century.
-
The fathers of Algebra are Abu Jaafar Mohammad Ibn Mousa Al Khwarizmi and Diophantus, they contributed to the second stage of algebra.
-
He worked to find the solution of the equation x3+2x2+cx=d
