It is interesting to know
1. Pythagoras of Samoss (570-500 BC) opened a philosophy school where a number was
considered as being the «essence» of all things and the Universe — as harmonic system of
numbers and their relations with each other.
Pythagoreans distributed all numbers into classes: even and odd, prime and compound,
perfect, friendly, harmonic, triangle, guadratic and pentagonal etc. Figure «one» was assumed
to be deity, reason, good, harmony, luck. Figures "1","2","3","4" were taken as fundamental,
"5" was the symbol of a happy unit (marriage) because it was the sum of the first even and
odd numbers (excluding 1 as the basis of all numbers). "6" was the symbol of soul, as it was
the first perfect number and its divisors' sum (1+2+3) was equal to the number itself. Figure
"7" sumbolyzed health and "8" was the symbol of love and friendship.
Number "36" embodies the whole world that surrounded us, because 36 presented the
sum of the first even (2+4+6+8) and the first odd (1+3+5+7) numbers and that these figures
constituted the Universe.
2. Geometry emerged in Egypt where the peasants had to measure land plots, whose
borders were washed away by the Nile's over-flows.
3. Geometry as a science appeared in Greece after the Egyptian practical notions in
geometry had penetrated there. Greek scientists and philosophers such as Thales, Democritus,
Pythagoras, Euclid developed geometry into a strict harmonious mathematical theory.
4. Every proved theorem in geometry serves as an axiom in subsequent proofs.
5. The word "algebra" originated in Arabian language (aljebr) and it meant — "reunion of
broken parts" — воссоздание, воссоединение разрозненных частей.
6. Omar Khayym, the famous Eastern poet, philosopher, astronomer and mathematician
considered algebra to be "the scientific art".
Omar Khayym's mathematical calculations in composing Calendar were taken into
account by the French to compile the revolutionary calendar in the late XVIII century.
7. It was Democritus who was the first to compute infinitesimal quantities.
8. One metre was chosen as an International standard in measuring linear segment units
as a measure almost equal to 1/40,000,000 th part of the terrestrial meridian.
