Math Presentation

Greating to everyone!
As you all know we have a presentation on pretty interesting theme

“Math”. And I would like to start from history of this vital field of study.
1) MATH HISTORY
Mathematics is not just a collection of numbers and formulas—it is a universal language

that has evolved over millennia(тисячоліття), shaping civilizations and driving technological
advancements. Today, I’d like to start our pretty interesting journey from history.
And won’t start from ancient Egypt, because the only very good thing that was developed
- counting system. As you can see on presentation it looks pretty strange in compare with our
modern version, but everything should start from something so for their time it was pretty useful.
But major glow up was from 600 to 300 BCE (Before the Christian Era) – Greeks. You
may not fully understand the amount of innovations they have opened in Math, so I’ll try to
make it clear for you. Now on presentation you can see someone and I think with this photo it
won’t take a lot of effort to understand that it is Pythagoras. You all know him if you were in
middle school for his Pythagorean theorem (The sum of the areas of the two squares on the legs
equals the area of the square on the hypotenuse) and it pretty simple but it really helps a lot of
engineers today and not only for them, but it also very helped another person you everyone know
- Euclid.
That’s not just someone. That’s a father of geometry and mathematician from the big
letter. His work, Elements systematically compiled the geometric knowledge of his time into 13
books. Remarkably, Elements was used as a textbook for over 2,000 years, laying the foundation
for modern geometry.
Next brilliant inventor and mathematician – Archimedes. He invented levers,
buoyancy(quality of being able to float), and areas of shapes. As, I hope, you see on picture you
can understand that he was working with volumetric figures and upgraded knowledge about
them.
After this figure was “Dark Ages” because of decline of Roman Empire, but after near 11
centuries started another period – “Golden Age”. Scholars like Al-Khwarizmi introduced the
world to algebra. This mathematician wrote a work "The Compendious Book on Calculation by
Completion and Balancing." His work laid the groundwork for solving equations and introduced
the concept of algorithms, the basis of modern computing. Also he added numbers in form we
know them (1, 2, 3…).
And then started Renaissance in Europe and next outstanding person was Leonardo
Fibonacci, whose famous Fibonacci sequence appears in nature and has uses in different
industries. But he wasn’t the only, next one was – Rene Descartes, who merged algebra and
geometry with his development of analytic geometry, giving us the Cartesian coordinate system
— a fundamental tool in modern science and engineering.
Of course, that’s only small piece of hole history of a math, but I told you about the most
influential people in mathematics and hope that you found something new in it.
2) MATH IN ENGLISH
And now we will talk about Math in English. I hope you all know what does plus, minus,
multiplication, division and equal mean. If not you can see them on board. And this operation
will sound like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Also there are some another
symbols such as “less than”, “greater than”, “less than or equal”, “greater than or equal”,
“subset”, “propersubset”, “root” etc, that you usually using in your typical math tasks. Then
powers and logarithms, something you usually using now. Powers pretty easy to understand
because it's just the number of times a number is multiplied by itself. Like 2 power 2 is 4, 3
power 3 is 27 and so on. Logarithm the number that shows how many times a number, called the
base, has to be multiplied by itself to produce another number.
If we talk about geometry you should already have heard by now about circle, triangle,
rectangle, oval, square, pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, parallelogram, cube, cone, cylinder etc.
When we tall about math we usually counting perimeter or area. That’s why we should find
radius, diameter, height, side of this shape and so on. And usually we using a “pi”. I guess you
Next I would like to tell you about some technical terms such as ∀ (for all) and ∃ (there
know that pi is considered to be 3,14.
exists) that used to define mathematical proofs and algorithms. Also another complicated
symbols such as “in”, “and”, “or”, “implies”, “if and only if” or “equivalent”, “not”, “caret”,
“reversed caret”.
