MATH 1 7:00-8:30
THE GENUIS OF THE EAST
Looking around us with all this technology and how modernize our world is make us awe. It’s amazing how genius human could be and still moving forward from this advancement. No wonder present people still looking and searching of the past to learn and understand things and answer their questions like how nothing become something.
The discovery of the Egyptian, Babylonian and Greek Mathematics are used to survive day to day basis and to gain more knowledge to understand the world same with the Chinese and Indian they study and make use of math but beyond the analysis of the early civilization. Their mathematics is more complex, have greater perception and deeper interpretation. And both China and India have very similar concept and calculation of math in what taught in school today's.
Like the China, they have decimal value system, geometry but same like the other they use blank space for zero. Other than that mathematians discover that most math techniques where discover by China and later by the West meaning their understanding are beyond comprehension. Another is the India, they uncover what's missing and could fill up the blank space - the zero, which turns nothing into something. Later they gain knowledge about trigonometry especially the sine function that could calculate any angle, the pi, the circumference, infinite fraction and infinite numbers.
This things become helpful to us people in the present that make us more comfortable so thanking and appreciating things we have is like honoring our past ancestors especially to the genius of the east. But we can’t deny there are still things needed to understand in the past and in the future that need to track down. Uncovering the truth is never easy and need patience but remember "Mathematics make sense of impossible".
