  1. 3000 BC

    Early Mathematical Concepts in Ancient Civilizations

    The earliest records of Matemáticas date back to ancient Mesopotamia, where people used basic arithmetic for trade and agriculture. The Sumerians developed a base-60 number system, which influenced later mathematical concepts.
  2. 2000 BC

    Geometry in Ancient Egypt

    Egyptians utilized Matemáticas for land measurement and construction. The Rhind Mathematical Papyrus reveals their understanding of geometry, including the calculation of areas and volumes.
  3. 500 BC

    Pythagorean Theorem and Greek Mathematics

    The Pythagorean theorem, attributed to Pythagoras, marked a significant advancement in Matemáticas, emphasizing the relationship between the sides of right triangles. This era laid the groundwork for future geometric studies.
  4. 300 BC

    Euclidean Geometry and "Elements"

    Euclid's "Elements," written around 300 BC, systematically compiled the knowledge of Matemáticas at the time, establishing axioms and theorems that are still taught today in geometry courses.
  5. 250 BC

    Archimedes and the Foundations of Calculus

    Archimedes made significant contributions to Matemáticas, particularly in understanding the areas and volumes of shapes. His methods foreshadowed integral calculus, influencing future mathematicians.
  6. 825 AD

    Al-Khwarizmi and Algebra

    The Persian mathematician Al-Khwarizmi wrote "Al-Kitab al-Mukhtasar fi Hisab al-Jabr wal-Muqabala," which introduced the term "algebra" and laid the foundations for modern algebraic methods in Matemáticas.
  7. 1202 AD

    Fibonacci and the Introduction of Hindu-Arabic Numerals

    In his book "Liber Abaci," Fibonacci introduced the Hindu-Arabic numeral system to Europe, revolutionizing Matemáticas by simplifying calculations and laying the groundwork for modern arithmetic.
  8. 1637 AD

    Descartes and Analytical Geometry

    René Descartes published "La Géométrie," which combined algebra and geometry, leading to the development of analytical geometry—a crucial advancement in the field of Matemáticas.
  9. 1687 AD

    Newton and Leibniz: The Birth of Calculus

    Sir Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz independently developed calculus, a major branch of Matemáticas that deals with rates of change and areas under curves, transforming the study of motion and change.
  10. 1734 AD

    Euler and the Rise of Modern Mathematics

  11. 1854 AD
