My favorite subject is Mathematics. The study of Mathematics began with Pythagoras, and he coined the term ‘Mathematics.’ Mathematics has been fundamental to advances in science, engineering, and philosophy. It has evolved from simple counting, measurement and calculation, and the systematic study of the shapes and motions of physical objects, through the application of abstraction, imagination, and logic, to the broad, complex and often abstract discipline we know today.

The first surviving examples of geometrical and algebraic calculations derive from Babylon and Egypt in about 1750 BC. The Greeks were the first mathematicians to concentrate on pure mathematics, believing that all mathematical knowledge could be derived from deduction and reasoning. They laid down axioms and built theories by using geometry. They created many instruments for watching the stars or surveying the land, all built upon mathematical principles. The most ancient mathematical texts available are from Mesopotamia and Egypt.
