Who invented math? (Do we hang him?)

My daughter doesn't know anything. She just tries to help Daddy sometimes, beginner's luck.


Who invented math?
What brilliance have math lost due to sexism?
(IFLScience) Was math invented or discovered? This video takes a deep dive into all of the possible candidates who might have been the first mathematician.

  • 00:07 The Roman Emperor's dislike of math
  • 00:31 How ancient cultures discovered math
  • 01:38 How ancient Egyptians found math
  • 02:39 Math before ancient cultures
Hang him for playing dangerous hangman

[White men should not be allowed anywhere near a marker board to play hangman, but give all of them cameras to make more funny videos.] (Jaydaddy) Your class is playing hangman, Nov. 1, 2023. Binge the rest of the channel: youtube.com/jaydaddyy... IG: itsjaydaddy TT: itsjaydaddy.

These guys got it all wrong. I could do better. But they won't show me the rules.

Earthlings are stupid. Alien felines rule the world
[Who invented math, maths, or mathematics? It certainly was not the British, but they appropriated knowledge from Muslim and Indian advancements, brought them back to England at Oxford and Cambridge, and over the centuries erased any credit to the sources, leaving it to seem the West must have discovered all these things like algebra and the development of calculus.]

[The Greeks are credited with things that ancient Greece absorbed from ancient India and Vedic number wranglers. In particular, Pythagoras gets credited with the Pythagorean Theorem even as a recent archeological find reveals it was known to the Babylonians 1,000 years earlier. If math exists objectively to be discovered rather than invented by anyone, it is a crime to credit this person or that for any invention. Theoretical mathematicians seem intent that what they come up with is real and timeless, not fabricated or a social construct, as new methods of calculation or figuring -- fuzzy logic, machine computing, HTML code, electronics, statistics -- are discovered and developed. So no one on Earth who first "discovers" anything is actually the first to discover it.]
Seven invents new math method

(Amy Alpen) Seven didn't invent it, even if it has his name. It's also called the "Hangman Division Strategy," shown here by female mathematician Amy Alpen on May 18, 2016. Hang him next to Pythagoras' Tomb for trying to take credit!
