Since the historical times, Greek civilization has played one of the major roles in the history and development of mathematics. To this day, a number of Greek Mathematicians are considered for their innovations and influence on mathematics. Euclid was one of these Greek mathematicians that developed the study of Geometry. This is the mathematics that studies: TRIANGLES The Flatiron Building in New York is shaped like a triangular prism

People have used practical math as far back as written records exist.
Mathematics is the study of topics like quantity, structure, space and change. Mathematicians use abstraction and logic to prove if something is true or false. |
