Math History
Far more interesting than one might first expect, the history of mathematics is filled with bitter rivalries, political machinations, and incredible innovations by some of the most amazing minds in history. Post all questions concerning individual mathematicians, the development of mathematical theories, and the sociological impact that resulted into this category.

Who created and invented the multiplication sign?
Multiplication is invented by Human. Maths is not invention of single individual. Many Mathematicians around world discovered and invented new things and added them into Maths.
If you are driving 60 miles per hour how long would it to drive 459 miles?
Well, 50 miles in a mile every 1 and 12 seconds, so in minutes is 550 mins 48 secs or 9 hours 10 mins and 48 seconds...Sorry I love being so precise with answers :)
What is the origin of the expression plus one?
The expression "plus one" simply means to add 1 to whatever it is applied to.
If you are referring to the "+1" sometimes found in comments on forum posts and the like, it is a reference to buttons labelled with "+1" or similar text, used to vote for the post or indicate a positive opinion of the post.
Addendum:
It's also possible that this question refers to the phrase as used on invitations - where the invitation is for the recipient and their guest. It can be used when you wish to invite someone to a function and aren't sure of who they're currently seeing...

Who are the most appreciated and famous mathematicians around the world dead or alive?
2. Gauss
3. Newton
4. Hilbert
5. Archimedes
Of course there are many many more but just about every mathematician alive today will agree that Euler and Gauss will be in their personal top 5 list.

What are the values of the four fundamental operation?
The four fundamental operation have no intrinsic value. As the name suggests, they are operators. In fact, they are binary operators, which means that they take two values as input and their output is a single value. That value will depend on the inputs.
Lemma 2 says that if the curved area is approximated by inscribed and also by exscribed rectangles, where all rectanlges are of equal width, then the ratio of the exscribed areas summed up, to the curved area will be 1 as the number of rectangles tends to infinity. Also, the ratio of the sum of the area of the inscribed rectangles to the curved area to the curved area will be equal to 1 as the number of rectangles tends to infinity. In less technical language, the rectangles approximate the area under the curve, and as we use more and more (and thus thinner and thinner) rectangles, the approximation will get better and better; in fact we can make it as accurate as we want to. Lemma 3 says the same as the above, but drops the requirement that the rectangles all be of equal width.
Who invented The first Mechanical Counting Device?
The first mechanical counting device was invented by Blaise Pascal in 1642. It was primarily used as an adding machine. It could add and subtract two numbers.
What is the importance of mathematics?
Hey!
I just laid down a laminate floor. The planks were sold in packs of 8 and covered a certain square area. I had to measure my room and work out what the total area was and how many packs I needed, allowing 1 extra pack for offcuts.
When I finished I only had a few planks left in one pack, just as I had calculated.
I could not have done that if I didn't understand maths. I could either guess or:-
I would have to call someone in (at extra expense)
I would have had to keep going to the depot, to get more timber and run the chance they would sell out, or change the color.
I would be left with too many packs left over and live with the waste or take them back. (extra journey, time, waste.)
You need maths in most aspects of modern living, without it you will get ripped off or left confused. Do try to learn and do the best you can.
There are 17 girls in a class of 30 studentswhat fraction of the class is made up of girls?
17/30 ( this is in its sinplest form)
What is the first civilizationto use zero?
The first civilization to use the concept of zero is the Toltec tribe of Mesoamerica.
What is bigger 4 kilometers or 4400 meters?
4400 meters.
4 kilometres is equal to 4,000 metres
therefore
4,400 metres is larger.
