Who gave concept of set in mathematics?
Georg Cantor and Richard Dedekind developed modern set theory.
To be precise, millennium is not itself a number; it is a number of years. A millennium is one thousand years. The 'mill' affix means one thousand, and the 'ennium' has its origin in the word annum, the Latin word for year. Millennium can also refer in general to a future hoped-for eutopian age.

What did the mathmetician Omar Khayyam find out in 1074?
He was Recognised as the author of the most important treatise on algebra before modern times as reflected in his Treatise on Demonstration of Problems of Algebra giving a geometric method for solving cubic equations by intersecting a hyperbola with a circle. He also contributed to calendar reform and may have proposed a heliocentric theory well before Copernicus.

Unfortunately, the browser used for posting questions is hopelessly inadequate for mathematics: it strips away most symbols. All that we can see is "...find Th and Th derivative of y - five cos (twox) ...". From that it is not at all clear what the missing symbols (operators) might be. I am guessing that you want the nth and (n+1)th derivatives of something like y = -5*cos(2x). I am also assuming that you are familiar with the chain rule for finding derivatives. Finally, this browser is also rubbish and I cannot show superscripts so I will use the ^ symbol to represent powers..
y = -5*cos(2x)dy/dx = -5*[-sin(2x)]*2 = 2*5*sin(2x) d^2y/dx^2 = 2*5*cos(2x)*2 = 2^2*5*cos(2x)d^3y/dx^3 = 2^2*5*[-sin(2x)]*2 = -2^3*5*sin(2x) d^4y/dx^4 = -2^3*5*cos(2x)*2 = -2^4*5*cos(2x) = 2^4*y
So,for n = 1, 5, 9 ... [n = 1 mod(4)]: d^ny/dx^n = 2^n*5*sin(2x) = 2^n*5*cos(pi/2 - 2x)for n = 2, 6, 10 ... [n = 2 mod(4)]: d^ny/dx^n = 2^n*5*cos(2x) = -2^n*y
for n = 3, 7, 11 ... [n = 3 mod(4)]: d^ny/dx^n = -2^n*5*sin(2x) = -2^n*5*cos(pi/2 - 2x)
for n = 4, 8, 12 ... [n = 0 mod(4)]: d^ny/dx^n = -2^n*5*cos(2x) = 2^n*y
