counting stuff (storages, harvest) went on in ancient Egypt and ancient Babylonia and there was atronomy in ancient China and the Greek did a lot on geometry, but it really started when the number 0 was invented
not by the Greek, but by the Hindu mathematicians Aryabhata and Varamihara in India around or shortly after the year 520 A.D.

I was pretty good at math back in high school (got highest possible grade at the exam and everything) and I still hated it. My teacher told me I got 13 (which is only given to outstanding replies, meaning you can answer all questions correctly and still not get it), because I'd solved this one question in a totally irregular manner. I laugghed my ass off, was just the easiest way, spared me all the trouble with lousy formulas and stuff.
Anyway, my point was, I still found it boring as hell. Might be lack of knowledge, and if I'd kept at it, I'd discover the math muse.

algebra can be beautiful, for example reading a nice paper or proving your own theorem; but it can be very frustrating as well, when you don't understand some derivation or when you can't prove your theoremsiderea said:i know, but i'm at my job and i'm already having 20 google windows open trying to look for the history of liquors and more specific elixirs and there's little to be found. any help = welcome

i think it all went wrong when i got that maths teacher who thought he was some 'funny' stand up comedian.
he even wrote poems on our exams.

when did you discover maths alwin?
i just remember my brother told me that the two ends of
a straight line (which isn't a line but a collection of infinite dots) wouldn't meet if they'd go around the world
then something changed in my brain.
though i dunno if i can gasp these kind of statements.
hmm.
infinityyyyyyy

If zero was invented, and maths came to life when zero was invented, we can say that maths was invented too.
