Prehistoric Times

Earliest Roots
Presocratics

+


In Ancient Egypt

- Number system, geometry

- Official Calendar: 12 months, 30 days each, 5 days at the end of the year

*It was simpler than the Babylonian calendar for not taking lunar and solar cycles

- Center of Alchemy

The earliest roots of science can be traced to Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia in around 3000 to 1200 BCE.

Earliest Roots

+

  • Animal physiology
    • Mesopotamian medicine- no division between rational science and magic
    • Mathematics
    • Astronomy
    • Babylonian astronomy was "the first and highly successful attempt at giving a refined mathematical description of astronomical phenomena."



The ancient Mesopotamians had extensive knowledge about the chemical properties of clay, sand, metal ore, bitumen, stone, and other natural materials, and applied this knowledge to practical use in manufacturing pottery, faience, glass, soap, metals, lime plaster, and waterproofing.

India

+


Mathematical achievements from Mesopotamia had some influence on the development of mathematics in India,.

-Appeared with the Indus Valley Civilization(4th millennium BCE)

There were confirmed transmissions of mathematical ideas between India and China.

Some of the earliest linguistic activities can be found in Iron Age India (1st millennium BCE)

Other Developments

Chinese Astronomy

China

+

The longest continuous sequence from any civilization

  • records of sunspots (112 records from 364 BCE),
  • supernovas (1054),
  • lunar and solar eclipses.

Chinese mathematics

+

From the earliest, the Chinese used a positional decimal system on counting boards in order to calculate.

Inventions

+

Zhang Heng:

- a seismometer in 132 CE

Zhang called his device the 'instrument for measuring the seasonal winds and the movements of the Earth', so-named because he and others thought that earthquakes were most likely caused by the enormous compression of trapped air

- a COMPASS

preSocratics

Ionia

was an ancient region on the central part of the western coast of Anatolia in present-day Turkey

Science dense period: 600 BCE- 400 BCE

Ancient Greece- 800BCE

Natural Philosophy

Schools of Thoughts:

-Groups of teachers and students who thought about the same problem.
