Best Answer

The most famous math-related thing the Greeks did, was by a man named Pythagoras. He invented the right-angled triangle formula.

a2 +b2 = c2.

This then formed Pythagorean triplets. eg. 3,4,5

5,12,13

etc...

Good question. in math Algebra was first originated from the arabs, and math was present in ancient Egypt with fractions and other mathematical concepts.

Sometimes it depends on the specific branch of math but for your question, if the answer is generalized, the ancient Greeks developed math and not the english people nor the arabs although algebra was from the arabs named “الجبر”, in conclusion, the greeks developed the earliest form of mathematics.
