Success has many fathers ........ proverbial.
Mathematics is a success, and certainly has many fathers. It is a very old pastime, dating back to at least the Babylonian Empire. It may even predate civilization as we understand it, in other words before written history. Any attempt to decide who was the father would be futile.

ViviNo one knows who invented mathematics; the best guess by modern historians is that it probably was developed (along with written language) by the Sumerians, in response to a need to count livestock and tally business transactions.
Among the ancient Greeks, both Archimedes and Euclid might vie for the honor; both made great strides toward contributing to our understanding of numbers, ratios, geometry, and trigonometry.
And let's not forget the Indian scholar Brahmagupta, who first lay down the rules for understanding the concepts of zero and negative numbers, in 628 A.D.
