Math mostly came from Greece.

Nobody is certain, but Mathematics may have been created even before the first words were spoken by humans. For example, our ancestors surely encountered some of the following problems:

  • Hunger
  • An attack by wild beasts
  • Aggression by another group

Our ancestors may have used some Logic to determine the best place to find food and satisfy their hunger. They could have applied Math Theory (applied mathematics) to determine if they had enough rocks to repel the attacking beasts. And they could have used both Logic and Applied Math to determine if it was best to stand and fight or run from an aggressive group of neighbors. If you think through these situations yourself you will realize that you can determine a course of action or reach a decision without speaking one single word! Congratulations! You just heard the first whispers of the Language of Mathematics in your head!

The ability of humans to communicate through language, and their enhanced artistic creativity and dexterity with tools, led to the invention of writing systems. First they were to record sounds, and words, and to symbolize objects, yet eventually more complex thoughts such as mathematical logic were symbolized. It is this ability to communicate math through its written language that makes it so useful.

Where did the math symbol pi in math come from?

'pi' is the lower case letter 'p' from the Classical Greek Alphabet. It refers to 'proportion, because for all circles, however, large of small , the constant of proportion (p/pi) between the circumference and the diameter is 3.141592.... , which is an irrational number, which means it cannot be converted to a ratio/fraction. Casually, the decimals recur to infinity and there is no regular order in the decimal digits. Algebraically, Circumference is directly proportional to diameter. Reduced to letters C is directly proportional to d. This is then equated with a constant(k) C = k*d k = C/d From ancient times the 'k' was substituted by 'pi/p' as it refers to 'proportion'. Hence we have pi = C/d or C = pi*d 'd' being the length of two(2) radii is substitutied again as C = 2pir In school/college, when learning about circle geometry, you will probably be given pi = 3.14, 3.1416 or 22/7 . These figures are only APPROXIMATIONS, but are given for ease of learning.
