we always talk about greek mathematics and how Euclid is the "father of geometry", but that is a Eurocentric belief

Egyptians and the Babylonians had concepts of geometry way before Euclid and the Greeks
>>
focusing on greek mathematical history is not "eurocentric"

The Greeks were the first civilization to introduce mathematical proofs and Euclid was the first to establish an axiomatic system for geometry essentially launching the formal science of mathematics of today.

So while the Egyptians and Babylonians had mathematical concepts...more so the Babylonians, the Greeks were really the first to revolutionze math on such a fundamental level

You're just lending credence to the myth that the ancient Egyptians were black and not Arab
>>
who fucking cares.

gauss didn't invent gaussian elimination but we call it after him.

a lot of chinese mathematics is overall disregarded.

but its just math. the discovery is more important than the discoverer and certainly more important than the geographic region from which it was discovered.

>>8271389
Euclid didn't discover shit, he just complied and ordered all the Greeks' mathematical knowledge in a comperehensible manner.

Archimedes invented calculus centuries before Newton.

Ancient Egyptian slaves rendered those stones slabs with what tools? They weren't even in the bronze age when these structures are said to have been constructed. How could they shape rock so quickly, even with a billion slaves?

cold hammered copper tools
limestone is soft
basalt is hard and used for tools
thousands of people working for months every year, for 25 years.

Didn't the Egyptians have a more 'brute force' method of mathematics? Keep trying things until something worked?

Math can't be proven by itself, if it is.. Then it is inconsistent.

Concrete?

How they figured out a long lasting recipe and mined mass quantities is another story.

Most of eastern anything in general is disregarded. Like their methods of construction without using metal, and their wooden buildings still standing just fine thousands of years later.
