  • It is believed that Ancient Egyptians used complex mathematics such as algebra, arethmetic, and geometry as far back as 3000 BC.
  • It wasn't until the 16th century that most mathematical symbols were invented. Before this time math equation were written in words, making it very time consuming.

  • An icosagon is a shape with 20 sides.
  • The name of popular search engine 'google'came from a misspelling of the word google, which is a very, very large number. ( by one hundred zeros to be exact)
  • It was mathematician William Shanks who calculated the value of PI which was to 707 places but he made a mistake on the 528th digit and henceforth incorrectly calculating every digit after that. PI is therefore not a fraction and this makes it irrational number which neither repeats nor does it end when written as a decimal.
