HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF MATHEMATICS: ANCIENT MATHEMATICIANS, THEIR WORKS, AND CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF MATHEMATICS

Mamirov Makhmudjon , Teacher Jizzakh State Pedagogical University Academic Lyceum, Uzbekistan

Abstract

This article explores the historical development of mathematics, focusing on ancient mathematicians and their significant contributions. It examines key civilizations, including Mesopotamia, Egypt, India, China, Greece, and the Islamic Golden Age, highlighting their unique mathematical innovations. The study covers foundational concepts such as the base-60 system, the introduction of zero, and the axiomatic method established by Euclid. By analyzing the interconnectedness of these contributions, the article emphasizes the collaborative nature of mathematical knowledge and its evolution over time. Ultimately, it underscores the enduring legacy of ancient mathematicians in shaping modern mathematics.
