 The History of Measurement in Mathematics Britannica defines measurement as “the process of associating numbers with physical quantities and phenomena. Measurement is fundamental to almost all everyday activities” (Augustyn, 2020).     Like all mathematics, the concept of measurement evolved through human curiosity. One of the earliest units of mathematical measurement was ‘time’ by tracking the movements of the sun. Depending on the ‘time’ or placement of the sun, determined when people would eat, sleep, or hunt. Two early inventions to measure time were the sundial and the water clock. The sundial would track the time by measuring a shadow cast by a vertical stick (Vitrek, 2022). There is evidence of early sundials being used in Ancient Egypt in 1700 BC (Bryner, 2013).   It is believed water clocks were invented to record time during periods of no sunlight for sundials. The oldest known example of the water clock is also from Ancient Egypt and is dated to...

  THE HISTORY OF MATHEMATICS The history of mathematics deals with the various mathematical discoveries that many people from all over the world, made over many years.  Its history is different from other histories, as it represents a unique aspect of human thought (Boyer & Merzbach, 1991). You can trace the origin of different mathematical disciplines back to ancient civilizations such as Babylonian, Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Chinese, Indian, Islamic Empires, Mayan, and Medieval European, all the way to the Renaissance and more modern discoveries.   The earliest evidence of prehistoric mathematics is in the form of numbers and patterns from more than 20,000 years ago (Boyer & Merzbach, 1991). In 1970 during an excavation at the  Border Cave  in the Lebombo Mountains between Swaziland and South Africa, a fibula of a baboon was found, which had 29 defined marks on it, and was dated to be 37,000 years old (Williams, 1997). This is believed to be ...
