Knowledge and use of basic mathematics have alwaysbeen an inherent and integral part of individual and group life. Refinements ofthe basic ideas are visible in mathematical texts originating in the ancientEgyptian, Mesopotamian, Indian, Chinese, Greek and Islamic worlds. Rigorousarguments first appeared in Greek mathematics, most notably in Euclid's Elements.The development continued in fitful bursts until the Renaissance period of the16th century, when mathematical innovations interacted with new scientificdiscoveries, leading to an acceleration in research that continues to the presentday.[6]Today, mathematics is used throughout the world as an essential tool in manyfields, including natural science, engineering, medicine, and the social sciencessuch as economics and psychology. Applied mathematics, the branch of mathematicsconcerned with application of mathematical knowledge to other fields, inspires andmakes use of new mathematical discoveries and sometimes leads to the developmentof entirely new disciplines. Mathematicians also engage in pure mathematics, ormathematics for its own sake, without having any application in mind, althoughpractical applications for what began as pure mathematics are often discoveredlater.[7]
