The first appearance of evidence of the use of mathematics in the Indian subcontinent was in the Indus Valley Civilization, which dates back to around 3300 BC. Excavations at Harrapa, Mohenjo-daro and the surrounding area of the Indus River, have uncovered much evidence of the use of basic mathematics. The mathematics used by this early Harrapan civilisation was very much for practical means, and was primarily concerned with weights, measuring scales and a surprisingly advanced brick technology, which utilised ratios. The ratio for brick ...

As a result of the mathematics required for the construction of religious altars, many rules and developments of geometry are found in Vedic works, along with many astronomical developments for religious purposes. These include the use of geometric shapes, including triangles, rectangles, squares, trapezia and circles, equivalence through numbers and area, squaring the circle and visa-versa, the Pythagorean theorem and Pythagorean triples, and computations of π. Vedic works also contain all four arithmetical operators (addition, subt ...

This period is often known as the golden age of Indian Mathematics. Although earlier Indian mathematics was also very significant, this period saw great mathematicians such as Aryabhatta, Brahmagupta, Mahavira Acharya and Bhaskara Acharya give a broad and clear shape to almost all the branches of mathematics. Their important contributions to mathematics would spread throughout Asia and the Middle East, and eventually Europe and other parts of the world ...

The Kerala School was a school of mathematics and astronomy founded by Madhava in Kerala (in South India) which included as its prominent members Parameshvara, Neelakanta Somayaji, Jyeshtadeva, Achyuta Pisharati, Melpathur Narayana Bhattathiri and Achyuta Panikkar. It flourished between the 14th and 16th centuries and has its intellectual roots with Aryabhatta who lived in the 5th century. The lineage continues down to modern times but the original research seems to have ended with Narayana Bhattathiri (1559-1632). These astronomers, in atte ...

The game is played in seven rounds known as epochs. In each epoch, each player plays a different empire; at the end of the epoch, the empires stop expansion and players score points. New empires then rise for the next epoch, although the remains of the previous empires stay on the board and score points for as long as they remain unconquered. The majority of points come from presence and/or dominance of various regions (generically called "areas") of the world, which fluctuate in worth throughout the game. For example, the area of Northern E ...

Aakheperure Amenhotep II (d. 1401/1400 BC) was the seventh Pharaoh of the 18th dynasty of Egypt. He ruled from 1427 BC to 1401 BC and is thought to have enjoyed a reign of 25 Years and 10 Months as a certain Misphragmouthosis according to Josephus' version of Manetho's Epitome. An inscription containing the king's prenomen was written on a wine jar from Amenhotep II's funerary temple at Thebes. It is dated to this king's highest known date--his Year 26--and names the Pharaoh's Vintner, Panehsy. Amenhotep II - Reig ...

Tiryns (in ancient greek Τίρυνς) is a Mycenaean archeological site in the Greek nomos of Argolis in the Peloponnese peninsula, some kilometres north of Nauplion. Tiryns was a hill fort with occupation ranging back seven thousand years, from the beginning of the bronze age. It reached its height between 1400 and 1200 BC. Its most notable features were its palace, its cyclopean tunnels and especially its walls, which gave the city its Homeric epithet of "mighty walled Tiryns". In ancient times, the city was linked to the myths surrounding Heracles ...
