| | | | | 1700 BC: Encyclopedia II - History of mathematics - Classical Indian mathematics 200 BC - AD 1600 From 200 BC, mathematicians in India began studying mathematics for the sole purpose of science, starting with Jaina mathematicians between 200 BC and AD 400. They discovered transfinite numbers, set theory, logarithms, fundamental laws of indices, cubic equations, quartic equations, sequences and progressions, permutations and combinations, squaring and extracting square roots, and finite and infinite powers. Discoveries written in the Bakshali Manuscript include solutions of linear equations with upto five unknowns, the solution of ...

| | | | | | 1700 BC: Encyclopedia II - State - Introduction The word "state" in contemporary parlance often means the "Westphalian state", in reference to the Peace of Westphalia of 1648 and is used most often in international relations theory. In this sense, the modern state is an entity that enjoys extensive autonomy in its domestic economic and social policy, largely free from interference from other states and powers. A number of modern commentators have claimed that we are experiencing the decline of the Westphalian state as the principal actor of the international system, pointing to eco ...

| | | | | 1700 BC: Encyclopedia II - History of mathematics - Complex numbers When the complex numbers were introduced, there were many who argued that they were imaginary constructs to solve the cubic, and that they should not be considered 'real'. This is the origin of the terms imaginary and real for the numbers. However, mathematicians found the new world of complex numbers to be elegant and compelling. To represent a solution to the equation shown above (i.e., X * X + 1 = 0) mathematicians eventually settled on the letter i. However, in the early 19th century, one fu ...

| | | | | 1700 BC: Encyclopedia II - State - The domestic point of view Looked at from the point of view of an individual nation, the state is a centralized organization of the whole country. Those studying this dimension emphasize the relationship between the state and its people. The English political philosopher Thomas Hobbes argued that in order to avoid a multi-sided civil war, in which life was "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short", individuals must necessarily surrender many of their "natural rights" -- including that of attacking each other -- to the "Leviathan", a unified and centralized state. In ...

| | | | | 1700 BC: Encyclopedia II - State - Philosophies of the state Different political philosophies have distinct opinions concerning the state as a domestic organization. In the modern era, these philosophies emerged with the rise of capitalism, which coincided with the (re)emergence of the state as a separate and centralized sector of society. Philosophers such as Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau pondered issues concerning the ideal and actual roles of the state. Recent philosophers like John Rawls and Robert Nozick were more concerned with distributive just ...

| | | | | 1700 BC: Encyclopedia II - Mitanni - Possible connections to Sanskrit and Indo-Aryans Some scholars try to equate the deities venerated by the Mitanni with Vedic deities, and trace the names used by the aristocracy to Indo-Aryan roots. In a treaty between the Hittites and the Mitanni, the deities Mitra, Varuna, Indra, and Nasatya (Ashvins) are invoked. Kikkuli's horse training text includes technical terms such as aika (eka, one), tera (tri, three), panza (pancha, five), satta (sapta, seven), na (nava, nine), vartana (vartana, round). Another ...

| | | | | 1700 BC: Encyclopedia II - Mitanni - Hurri Mitanni/Maitani and Hanilgalbat "Mitanni" seems to have been the native term; this entity may also have been the Biblical Harran, though this is contested. We may assume a Hurrian population with an Indo-Aryan aristocracy.
No native sources for the history of Mitanni (i.e. Hanilgalbat) have been found so far. The account is mainly based on Assyrian, Hittite and Egyptian sources, as well as inscriptions from nearby places in Syria. Often it is not even possible to establish synchronicity between the rulers of different countries and cities, let alone give unco ...

| | | | | 1700 BC: Encyclopedia II - Minoan civilization - Art The great collection of Minoan art is in the museum at Heraklion, near Knossos on the north shore of Crete. Minoan art, with other remains of material culture, especially the sequence of ceramic styles, has allowed archaeologists to define three phases of Minoan culture.
The first, Early Minoan phase (EMI, EMII and EMIII) rose out of local Neolithic culture about 2500 BC and lasted until about 2300 BC. The Middle Minoan culture (MMI, MMII and MMIII) lasted from about 2150 BC to 1700 BC. The Late Minoan phase is also subdivided in thre ...

| | | | | 1700 BC: Encyclopedia II - Minoan civilization - Agriculture The Minoans raised cattle, sheep, pigs, goats, and grew wheat, barley, vetch, chickpeas, cultivated grapes, figs, olives, and grew poppies, for poppyseed and perhaps opium. The Minoans domesticated bees, and adopted pomegranates and quinces from the Near East, though not lemons and oranges as is often imagined. They developed Mediterranean polyculture, the practice of growing more than one crop at a time, and as a result of their more varied and healthier diet, the population increased.
Farmers used wooden plows, bound by leather to wood ...

| | | | | 1700 BC: Encyclopedia II - History of mathematics - 18th century As we have seen, knowledge of the natural numbers, 1, 2, 3,..., as preserved in monolithic structures, is older then any surviving written text. The earliest civilizations, in Mesopotamia, Egypt, India, and China, knew arithmetic.
One way to view the development of the various number systems of modern mathematics is to see new numbers invented to answer questions about arithmetic performed on older numbers. In prehistoric times, fractions answered the question: what number, when multiplied by 3, gives the answer 1. In India and China, ...

| | | | | 1700 BC: Encyclopedia II - History of mathematics - 17th century The 17th century saw an unprecedented explosion of mathematical and scientific ideas that not only fascinated philosophers but had industrial applications that began to make major changes in the way people lived.
Copernicus, a Pole, had written that planets orbit the Sun. Galileo, an Italian, observed the moons of Jupiter in orbit about that planet, using a telescope based on a toy imported from Holland. Tycho Brahe, a Dane, had gathered an enormous quantity of mathematical data describing the positions of the planets in the sky. His ...

| | | | | 1700 BC: Encyclopedia II - History of Iraq - Modern History Ottoman rule over Iraq lasted until the Great War (World War I) when British forces invaded the country. During the invasion the British suffered a major defeat at the hands of the Turkish army near Kut. An armistice was signed in 1918. For Britain, Iraq was of strategic importance as it provided protection for the Anglo-Persian oil pipeline that was vital to the British Royal Navy.
Iraq was carved out of the Ottoman Empire by the French and British as agreed in the Sykes-Picot Agreement. On 11 November 1920 it became a League of Nations mandate un ...

| | | | | 1700 BC: Encyclopedia II - History of Iraq - The Turkish Conquest During the late 14th and early 15th centuries, the Black Sheep Turkmen ruled the area now known as Iraq. In 1466, the White Sheep Turkmen defeated the Black Sheep and took control. Later, most of Iraq would become part of the Safavid Empire that arose in Iran in 1501.
In the 16th century Iraq became a part of the Ottoman Empire, although the Safavids temporarily recaptured much of Iraq during the first part of the 17th century.

| | | | | 1700 BC: Encyclopedia II - History of Iraq - The Arab conquest and the early Islamic period The first organised conflict between local Bedouin Arab tribes and Iranian forces seems to have been in 634, when the Arabs were defeated at the Battle of the Bridge. There was a force of some 5000 Muslims under Abū `Ubayd ath-Thaqafī, which was routed by the Iranians. Around 636, a much larger Arab Muslim force under Sa`d ibn Abī Waqqās defeated the main Iranian army at the Battle of al-Qādisiyyah and moved on to sack the capital of the Iranian Empire the Ctesiphon. By the end of 638, the Muslims had conquered almost all of Western Ira ...

| | | | | 1700 BC: Encyclopedia II - History of mathematics - Egyptian and Babylonian mathematics 2000 BC - 600 BC The oldest mathematics text discovered so far is the Moscow papyrus, which is an Egyptian Middle Kingdom papyrus dated circa 2050 BC - 1800 BC. Like many ancient mathematical texts, it consists of what are today called "word problems" or "story problems", which were apparently intended as entertainment. One problem is considered to be of particular importance because it gives a method for finding the volume of a pyramid: "If you are told: A truncated pyramid of 6 for the vertical height by 4 on the base by 2 on the top. You are to square thi ...

| | | | | 1700 BC: Encyclopedia II - History of mathematics - Ancient Indian mathematics 800 BC - 200 BC The earliest known mathematics in ancient India dates back to 3000 BC with the Indus Valley civilization. After its collapse in 1700 BC however, writing was absent in South Asia for a long period. There is considerable controversy regarding the dates when writing was re-developed in India and when the Brahmi script was developed.[5] Some scholars, such as Georg Bühler, date the Brahmi script as early as the 8th century BC, others from the Maurya dynasty in the 4th century BC. Some evidence dates it to 600 BC (see Brāhmī), while some schol ...

Indian mathematics, and the introduction of the Hindu-Arabic numerals, also had a major influence on Islamic mathematics. Like the Hindu mathematicians, Islamic mathematicians were especially interested in astronomy. The works of Brahmagupta were translated into Arabic circa 766.
