| | | | | ancient Chinese: Encyclopedia II - Silk Road - The Roman Empire and silk Soon after the Roman conquest of Egypt in 30 BCE, regular communications and trade between India, Southeast Asia, Sri Lanka, China, the Middle East, Africa and Europe blossomed on an unprecedented scale. Land and maritime routes were closely linked, and novel products, technologies and ideas began to spread across the continents of Europe, Asia and Africa. Intercontinental trade and communication became regular, organised, and protected by the 'Great Powers.' Intense trade with the Roman Empire followed soon, confirmed by the Roman craze for ...

| | | | | ancient Chinese: Encyclopedia II - Blood - Health and disease
Blood - Ancient medicine.
Hippocratic medicine considered blood one of the four humors (together with phlegm, yellow bile and black bile). As many diseases were thought to be due to an excess of blood, bloodletting and leeching were a common intervention until the 19th century (it is still used for some rare blood disorders).
In classical Greek medicine, blood was associated with air, springtime, and with a merry and gluttonous (sanguine) personality. It was also believed to be produced exclusively by the liver. ...

| | | | | ancient Chinese: 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.

Almost all of the mathematics now taught in college had yet to be d ...

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 ...

Nevertheless, the dates of Greek mathematics are more certain than the dates of earlier mathematical writing, since a large number of chronologies exist that, overlapping, record events year by year up to the present day. Even so, many dates are uncertain; but the doubt is a matter of decades rather than centuries.

Indian mathematics, and the introduction of the Hindu-Arabic numerals, also had a major influence on Islamic mathematics.

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, ...

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 ...
