ASIANS by Edwin Banquerigo

          Before the advancement and development of mathematics as a whole by the Western people, Eastern people gave the idea of the number systems that we are using today. The eastern people commonly known as the Asians were not much credited by the westerners.

          Astronomy is one of the arising fields during this time of history of mankind. An amazing aspect is that they use mathematics to observe the heavenly bodies and explain certain phenomena. Incorporation of Mathematics in Science mainly flourished in this time. People are trying to explain everything that is happening around. Like the Indian mathematicians that measured the distance of the moon and sun from the Earth using trigonometry. The Chinese emperors are one of the greatest men that ever lived and have the toughest body to surpass hundreds of women in a span of a few days. They get laid almost every day with hundreds of women and I say that is amazing. They used mathematics to equally share their time to hundreds of women. That is a really fun way to use mathematics and a fun problem to solve.

          The Chinese still used mathematics in their society in a useful way. They used it in trade and for fun. The magic square and uses arithmetic patterns to solve daily life problems.


           The HINDU-Arabic numerals which came from the Indians and reviewed by the Arabs are one of the greatest contributions of the Asians to the present civilization of mankind. At first the Indians they had the value to the concept of nothingness. They had the number zero to represent nothingness. The properties of zero are identified and once a whole number is divided by zero infinity arises from the depths of the land of the Great Asians. And before I forget and let me say my memory is a little blurry, the way that the value of Pi was represented in the documentary through a boat travelling at different distances and when the right distance was travelled the greatest approximation of the value of Pi was acquired. Asians really contributed a lot to the present day mathematics.
