Can you invent new math?
You can start inventing new math at almost any level, by defining new mathematical objects. For example, I can define a “super prime number” to be a prime number p such that (p+2) and (p−2) are also prime numbers.
What is new math?
Topics introduced in the New Math include set theory, modular arithmetic, algebraic inequalities, bases other than 10, matrices, symbolic logic, Boolean algebra, and abstract algebra. All of the New Math projects emphasized some form of discovery learning.
How is mathematics related to technology?
Briefly, mathematics provides methods for organizing and structuring knowledge so that, when applied to technology, it allows scientists and engineers to produce systematic, reproducible, and transmittable knowledge.
Who created development of mathematics?
the Pythagoreans
Beginning in the 6th century BC with the Pythagoreans, with Greek mathematics the Ancient Greeks began a systematic study of mathematics as a subject in its own right. Around 300 BC, Euclid introduced the axiomatic method still used in mathematics today, consisting of definition, axiom, theorem, and proof.

Are there any mathematical innovations in ancient times?
Of all the mathematical innovations since ancient times, only some are worthy of multicentenary celebrations. Certainly logarithms, celebrating their 400th anniversary this year, are among them.
What did we learn in Maths this year?
This year saw a steady stream of answers (or at least partial answers) to tough questions that had puzzled mathematicians for decades, as well as new techniques that captured our attention in a big way. Here are the numbers—and the minds behind them—that mattered most this year.
Where do most discoveries in mathematics come from?
Mathematics is vast, and most discoveries come from niche fields with very little exposure to even the general mathematical public. Nonetheless, some of the most famous discoveries are included.
