BTW Who Was the First Mathematician in the World?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is not known though... The first ever text about Mathematics was written by the Babylon. It was not known as Mathematics until Pythagoras first introduces the term itself.

Technically yes.. but the first people who invented Maths is the Babylonians.
