Question

Who was the father of Geometry, Algebra, Calculus, and Statistics?

Answer 1

Calculus was "created" by Sir Isaac Newton.

Answer 2

Geometry was already in existence in 3000 B.C. in ancient civilizations of Babylon and Egypt ,but was a nameless mathematical system.

Answer 3

No one person created anything since it's a collaborative effort that spanned hundreds if not thousands of years. There is no single 'father' (or mother) of any branch of math or science.

Answer 4

I am not sure about their parents

Answer 5

According to Wikipedia, the Greeks founded algebra, but other sources say that ancient Babylonians and Egyptians.

Answer 6

Answer 9

lilai3, that may be true, but newton himself admitted that he "stood on the shoulders of giants" so he had help as well

Answer 13

you are all wrong, I am the father of Geometry, Algebra, Calculus, and Statistics

Answer 14

purplesnowman, the question is vague and very misleading for the reasons I stated above

Answer 15

try Eclid for geometry

Newton or Libnitz for calculus

Algebra comes from China and the Middle east

the word Algebra come from Arabic

Answer 16

loooool

Answer 17

Maybe I could list all of those people

Answer 18

campbell_st, Euclid may have had original ideas, but his works were mostly taken from ideas others have stated earlier in time

Answer 19

I didn't make the question. I am just trying to solve it for my homework.

Answer 20

his elements are highly cited though

Answer 21

well he documented a lot of plane geometry...

Answer 22

Isn't Euclid the father of geometry?

Answer 23

and hence the name, Eucidian Geometry..

Answer 24

It was me.

Answer 25

abb0t, and who was the mother?

Answer 26

Also me.

Answer 27

Answer 30

who knows... its all supposition.

Answer 31

No, Abb0t and Abb0t.
Same-sex marriages.

Answer 32

@lilai3 Calculus started in Egypt before Newton, (Integral calculus). Isaac Newton created differential calculus.

Answer 33

Okay I guess I will just put Abb0t as my answer for all of them! Haha! That would be funny.

Answer 34

abbot they just don't understand smh

Answer 35

isn't it frustrating!

Answer 36

I wonder how is it possible to have a relation with one's self? But I guess for Abb0t anything is possible, even that....

Answer 37

I just don't know what to put for algebra and statistics

Answer 38

Abb0t

Answer 39

He is father and mother of all of them.

Answer 40

I know but I don't think that my teacher will accept him as my answer.

Answer 41

Answer 44

So I should just write down all of the answers I get from google?

Answer 45

Well, some answers you got here already.
