Abstract: In a retrospective review of the history of mathematics we touch on topics such as: - how the development of mathematical knowledge and the development of human civilization are interconnected? - how social environment and the authority had an influence on the direction of the development of mathematics? - how and when the first abstract and theoretical knowledge arose? - how and why the first abstract mathematical theories arose? - how and why the mathematical theories were born, developed and stopped its development? - what are the reasons for the so-called crises in mathematics? We will discuss these and some other questions, and perhaps find some answers. |
