It will show that it started it developments from the basic arithmetic operations that first were used to solve simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division and how it went incorporating more operations that permitted it to solve problems that involve abstract concepts. It will show that the recorded history begins mostly with the Egyptian papyrus, and how it went passing from one civilization
