“Robin Hood” could be one of Hollywood movies which are released in 3-D theaters. According to The Wrap, a source close to the project told them that director Ridley Scott “is breathing down the neck of executives” at Universal Pictures to give an approval for making a 3-D version of his action adventure film.

Late actress Brittany Murphy will be laid to rest on Christmas Eve, E! News reports. She will be buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in the Hollywood Hills, which is well known as the resting place for some famous Hollywood stars, like TV stars John Ritter and Freddie Prinze, and pianist Liberace just to name some.

Mathematics is the study of quantity, structure, space, change, and related topics of pattern and form. Mathematicians seek out patterns whether found in numbers, space, natural science, computers, imaginary abstractions, or elsewhere. Mathematicians formulate new conjectures and establish their truth by rigorous deduction from appropriately chosen axioms and definitions.

Throughout the 19th century mathematics became increasingly abstract. In the 19th century lived Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777–1855). Leaving aside his many contributions to science, in pure mathematics he did revolutionary work on functions of complex variables, in geometry, and on the [...]

The Renaissance (from French Renaissance, meaning “rebirth”; Italian: Rinascimento, from re- “again” and nascere “be born”) was a cultural movement that spanned roughly the 14th to the 17th century, beginning in Italy in the Late Middle Ages and later spreading to the rest of Europe.

Although the earliest Greek language texts on mathematics that have been found were written after the Hellenistic period, many of these are considered to be copies of works written during and before the Hellenistic period.

Greek mathematics constitutes a major period in the history of mathematics, fundamental in respect of geometry and the idea of formal proof. Greek mathematics also contributed importantly to ideas on number theory, mathematical analysis, applied mathematics, and, at times, approached close to integral calculus.

The Hellenistic period began in the 4th century BC with Alexander the Great’s conquest of the eastern Mediterranean, Egypt, Mesopotamia, the Iranian plateau, Central Asia, and parts of India, leading to the spread of the Greek language and culture across these areas. Greek became the language of scholarship throughout the Hellenistic world, and Greek mathematics merged with Egyptian and Babylonian mathematics to give rise to a Hellenistic mathematics.

Historians traditionally place the beginning of Greek mathematics proper to the age of Thales of Miletus (ca. 624 – 548 BC). Little is known about the life and work of Thales, so little indeed that his day of birth and death are estimated from the eclipse of 585 BCE, which probably occurred while he was [...]

Babylonian mathematics (also known as Assyro-Babylonian mathematics) refers to any mathematics of the peoples of Mesopotamia (ancient Iraq), from the days of the early Sumerians to the fall of Babylon in 539 BC. In contrast to the scarcity of sources in Egyptian mathematics, our knowledge of Babylonian mathematics is derived from some 400 clay tablets [...]
