Ancient Mathematics

[Hip-Hop-Bulls]

Sure, but the Hebrew Israelites and Nation of Islam members in this thread wouldn't appreciate me introducing non-African mathematics and derail their circlejerk.

I'll make a thread on it soon friend.

Less assuming, and more showing please.

Not a NOI member, and I don't promote "Black Supremacy"....at least by your definition of what "Black Power" or "Black Supremacy" is .

So if you got something to share, share it. Ain't nobody here promoting no "black supremacy".

I'm saying though, go look at the first couple of posts.

It's on some Hebrew Israelite/Nation of Islam shyt.

No one in Academia in this day and age EVER tries to deny our mathematical,scientific, artistic and cultural roots come from Africa. All of our species is rooted there. The only people who deny that are the uneducated.

Mathematics in its entirety is what it is because of contributions from ALL human cultures, faiths, nations and cultures.

Race is something that we made up. There is more genetic diversity within each race than there is between races.

There is no value in attributing advancements to race.

Humans did it.

The Hebrew Israelites and The NOI are not racist . All they are trying to do is uplift their people after they have been lied too and made into something other than self by teaching the truth. If you have a problem with that . Like it says in the bible, Ecc 1:4 - "For in much wisdom is much grief, and he who increases knowledge increases sorrow."

Now I dunno if you've seen the current state of the US, but the education system is not working breh . Never has, and until the gov. decides to allow the truth to be told, never will.

yall gotta watch these c*c man...they slick as hell

notice how he first referred to my earlier post as "some Hebrew Israelite/Nation of Islam shyt"

but then says that "No one in Academia in this day and age EVER tries to deny our mathematical,scientific, artistic and cultural roots come from Africa"

so he should've actually been agreeing with me since Western Civilization is based on the Greece Civilization and they learned from the Ancient Egyptians...

since he doesn't, what he really meant with that vague statement is :

"yeah, by default, science, arts came from Africa since our species come from there...but us white people created the big significant sh*t, while you negros laid out the small foundational sh*t and never progressed beyond that point"

generally, white people dont want to admit the truth about black history..they might give us a few tokens here and there just like the c*c I quoted above did....but they wont tell and admit the big significant sh*t we have done...

just like popular White Egytologist Robert Bauval in his latest book "Black Genesis : the prehistoric origins of Ancient Egypt" said :

"until very recently the very idea that an advanced Black race from Africa was at the source of the Ancient Egyptian civilization, and perhaps even of all civilization, was disturbing to many Western people and was pure anathema to those who held Eurocentric views. Thus we still find in textbooks the dubious Mediterranean or Levantine or Sumerian-Babylonian labels listed to explain the origins of the Ancient Egyptians....true some Egyptologists do at time express there could be a African origin of the Ancient Egyptians, but such views are diluted by the use of terms such as Hamitic, Half Hamitic that still imply a Mediterranean European origin."

Again cacs and their descendants are furious.

lol

I agree with type, I thought this would actually be a thread about egyptian math

Unlike you fellow human, I actually went to an university. I did a lot of mathematics, and have also taken History of Mathematics course. Not EVER, in any of my classes, have African origins of mathematics ever been denied. In both Western and Eastern Civ classes the course ALWAYS began in Africa.


You keep bringing up quotes as if I don't agree with you that your history has been kept from you. I wish more black and latino children knew their ancestor's history regarding mathematics and science, maybe we wouldn't beyond ranked dead last.

it would have progressed had he not have entered

Bullshyt. It wasn't about math. Math was used as a vehicle to introduce hate speech.

Is it hate to say where the origins of something are? Especially if popular culture leads us to believe otherwise?

This is like white people claiming affirmative action is racist

Who denied the origins of it all here? Certainly not me.

If I made a Calculus thread and pointed out that its discoverer were of the white race most of you would be in here rightfully asking me what the point of mentioning that was.

never said you denied the origins.
But you said this thread was full of hate when all that was going on was cats were exploring the origins till you by way of criticism brought in the hate

Lol @ being labled militant whenever you acknowledge true history. Nothing new.

My intention for posting it was because I think it demonstrates very clearly two patterns that are particularly
relevant to VBM:

*How the decimal system (Base-10) is related to binary (Base-2)
and
*How any mathematical operation can be accomplished purely through the processes of doubling and halving (multiplication-division are shown, and addition-subtraction are thus implied...everything else being a compounding of these basics).

It has been pointed out that the numbers of The Doubling-Halving Circuit are representative of powers of 2, and can be combined in the same manner to produce any other number.

Because of these features, I believe it is possible to reduce decimal calculations into a sort of binary arithmetic and vis versa, in order to facilitate calculations. What would take a few steps in one, might take many steps in the other...There is a certain correspondence between higher bases and lower ones. "As above, so below." :-D

On the old Marko Rodin website it stated that VBM can "condense a trillion-fold calculation to only a few integer steps". This seems to me to be the general principle behind it.

To describe it in a different way, let us approach it geometrically. To quote an interesting website, "Shape is
defined by angles irrespective of scale. A regular tetrahedron has unchanging surface and central angles regardless of its size -- and so for any object, no matter how complex. This angular aspect of experience links metaphorically to the idea of eternal principles."

As Dan Winter would put it, "Ratio is sacred. Scale is profane". I interpret this to mean that while the sizes of
things (i.e.: the "scale") may seem to change, the ratios between them same. This is true whether we are speaking of things as "small" as atoms or as "large" as galaxies. Same tone, different octave. ;-)

To quote Buckminster Fuller, "when an object's length is doubled, its surface area is quadrupled, and its volume
octupled" [in reference to symmetrical polyhedra]. Isn't it interesting that for every increase in dimension we are
Doubling. Doubling and Halving are literally how we scale dimensions. Might this be a key to "computing multi-dimensionally"? Is it possible to reduce a very complex calculation into a simple one, carry it out, and then "unpack" it to get the result of the more complex one?

The act of "casting out nines" is not arbitrary, but very significant. If this is to compress a larger number to its fundamental digit, how might one "decompress" it?
