ABSTRACT
After successfully conquering the simple arithmetical tasks of counting, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, scholars slowly began to address significantly more challenging mathematical problems. These started with the calculation of 2 , π, areas and volumes of objects, and astronomy (orbit projections of heavenly bodies). Eventually, this led to the development of well-defined numerical methods and procedures, which were initially performed by hand, and later by a computer. Initially, fundamental problems in physics, in particular, motion, led to the development of many innovative numerical methods. This is now a well-established branch of mathematics.
