It is any activity that utilizes computers to manage, process, and communicate critical information that is an integral part of modern industrial technology. - Computing The naive view of calculation must be overcome to utilize the power of computing. Therefore, the contributions of early civilizations to computing are considered the foundation of computing today - Early Civilizations This civilization thrived in Mesopotamia (Iraq) from about 2000 BC until about 500 BC. Clay cuneiform tables with mathematical texts were found and deciphered in the 19th century, which contain tables for various mathematical operations such as basic arithmetic operations, cubes, and square roots. - The Babylonians. Their numerical system used a base 10 number system which has distinct symbols for one, ten, a hundred, a thousand, a ten thousand, and a hundred thousand. - The Egyptians Works by Pythagoras and Thales centered on Geometry were two of the most remarkable contributions to early Greek mathematics, approximately 500-600 BC. - The Greeks He was a philosopher and mathematician who had spent time in Egypt to become familiarized with Egyptian mathematics. - Pythagoras It states that if A, B, and C are points on a circle, where the line AC is the circle\'s diameter, then the angle \
