A. INTRODUCTION

Study coverage is called as mathematics history is especially in the form of investigation to coming from new finding in mathematics, in smaller scope in the form of investigation to standard mathematics notation and method in ancient time.
Before modern epoch and global spread over knowledge, the examples was written from new mathematics development have reaching is only in some place. Ancient mathematics article which have been found is Plimpton 322 (numerical Mathematics Babylonia of year 1900 is Pre-Christian), numerical Egypt mathematics Moscow mathematics sheet of year 1850 is pre-Christian), Rhind mathematics sheet (numerical Egypt mathematics of year 1650 is pre-Christian) and Shulba Sutra (numerical India mathematics of year 800 is pre-Christian).
All pertinent articles give all minds to what habit known as Pythagoras Theorem, what seen to be as result of most widespread and ancient mathematics development after elementary arithmetic and geometry.


B. ACTIVITY
Activity in studying history of mathematics is with searching article about mathematics history in internet. Besides also read book related to mathematics history, for example Howard Eves composition book.

C. RESULT
Some activity sample result in studying mathematics history shall be as follows:
1. Pythagoras Theorem and Triple Pythagoras
Habit assume Pythagoras as theorem inventor in right triangle which now by [is] totally referred [as] by the name of him, that hypotenuse square from right triangle [is] the amount of other square two sides. we have see this theorem [is] recognized [by] Babylonia people [at] a period of/to Hamurabi, more than last 1000 year, but first verification from this best theorem is which have been given by Pythagoras. There are still a lot of conjectures as Pythagoras evidence admits of to assay and in general evidence might be the pertained dissection type.
But Eudemian summary looking into triangle theorem come from Pythagoras followers. Because verification from this theorem needs knowledge about some nature of from parallel line, Pythagoras antecedent followers are also looked into meritorious in developing that theory.
Since Pythagoras epoch, many difference evidence for the theorem of Pythagoras. In secondary printing; mould book which entitle "The Pythagoras Proposition", E.S. Lcomis have collected and classify 370 evidences from famous theorem.

2. ARAB MATHEMATICS
Islam mathematician give good contribution which is either in geometry algebra area which its top there are resolving of geometry from cubic equation by Omar Kayyam.
Some Islam mathematicians show attention to undetermined. Analysis given by a evidence for the theorem of expressing that not possible to be found two positive integer which cubic amount is equal to rank three from an integer third.
Al-Karkhi is the first Arab writer which makes and prove theorem yielding amounts from square and cubic from n the first original number.

D. CONCLUSION
During the time we have studied mathematics. Learnt history of mathematics, we get motivation to continue to learn mathematics.

A. Introduction

I am sure that all of us know about Pythagoras with his popular theorem which side’s comparison of a right angled of triangle. If c is the symbol of sideways, and two sides other are a and b, so c² = a² + b².

Of course we guess that Pythagoras is the true scientist (more than his popular as philosopher). But all of your guess will be controvertible when you read this statement, that Pythagoras is very belief in superstitions, moreover he make his superstitious himself, of course with the philosophy principles. As a philosopher, he has many follower they name is Pythagorean.

Pythagoras is familiar as a mathematician. He gives important contribution for science development (especially mathematics).

B. Role of Pythagoras in Mathematics Development

Mathematics has an important role in the human’s life. Science and technology progress which very quick now, it caused by mathematics role. Can say that main base of science and technology is mathematics.

The discovery of paramount importance from Pythagoras is in the right angled of triangle equals quadrate of it’s sideways, moreover uncomparison theorem content nullifying again all Pythagoras philosophy. Because adequate insufficient arithmetical theory hit uncomparison, hence these matters progressively assure all mathematicians at the time that geometry have to be compiled separately with arithmetical.

And since then geometry have big influence to erudite method and philosophy. Deductive reasoning of axiomatic become main key in comprehending knowledge. This bring consequence, mathematics shall no longer study objects which directly can be arrested by human being senses. Mathematics substances are object think having the character of abstract. And become pure mathematics predominate.

For example, geometry deal with exact circles however is careful we were drawing by using meter, immanent of irregularity and imperfection. These prove view that any reasoning of exact only by reference to different ideal object with object sensory. Farther this bring view in philosophy that mind more especial than senses, and mind object more real compared to sensory perception objects.

Mystique doctrine which is concerning relation between eternity and time even also get support from pure mathematics, mathematics objects, like number, real even if, etemal in character and do not burst by time. Endless objects that way conception as the infinite mind. Hence do not surprise if emerging Plato doctrine that God is geometry expert. Different rationalistic religions with apocalyptic religion, since Pythagoras, and especially since Plato, have fully predominated by mathematical method and mathematics.

Mathematics combination and theology, beginning from Pythagoras, have inculcated characteristic at philosophy which have religion pattern of Greek, in the middle ages and modern-day till Immanuel Kant. But starting Plato era and Descartes happened circumstantial solidarity between reasoning and religion, between moral aspiration and logic attitude glorifying all which is eternal. This matter do not get out of influence predominate pure mathematics of that time.
