Thales of Miletus ( c. 624 – c. 546 BC)

-One of the earliest known mathematicians

-He has been acclaimed as the first

real mathematician and the first
person to whom a mathematical
discovery has been attributed.
For instance, we possess an innate talent, called subitizing, instantly
recognizing quantity, which undoubtedly led to the concept of number.
We are very good at perceiving the edges of individual
objects and at distinguishing between straight and curved lines and
between different shapes, such as
circles and ellipses-abilities that probably led to the development of
arithmetic and geometry.
Platonism:

He believed that mathematical entities

are abstract and exist independently in
their world, outside of space and time.
Mathematics is the language of science and its structures
are innate to nature.
The timeless mathematical principles would remain true
even if the universe vanished tomorrow. It is upon us to
learn about it, comprehend how it works, and expand on
our understanding in order to develop answers for the
physical event we want to be under our control.
