second half of 1st millennium BC — The Lo Shu Square, the unique normal magic square of order three, was discovered in China. c. 400 BC — Jaina mathematicians in India write the “Surya Prajinapti”, a mathematical text which classifies all numbers into three sets: enumerable, innumerable and infinite.
The spatial and chronological ordinal numbers corresponding to cardinals from 13 to 19 are the number followed by the suffix -th, as "sixteenth". For multiples of ten, the same principle applies, with terminal -y changed to -ieth , as "sixtieth".
To maintain as much of the original K-numbering of the list as possible, while re-ordering in the revised, chronological sequence, letters were added to the new numbers. The following list shows the latest edition (K 9), Köchel's original designation (K 1), and the sixth edition (K 6). Other addenda and supplements to the catalogue are marked ...
This is a timeline of pure and applied mathematics history.It is divided here into three stages, corresponding to stages in the development of mathematical notation: a "rhetorical" stage in which calculations are described purely by words, a "syncopated" stage in which quantities and common algebraic operations are beginning to be represented by symbolic abbreviations, and finally a "symbolic ...
Number systems have progressed from the use of fingers and tally marks, perhaps more than 40,000 years ago, to the use of sets of glyphs able to represent any conceivable number efficiently. The earliest known unambiguous notations for numbers emerged in Mesopotamia about 5000 or 6000 years ago.

In each table cell on the right, references to events or notable people are given, more or less in chronological order within the cell. Each row corresponds to a change in log (time before present) (that is, the logarithm of the time before the present) of about 0.1 (using base 10 logarithms).
