It gets worse

Another update for the timeline, I think we can all appreciate just how bad it is that the entire human race only had six humans contribute to mathematics over the course of 100 years.

100 B.C.E.
Zenodorus (c. 100?? BCE?)
Posidonius (c. 135-c. 51)
Marcus Terentius Varro (116-27)
Zeno of Sidon (c. 79 BCE)
Geminus of Rhodes (fl. c. 77 BCE)
Cleomedes (c. 40? BCE?)

    Mathematics is so complex and can be very abstract. I'm always impressed with those who are able to excel in mathematics.

    I don't think we should look down upon that, but rather look at those great nations supporting mathematics.

    The advanced stuff gets way too abstract to keep up on, unless you're dedicated to it.

    Indeed, but there contributions are the Major ones, and I'm very sure there have been much more people that contributed to developing other minor parts of these theories etc, but were not listed in history because they just weren't "major enough"
