In the beginning, communication in mathematics presumably was mainly by word of mouth between scholar and student, and between individual scholars. Later came the schools of mathematics and the ...“academies”, such as Plato’s academy in ancient Athens, or the school of Euclid in Alexandria. Scholars there communicated orally and also by letters and manuscripts. But, since all of these early manuscripts were hand-copied, they were few in number. While many of these manuscripts have been handed down through the years, one can only wonder how much early mathematics has been lost without a trace. The invention of the printing press provided a revolution in communication and facilitated enormously the spread of ideas through the printed book. According to Eves E;p.517, the first printed arithmetic book was published in Treviso, Italy, in 1478, the first edition of Euclid’s Elements appeared in 1482, and the first work on mathematics printed in the New World appeared in 1556.
