Origin era places a mathematical concept in the period when it was first developed. Wikipedia dates the modern study of set theory to work begun "in the 1870s," followed soon after by the "discovery of paradoxes within naive set theory" that forced mathematicians to rebuild it on firmer footing. Browsing by origin era traces how mathematical ideas have built on each other over time.
