Origin Era

Origin era places a mathematical object in the period when it was first studied. Wikipedia notes "the Fibonacci numbers were first described in Indian mathematics as early as 200 BC in work by Pingala on enumerating possible patterns of Sanskrit poetry," centuries before Fibonacci's own book. Browsing by origin era shows how old a familiar mathematical object really is.
