The New Palaces: 1700 - 1450 B.C. hough the destruction must have been a setback, Minoan culture continued to flourish, and with the palaces reconstructed on a still grander scale the society entered its golden age.
But in about 1450 BC came destruction on a calamitous scale: the palaces were smashed and (with the exception of Knossos itself) burned, and smaller settlements across the island devastated.
In about 1370 BC, Knossos was itself burnt, whether by rebellious Cretans, a new wave of Mycenaeans, or perhaps as a result of another natural disaster on a smaller scale.

 A brief history of algebraic notation School Science and Mathematics - Find Articles
The process of the development of a standardized, efficient symbol system is illustrated by tracing the evolution of some common symbols, including the symbols for equals, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
The types of equations and notations used today were first introduced around 1700 BC and stabilized by about 1700 AD.
The two factors playing the largest role in standardizing mathematical symbols were the invention of the printing press (c.1450) and economies strong enough to encourage the travel of scholars, resulting in the transmission of ideas.
