How maths and history are related with one another?

Correlation between History and Mathematics:

The relationship between history and Mathematics is reciprocal. History helps mathematics to know about various mathematicians who were pioneers in their field and enriched mathematics by their contributions. History also provides the information about the origin and development of mathematics.

Mathematics helps history in regards to calculation of dates and days etc. of various historical events.

Acquisition of time sense in history is based on the knowledge of mathematics. These two subjects are complementary to each other. Really, speaking, there is a vast difference between the two subjects. Mathematics is generally called a dry subject, while history is supposed to be an interesting subject. But the knowledge of history can make teaching of mathematics quite interesting.

Clara Silvia Roero - Relationships Between History of Mathematics and History of Art

The Narmer Palette, Egyptian, ca. 3000 B.C., an excellent approximation of the catenary curve.

During the course of centuries mathematics has interacted in many ways with culture and human activities, and among these a place of privilege has been reserved for art and architecture.

This paper discusses several examples of the existence of three levels of interaction between mathematics and art: the presence of a mathematical substrate in various archaeological and artistic relics from antiquity, the conscious or unconscious application by artists of mathematical principles whose theories that had not yet been fully developed and, finally, the relationship established by some mathematicians with artists and art theorists that permitted an awareness and acquisition of mathematical knowledge and rules that were then applied to artistic creations. The development of these three levels of interactions between mathematics and art can be a valid aid to the creation of a unified vision of the history of culture of peoples and civilizations, indicating various kinds of influence: technical-practical, theoretical-scientific, mystical-sacred, principles and customs, etc.
Indeed, in the wake of a long-term historiographic approach, new research perspectives have emerged recently that have been favourably received by art historians and critics.
