What race/empire/country/civilization has been the one that produces the best math in history and apported the most to mankind?
I would say greeks or indians.

France.
When it comes to pure math, france/Germany toss up (ancient Greeks if you want to judge it a certain way). Including applied math, physics, and other similar contributions to civilisation, probably England and Germany. In the 20th century russia and the USA get on Frances level, and Germany falls a bit, due to the wars + tons of scientific funding for user and USA during the cold war.

'Math', the abstract concept, itself originated in India.
'Most' is a difficult word to quantify and individuals, not countries technically contribute to advances.

Poles at the turn of the 20th century before shit hit the fan.

Maybe for "best math" but if only like 6 people can understand him I think it fails the second criterion

I'd argue France overall. For nowadays it's probably France, Russia, or the US. Historically, the Greeks did a bunch to set up mathematics, and so did countries in the middle east. Obviously, the middle east has fallen off quite a bit in recent times, though. Not to mention that the Egyptians not having a number for 0 causing them some issues.

If everyone can understand the math you're doing then it's baby math.
