Book Synopsis Mesopotamian Mathematics, 2100-1600 BC by : Eleanor Robson

Download or read book Mesopotamian Mathematics, 2100-1600 BC written by Eleanor Robson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mathematics was integral to Mesopotamian scribal culture: indeed, writing was invented towards the end of the fourth millennium B.C. for the express purpose of recording numericalatical information. The main body of this book is a mathematical and philological discussion of the two hundred technical constants, or "coefficients," found in early second millennium mathematics. Their names and mathematical functions are established, leading to improved interpretations of several large mathematical topics. The origins of many coefficients--and much of the more practical mathematics--are traced to late third millennium accounting and quantity surveying practices. Finally, the coefficients are used to examine some aspects of mathematics education in early Mesopotamia.
