Description

Expand your understanding of ancient mathematics with this detailed monograph from Springer. As a continuation of A Remarkable Collection of Babylonian Mathematical Texts (2007), this volume provides an in-depth look at both unpublished and previously published Babylonian mathematical texts written in cuneiform script. Authored by Joran Friberg, a leading expert in the field, this work moves beyond simple translation to explore the broader context of ancient arithmetic. The text examines Late Babylonian arithmetical and metro-mathematical table texts sourced from Babylon, Uruk, and Sippar. Additionally, it covers collections of mathematical exercises from four Old Babylonian sites and introduces a new text for study. This book is an essential resource for researchers, students, and historians interested in the history of mathematics and physical sciences. By analyzing these ancient scripts, readers gain direct access to the mathematical methods used in antiquity, making it a foundational text for anyone studying the evolution of scientific thought.
