Joran Friberg, Unexpected Links Between Egyptian and Babylonian Mathematics
World Scientific Publishing Company | ISBN 9812563288 | 2005 | DjVu (300dpi) | 6 MB | 307 pages
Mesopotamian mathematics is known from a great number of cuneiform texts, most of them Old Babylonian, some Late Babylonian or pre-Old-Babylonian, and has been intensively studied during the last couple of decades. In contrast to this Egyptian mathematics is known from only a small number of papyrus texts, and the few books and papers that have been written about Egyptian mathematical papyri have mostly reiterated the same old presentations and interpretations of the texts.
