Customer Reviews

This book contains a study of the technical constants found in Old Babylonian mathematics 4000 years ago - the earliest `pure' mathematics in history. Their origins are traced to earlier accounting and administrative practices, and are used to examine aspects of mathematics education in early Mesopotamia.
