Unexpected Links Between Egyptian And Babylonian Mathematics

"In this book, it is shown that the methods developed by the author for the close study of mathematical cuneiform texts can also be successfully applied to all kinds of Egyptian mathematical texts, hieratic, demotic, or Greek-Egyptian. At the same time, comparisons of a large number of individual Egyptian mathematical exercises with Babylonian parallels yield many new insights into the nature of Egyptian mathematics and show that Egyptian and Babylonian mathematics display greater similarities than expected."--BOOK JACKET.Friberg is the author of 'Unexpected Links Between Egyptian And Babylonian Mathematics ', published 2005 under ISBN 9789812563286 and ISBN 9812563288.
